Yukawa couplings in F-theory as D-brane instanton effects

Andres Collinucci, Iñaki García-Etxebarria

In a weak coupling limit the neighborhood of Yukawa points in GUT F-theory models is described by a non-resolvable orientifold of the conifold. We explicitly show, fi…

Loading Ultracold Gases in Topological Floquet Bands: Current and Center-of-Mass Responses

A. Dauphin, D. -T. Tran, M. Lewenstein +1

Topological band structures can be designed by subjecting lattice systems to time-periodic modulations, as was recently demonstrated in cold atoms and photonic crystals. However, c…

The logarithmic Choquard equation: sharp asymptotics and nondegeneracy of the groundstate

Denis Bonheure, Silvia Cingolani, Jean Van Schaftingen

We derive the asymptotic decay of the unique positive, radially symmetric solution to the logarithmic Choquard equation $$ - Δu + a u = \frac{1}{2 π} \Bigl[\ln \frac{1}{|x|}* |u|^2…

An empirical recipe for inelastic hydrogen-atom collisions in non-LTE calculations

Rana Ezzeddine, Thibault Merle, Bertrand Plez +3

We investigate the role of hydrogen collisions in NLTE spectral line synthesis, and introduce a new general empirical recipe to determine inelastic charge transfer (CT) and bound-b…

Planar posets have dimension at most linear in their height

Gwenaël Joret, Piotr Micek, Veit Wiechert

We prove that every planar poset of height has dimension at most . This improves on previous exponential bounds and is best possible up to a constant factor. We…

Pullbacks of hyperplane sections for Lagrangian fibrations are primitive

Ljudmila Kamenova, Misha Verbitsky

Let p: M -> B be a Lagrangian fibration on a hyperkahler manifold of maximal holonomy (also known as IHS), and H the generator of the Picard group of B. We prove that the pullback…

A Clockwork WIMP

Thomas Hambye, Daniele Teresi, Michel H. G. Tytgat

We embed a thermal dark matter (DM) candidate within the clockwork framework. This mechanism allows to stabilize the DM particle over cosmological time because it suppresses its de…
