Chemical-Potential-Assisted Particle Production in FRW Spacetimes

Chon Man Sou, Xi Tong, Yi Wang

We analyze gravitational particle production assisted by chemical potential. By utilizing the uniformly smoothed Stokes-line method and Borel summation, we gain insight into the fi…

A Bit Rate Bound on Superluminal Communication

Xi Tong, Yi Wang, Yuhang Zhu

We study semi-classical communication in positivity-violating k-essence scalar field theories, with superluminal modes propagating on a rolling background. The self-interactions du…

Gravitational Collider Physics via Pulsar-Black Hole Binaries

Qianhang Ding, Xi Tong, Yi Wang

We propose to use pulsar-black hole binaries as a probe of gravitational collider physics. Induced by the gravitation of the pulsar, the atomic transitions of the boson cloud aroun…

Gauge Invariance, Polar Coordinates and Inflation

Ali Akil, Xi Tong

We point out the necessity of resolving the apparent gauge dependence in the quantum corrections of cosmological observables for Higgs-like inflation models. We highlight the fact…

Probing P and CP Violations on the Cosmological Collider

Tao Liu, Xi Tong, Yi Wang +1

In direct analogy to the 4-body decay of a heavy scalar particle, the 4-point correlation function of primordial fluctuations carries P and CP information. The CP violation appears…

When Primordial Black Holes from Sound Speed Resonance Meet a Stochastic Background of Gravitational Waves

Yi-Fu Cai, Chao Chen, Xi Tong +2

As potential candidates of dark matter, primordial black holes (PBHs) are within the core scopes of various astronomical observations. In light of the explosive development of grav…
