Gravitational contributions to the electron -factor
Andrew G. Cohen, David B. Kaplan
In a previous paper, the authors with Ann Nelson proposed that the UV and IR applicability of effective quantum field theories should be constrained by requiring that strong gravit…
Energy Conservation and the Chiral Magnetic Effect
David B. Kaplan, Sanjay Reddy, Srimoyee Sen
We analyze the chiral magnetic effect in a homogeneous neutral plasma from the point of view of energy conservation, and construct an effective potential for the growth of maximall…
Little Flavor and U(2) Family Symmetry
Dorota M. Grabowska, David B. Kaplan
We examine an effective field theory inspired by Little Flavor that demonstrates a new paradigm for generating quark and lepton masses in which the scale of new flavor physics can…
The Role of the Electron Mass in Damping Chiral Magnetic Instability in Supernova and Neutron Stars
Dorota Grabowska, David B. Kaplan, Sanjay Reddy
We show that the nonzero electron mass plays a critical role in determining the magnetic properties of neutron stars, making it impossible to generate the chiral charge density nee…
Little flavor: A model of weak-scale flavor physics
Sichun Sun, David B. Kaplan, Ann E. Nelson
We describe a model of quarks which identifies the large global symmetries of little Higgs models with the global flavor symmetries that arise in a deconstruction of the extra-dime…
Spacetime as a topological insulator: Mechanism for the origin of the fermion generations
David B. Kaplan, Sichun Sun
We suggest a mechanism whereby the three generations of quarks and leptons correspond to surface modes in a five-dimensional theory. These modes arise from a nonlinear fermion disp…
