Gravitational Waves from Dark Yang-Mills Sectors
James Halverson, Cody Long, Anindita Maiti +2
Dark Yang-Mills sectors, which are ubiquitous in the string landscape, may be reheated above their critical temperature and subsequently go through a confining first-order phase tr…
On String Theory Expectations for Photon Couplings to Axion-Like Particles
James Halverson, Cody Long, Brent Nelson +1
ALP-photon couplings are modeled in large ensembles of string vacua and random matrix theories. In all cases, the effective coupling increases polynomially in the number of ALPs, o…
Branes with Brains: Exploring String Vacua with Deep Reinforcement Learning
James Halverson, Brent Nelson, Fabian Ruehle
We propose deep reinforcement learning as a model-free method for exploring the landscape of string vacua. As a concrete application, we utilize an artificial intelligence agent kn…
On Axion Reheating in the String Landscape
James Halverson, Cody Long, Brent Nelson +1
We demonstrate that asymmetric reheating arises in a large ensemble of string compactifications with many axions and gauged dark sectors. This phenomenon may help avoid numerous co…
Estimating Calabi-Yau Hypersurface and Triangulation Counts with Equation Learners
Ross Altman, Jonathan Carifio, James Halverson +1
We provide the first estimate of the number of fine, regular, star triangulations of the four-dimensional reflexive polytopes, as classified by Kreuzer and Skarke (KS). This provid…
hep-th
Yang-Hui He, Vishnu Jejjala, Brent D. Nelson
We apply techniques in natural language processing, computational linguistics, and machine-learning to investigate papers in hep-th and four related sections of the arXiv: hep-ph,…
