Remarks on the Axion Domain Wall Problem
Michael Dine
Theories in which the Peccei-Quinn phase transition occurs after inflation tend to suffer from problematic domain walls. One possible solution involves a small, explicit breaking o…
On the Possibility of Demonstrating Confinement in Non-Supersymmetric Theories by Deforming Confining Supersymmetric Theories
Michael Dine
We review arguments that supersymmetric QCD with colors and massive quarks confines. We explain that this remains the case for small soft breakings and small supers…
The Problem of Axion Quality: A Low Energy Effective Action Perspective
Michael Dine
Any would-be Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is vulnerable to various types of explicit breaking. It has long been recognized that these can disrupt the axion solution to the strong CP…
Challenges to Obtaining Results for Real QCD from SUSY QCD
Michael Dine, Yan Yu
Recently there have been proposals to understand features of QCD such as confinement and chiral symmetry breaking by considering supersymmetric versions of the theory with various…
Light Quarks at Large
Daniel Davies, Michael Dine, Benjamin V. Lehmann
Lattice gauge theory simulations are our principal probe of the masses of the light quarks. Results from such computations are the primary evidence against the solution to…
Low Energy Effective Theory for Axion Strings
Michael Dine
We consider aspects of the low energy description of global cosmic strings. In the non-relativistic limit, we study the extent to which these are described by the combination of th…
