The Waters We Swim In: Replicability and the Evolution of Scientific Norms
Hope Bretscher, Núria Muñoz Garganté
In recent years, a series of high-profile retractions and fraud cases have arisen in physics, sparking a conversation about research integrity and replicability. Here, we discuss h…

Trace conservation laws in orbifold gauge theories
Kota Takeuchi, Tomohiro Inagaki
Gauge theory compactified on an orbifold is defined by gauge symmetry, matter contents, and boundary conditions. There are equivalence classes (ECs), each of which consists of phys…

New classification method for Equivalence Classes on and Orbifolds
Kota Takeuchi, Tomohiro Inagaki
In five- and six-dimensional and gauge theories compactified on and orbifolds, we propose a new method to classify the equivalence classes (ECs)…
