Analyticity and positivity of Green's functions without Lorentz

Paolo Creminelli, Alessandro Longo, Borna Salehian +1

We study the properties imposed by microcausality and positivity on the retarded two-point Green's function in a theory with spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance. We assume i…

Positivity bounds on electromagnetic properties of media

Paolo Creminelli, Oliver Janssen, Borna Salehian +1

We study the constraints imposed on the electromagnetic response of general media by microcausality (commutators of local fields vanish outside the light cone) and positivity of th…

Dissipative Inflation via Scalar Production

Paolo Creminelli, Soubhik Kumar, Borna Salehian +1

We describe a new mechanism that gives rise to dissipation during cosmic inflation. In the simplest implementation, the mechanism requires the presence of a massive scalar field wi…

Beyond Schrödinger-Poisson: Nonrelativistic Effective Field Theory for Scalar Dark Matter

Borna Salehian, Hong-Yi Zhang, Mustafa A. Amin +2

Massive scalar fields provide excellent dark matter candidates, whose dynamics are often explored analytically and numerically using nonrelativistic Schrödinger-Poisson (SP) equati…

Dark photon dark matter from charged inflaton

Hassan Firouzjahi, Mohammad Ali Gorji, Shinji Mukohyama +1

We present a scenario of vector dark matter production during inflation containing a complex inflaton field which is charged under a dark gauge field and which has a symmetry break…

Vector dark matter production from inflation with symmetry breaking

Borna Salehian, Mohammad Ali Gorji, Hassan Firouzjahi +1

We present a scenario of vector dark matter production from symmetry breaking at the end of inflation. In this model, the accumulated energy density associated with the quantum flu…
