The Nordic-walking mechanism and its explanation of deconfined pseudocriticality from Wess-Zumino-Witten theory
Bilal Hawashin, Astrid Eichhorn, Lukas Janssen +2
The understanding of phenomena falling outside the Ginzburg-Landau paradigm of phase transitions represents a key challenge in condensed matter physics. A famous class of examples…
Light fermions in color: why the quark mass is not the Planck mass
Gustavo P. de Brito, Astrid Eichhorn, Shouryya Ray
We investigate whether quantum gravity fluctuations can break chiral symmetry for fermions that are charged under a and an gauge symmetry and thus closely r…
Suppression of proton decay in quantum gravity
Astrid Eichhorn, Shouryya Ray
The bound on the proton lifetime is one of a small handful of observations that constrains physics not far from the Planck scale. This calls for a calculation of the proton lifetim…
Unconventional Gross-Neveu quantum criticality: Interaction-induced SO(3)-biadjoint insulator and emergent SU(3) symmetry
Shouryya Ray
I point out that Gross-Neveu theory with SO(3) isospin in three spacetime dimensions -- proposed recently, for instance, as an effective description of the Néel transition in certa…
