Infinite Distances and Factorization
John Stout
The information metric provides a unique notion of distance along any continuous family of physical theories, placing two theories further apart the more distinguishable they are.…
Sharp Signals of Boson Clouds in Black Hole Binary Inspirals
Daniel Baumann, Gianfranco Bertone, John Stout +1
Gravitational waves (GWs) are an exciting new probe of physics beyond the standard models of gravity and particle physics. One interesting possibility is provided by the so-called…
Ionization of Gravitational Atoms
Daniel Baumann, Gianfranco Bertone, John Stout +1
Superradiant instabilities may create clouds of ultralight bosons around rotating black holes, forming so-called "gravitational atoms." It was recently shown that the presence of a…
Infinite Distance Limits and Information Theory
John Stout
The classical information metric provides a unique notion of distance on the space of probability distributions with a well-defined operational interpretation: two distributions ar…
Axion Mass from Magnetic Monopole Loops
JiJi Fan, Katherine Fraser, Matthew Reece +1
We show that axions interacting with abelian gauge fields obtain a potential from loops of magnetic monopoles. This is a consequence of the Witten effect: the axion field causes th…
Instanton Expansions and Phase Transitions
John Stout
A central object in any axionic theory is its periodic potential, which is typically generated by instantons. The goal of this paper is to understand what physically happens to the…
