Andrew Pawl
Krauss and Wilczek have shown that an unbroken discrete gauge symmetry is respected by gravitationally mediated processes. This has led to a search for such a symmetry compatible w…

The Timescale for Loss of Massive Vector Hair by a Black Hole and its Consequences for Proton Decay
Andrew Pawl
It has long been known that matter charged under a broken U(1) gauge symmetry collapsing to form a black hole will radiate away the associated external (massive) gauge field. We sh…
