Chiral--Maxwell Cavity EFT: Reduced Gauge-Mode Condensation and Quantum-Optics Limits
Fabrizio Canfora, Mauricio Ipinza, Simon Riquelme +1
We develop a finite-volume Chiral--Maxwell effective field theory in which a topologically nontrivial hadronic sector acts as a nonlinear medium for a reduced cavity gauge mode. St…

EFT Approach to Black Hole Scalarization and its Compatibility with Cosmic Evolution
Cristián Erices, Simón Riquelme, Nicolás Zalaquett
We address the issue of black hole scalarization and its compatibility with cosmic inflation and big bang cosmology from an effective field theory (EFT) point of view. In practice,…

A Tip for Landscape Riders: Multi-Field Inflation Can Fulfill the Swampland Distance Conjecture
Rafael Bravo, Gonzalo A. Palma, Simon Riquelme
We study how both the swampland distance conjecture and the Lyth bound affect the parameter space of multi-field models of inflation. A generic feature of multi-field inflation is…
