Scale Invariance and Compact Star Matter

Hyun Kyu Lee, Won-Gi Paeng

We present discussions on the possibility of emerging hidden scale symmetry, as a pseudo-conformal phase in super dense baryonic matter, using the velocity of sound as a criterion…

Why Geometric Continuity Emerges in Deep Neural Networks: Residual Connections and Rotational Symmetry Breaking

Kyungwon Jeong, Won-Gi Paeng, Honggyo Suh

Weight matrices in deep networks exhibit geometric continuity---principal singular vectors of adjacent layers point in similar directions. While this property has been widely obser…

An Axiomatic Approach to General Intelligence: SANC(E3) -- Self-organizing Active Network of Concepts with Energy E3

Daesuk Kwon, Won-gi Paeng

General intelligence must reorganize experience into internal structures that enable prediction and action under finite resources. Existing systems implicitly presuppose fixed prim…

Folded Context Condensation in Path Integral Formalism for Infinite Context Transformers

Won-Gi Paeng, Daesuk Kwon, Kyungwon Jeong +1

In this work, we present a generalized formulation of the Transformer algorithm by reinterpreting its core mechanisms within the framework of Path Integral formalism. In this persp…

Cusp in the Symmetry Energy, Speed of Sound in Neutron Stars and Emergent Pseudo-Conformal Symmetry

Hyun Kyu Lee, Yong-Liang Ma, Won-Gi Paeng +1

We review how the "cusp" predicted in the nuclear symmetry energy generated by a topology change at density $n_{1/2}\gsim 2 n_0$ can have a surprising consequence, so far unrecogni…

The Inhomogeneous Phase of Dense Skyrmion Matter

Byung-Yoon Park, Won-Gi Paeng, Vicente Vento

It was predicted qualitatively in ref.[1] that skyrmion matter at low density is stable in an inhomogeneous phase where skyrmions condensate into lumps while the remaining space is…

Nuclear structure in Parity Doublet Model

Myeong-Hwan Mun, Ik Jae Shin, Won-Gi Paeng +2

Using an extended parity doublet model with the hidden local symmetry, we study some properties of nuclei in the mean field approximation to see if the parity doublet model could r…

A pseudo-conformal equation of state in compact-star matter from topology change and hidden symmetries of QCD

Yong-Liang Ma, Hyun Kyu Lee, Won-Gi Paeng +1

We construct a new effective field theory approach to the equation of state (EoS), dubbed pseudo-confomal model "PCM," for nuclear and compact star matter entirely in terms of effe…

Scale-Invariant Hidden Local Symmetry, Topology Change and Dense Baryonic Matter II

Won-Gi Paeng, Thomas T. S. Kuo, Hyun Kyu Lee +2

Exploiting certain robust topological inputs from the skyrmion description of compressed baryonic matter with a scale-chiral symmetric Lagrangian, we predict the equation of state…

Scale-Chiral Symmetry, Proton Mass and Sound Velocity in Compact-Star Matter

Won-Gi Paeng, Mannque Rho

With a light dilaton and the light-quark vector mesons incorporated into an effective scale-invariant hidden local symmetric Lagrangian, scale-chiral symmetry -- hidd…

The Role of Vector Mesons for Emergent Scale-Chiral Symmetry in Nuclear Interactions

Won-Gi Paeng, Mannque Rho

When a light scalar dilaton and the light-quark vector mesons are incorporated into an effective scale-invariant hidden local symmetric (sHLS) Lagrangian, scale symme…

Scale-Invariant Hidden Local Symmetry, Topology Change and Dense Baryonic Matter

Won-Gi Paeng, Thomas T. S. Kuo, Hyun Kyu Lee +1

When scale symmetry is implemented into hidden local symmetry in low-energy strong interactions to arrive at a scale-invariant hidden local symmetric (HLS) theory, the scalar $f_0(…

Scalar Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Boson in Nuclei and Dense Nuclear Matter

Hyun Kyu Lee, Won-Gi Paeng, Mannque Rho

The notion that the scalar listed as in the particle data booklet is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson of spontaneously broken scale symmetry, explicitly broken by a…

Kaon Condensation in Baryonic Fermi Liquid at High Density

Won-Gi Paeng, Mannque Rho

We formulate kaon condensation in dense baryonic matter with anti-kaons fluctuating from the Fermi-liquid fixed point. This entails that in the Wilsonian RG approach, the decimatio…

Pair Production of Majorana Neutrinos by Annihilation of Charged Particles in High Energy Collision

Young Moon Goh, Hyun Kyu Lee, Won-Gi Paeng +1

Assuming that neutrinos have non-vanishing magnetic moments, we discuss the possibility of pair production through annihilation of charged fermions in high-energy collisions. Adopt…

Interplay between ω-Nucleon Interaction and Nucleon Mass in Dense Baryonic Matter

Won-Gi Paeng, Hyun Kyu Lee, Mannque Rho +1

The dilaton-limit fixed point and the scaling properties of hadrons in the close vicinity of the fixed point in dense baryonic matter uncovered in hidden local symmetry implemented…

Dilaton-Limit Fixed Point in Hidden Local Symmetric Parity Doublet Model

Won-Gi Paeng, Hyun Kyu Lee, Mannque Rho +1

We study nucleon structure with positive and negative parities using a parity doublet model endowed with hidden local symmetry (HLS) with the objective to probe dense baryonic matt…
