Effects of quenched disorder in three-dimensional lattice gauge Higgs models
Claudio Bonati, Ettore Vicari
We study the effects of uncorrelated quenched disorder to the phase diagram and continuous transitions of three-dimensional lattice gauge Higgs models. For this pur…
Finite-temperature topological transitions in the presence of quenched uncorrelated disorder
Claudio Bonati, Ettore Vicari
We address issues related to the presence of defects at finite-temperature topological transitions, in particular when defects are modeled in terms of further variables associated…
Strong CP problem, theta term and QCD topological properties
Claudio Bonanno, Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia
In this chapter we introduce the -dependence and the topological properties of QCD, features of the strongly interacting sector which give rise to the strong CP problem in the…
The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…
Stability of universal properties against perturbations of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm
Matteo Bacci, Claudio Bonati
We numerically investigate the stability of universal properties at continuous phase transitions against perturbations of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm used to simulate th…
Three-dimensional Abelian and non-Abelian gauge Higgs theories
Claudio Bonati, Andrea Pelissetto, Ettore Vicari
Gauge symmetries and Higgs mechanisms are key features of theories describing high-energy particle physics and collective phenomena in statistical and condensed-matter physics. In…
