Detecting Axion-Like Particles With Coiled Optical Fibers I: Silica Fibers

Gia Dvali, Sebastian Zell, Tongxuan Zhang

We propose a new approach to axion-like particle (ALP) searches based on long, coiled optical fibers in an external magnetic field. We develop the theoretical framework required to…

Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity: unifying the strong CP and hierarchy puzzles

Georgios K. Karananas, Mikhail Shaposhnikov, Sebastian Zell

We show that the minimal Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity in combination with the Standard Model of particle physics contains just one extra scalar degree of freedom (in addi…

Consistent particle physics in metric-affine gravity from extended projective symmetry

Will Barker, Sebastian Zell

It is well-known that the Einstein-Hilbert action exhibits a projective invariance in metric-affine gravity, generated by a single vector (just like diffeomorphisms). However, this…

Scale invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity and flat space conformal symmetry

Georgios K. Karananas, Mikhail Shaposhnikov, Sebastian Zell

We find the conditions under which scale-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity with scalar matter fields leads to an approximate conformal invariance of the flat space particle theory…

Critical Points in Palatini Higgs Inflation with Small Non-Minimal Coupling

Arthur Poisson, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell

We investigate inflation driven by the Higgs boson in the Palatini formulation of General Relativity. Our analysis primarily focuses on a small non-minimal coupling of the Higgs fi…
