Flavored axion-monodromy inflation
Christopher D. Carone, Raymundo Ramos, Zhen Wang
The hierarchy of fermion masses in the standard model may arise via the breaking of discrete gauge symmetries. The renormalizable interactions of the flavor-symmetry-breaking poten…
Multi-field inflation and the field-space metric
Joshua Erlich, Jackson Olsen, Zhen Wang
Multi-field inflation models include a variety of scenarios for how inflation proceeds and ends. Models with the same potential but different kinetic terms are common in the litera…
Dante's Waterfall
Christopher D. Carone, Joshua Erlich, Anuraag Sensharma +1
We describe a hybrid axion-monodromy inflation model motivated by the Dante's Inferno scenario. In Dante's Inferno, a two-field potential features a stable trench along which a lin…
Model Sensitivity in Holographic Superconductors and their Deconstructed Cousins
Joshua Erlich, Zhen Wang
Holographic models of superconductors successfully reproduce certain experimental features of high-temperature superconductors, such as a large gap-to-T_c ratio compared to that of…
