Backreaction of Schwinger pair creation in massive QED
Gregory Gold, David A. McGady, Subodh P. Patil +1
Particle-antiparticle pairs can be produced by background electric fields via the Schwinger mechanism provided they are unconfined. If, as in QED in (3+1)- these particles are m…
Ultralight Fermionic Dark Matter
Hooman Davoudiasl, Peter B. Denton, David A. McGady
Conventional lore from Tremaine and Gunn excludes fermionic dark matter lighter than a few hundred eV, based on the Pauli exclusion principle. We highlight a simple way of evading…
Black hole evaporation and semiclassicality at large D
Frederik Holdt-Sørensen, David A. McGady, Nico Wintergerst
Black holes of sufficiently large initial radius are expected to be well described by a semiclassical analysis at least until half of their initial mass has evaporated away. For a…
Temperature-reflection II: Modular Invariance and T-reflection
David A. McGady
In this paper, we present robust evidence that general finite temperature quantum field theory (QFT) path integrals are invariant under reflecting temperatures to negative values (…
Modular Forms on the Double Half-Plane
John F. R. Duncan, David A. McGady
We formulate a notion of modular form on the double half-plane for half-integral weights and explain its relationship to the usual notion of modular form. The construction we provi…
L-functions for Meromorphic Modular Forms and Sum Rules in Conformal Field Theory
David A. McGady
We define L-functions for meromorphic modular forms that are regular at cusps, and use them to: (i) find new relationships between Hurwitz class numbers and traces of singular modu…
