Topological Axi-Higgs Dynamics in Anomalous Portals
Claudio Corianò, Stefano Lionetti
We develop an effective axi-Higgs model with one Standard Model Higgs doublet, one charged hidden Higgs and an anomalous Abelian vector portal. Extending previous Higgs--Stueckelbe…
The QCD Trace Anomaly in Pion Gravitational Form Factors with Sudakov Resummation

We reassess the consistency conditions for a hypothetical population of primordial, electrically charged compact objects, here called astrons. This paper formulates astrons not as…
Gauging Axionic Symmetries and Dark Matter: In memory of George Lazarides
Claudio Corianò
These notes are written for a memorial Session dedicated to George Lazarides. They revisit a joint work on the cosmology of a gauged axion and place it in a broader line of ideas c…
