Monopole Catalysis from Standard Model Anomalies

Nathaniel Craig, Dan Sehayek

We study the generalized symmetries associated with Standard Model flavor and their fate in the presence of magnetic monopoles. This illuminates a striking phenomenological consequ…

Supersymmetric geometry in non-supersymmetric effective field theory

Nathaniel Craig, Andrew Fee, Yu-Tse Lee

We develop a geometric framework for non-supersymmetric effective gauge theories based on their nonlinear supersymmetrizations. We construct supersymmetric embeddings for most oper…

High-quality Axion Strings from Monopole Strings

Nathaniel Craig, Amalia Madden

Five-dimensional 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole strings whose cores restore a non-abelian gauge symmetry become axion strings for extra-dimensional axions. The parametric separation be…

Generalized symmetries and emergence in axion effective field theories

Dan Sehayek, Nathaniel Craig

We study the phenomenological consequences of higher symmetry structures in axion effective field theories. Higher-group and non-invertible symmetries impose parametric constraints…

ISS-flation

Nathaniel J. Craig

Inflation may occur while rolling into the metastable supersymmetry-breaking vacuum of massive supersymmetric QCD. We explore the range of parameters in which slow-roll inflation a…

Reheating Metastable O'Raifeartaigh Models

Nathaniel J. Craig, Patrick J. Fox, Jay G. Wacker

In theories with multiple vacua, reheating to a temperature greater than the height of a barrier can stimulate transitions from a desirable metastable vacuum to a lower energy stat…
