A New Limit on CMB Circular Polarization from SPIDER
J. M. Nagy, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +58
We present a new upper limit on CMB circular polarization from the 2015 flight of SPIDER, a balloon-borne telescope designed to search for -mode linear polarization from cosmic…
Metastable Supersymmetry Breaking in a Cooling Universe
Vadim S. Kaplunovsky
I put metastable supersymmetry breaking in a cosmological context. I argue that under reasonable assumptions, the cooling down early Universe favors metastable SUSY-breaking vacua…
Classical Renormalization of Codimension-two Brane Couplings
Claudia de Rham
The curvature on codimension-two and higher branes is not regular for arbitrary matter sources. Nevertheless, the low-energy theory for an observer on such a brane should be well-d…
Stringy Model of Cosmological Dark Energy
Irina Ya. Aref'eva
A string field theory(SFT) nonlocal model of the cosmological dark energy providing w<-1 is briefly surveyed. We summarize recent developments and open problems, as well as point o…
Quasi-exactly solvable quasinormal modes
Choon-Lin Ho, Hing-Tong Cho
We consider quasinormal modes with complex energies from the point of view of the theory of quasi-exactly solvable (QES) models. We demonstrate that it is possible to find new pote…
Short distance modifications to Newton's law in SUSY braneworld scenarios
Gonzalo A. Palma
In braneworld models coming from string theory one generally encounters massless scalar degrees of freedom -moduli- parameterizing the volume of small compact extra-dimensions. Her…
