Real-time topological rate at non-zero momentum in quenched QCD
Claudio Bonanno, Massimo D'Elia, Roberto Dionisio +5
We present a proof-of-concept numerical study of the real-time topological rate at non-zero momentum in quenched lattice QCD at a temperature MeV,…
Axiverse Strings Resolved
Rudin Petrossian-Byrne, Giovanni Villadoro
Axiverse cosmic strings are resolved by non-perturbative string states with large tension. We show how, in some regions of moduli space, they dissolve into low-tension configuratio…
How Heavy Can Moduli Be?
Mehrdad Mirbabayi, Giovanni Villadoro
In Kaluza-Klein (KK) compactification of gravitational theories, moduli fields, which are scalar fields associated to the deformations of the compact manifold, are typically lighte…
An infrared bound on the ultraviolet bounce
Mehrdad Mirbabayi, Giovanni Villadoro
Sometimes a local minimum is known to be a metastable vacuum inside the low-energy EFT, but the true vacuum lies outside, and the bounce solution mediating the decay cannot be foun…
Open String Axiverse
Rudin Petrossian-Byrne, Giovanni Villadoro
Localized charged fields are a general feature of many realistic string compactifications. In four dimensions they can lead to a multitude of perturbatively-exact global symmetries…
More Axion Stars from Strings
Marco Gorghetto, Edward Hardy, Giovanni Villadoro
We show that if dark matter consists of QCD axions in the post-inflationary scenario more than ten percent of it efficiently collapses into Bose stars at matter-radiation equality.…
