Non-Abelian vortices in gauge theory and non-invertible symmetries

Yoshihiko Abe, Tetsutaro Higaki, Kazuya Murakami +2

We construct finite-tension non-Abelian vortex solutions in a renormalizable -dimensional gauge theory Higgsed to the tetrahedral group by a Higgs field in the…

Finite modular Coleman-Weinberg inflation

Yoshihiko Abe, Komei Goto, Tetsutaro Higaki +2

We propose a modular symmetric inflationary model based on a Coleman--Weinberg potential generated by integrating out heavy vector-like quarks that couple to the complex modulus fi…

Black hole thermodynamics and KK photon quantum corrections in 2D effective dilaton gravity

Yoshihiko Abe, Tetsutaro Higaki, Yu Miyauchi

We study black hole thermodynamics using a two-dimensional effective theory obtained by dimensional reduction of four-dimensional Einstein--Maxwell theory. For spherically symmetri…

Large and small hierarchies from finite modular symmetries

Tetsutaro Higaki, Junichiro Kawamura, Tatsuo Kobayashi +2

We study the moduli stabilization by the radiative corrections due to the moduli dependent vector-like masses invariant under the finite modular symmetry. The radiative stabilizati…

Spontaneous CP violation and partially broken modular flavor symmetries

Tetsutaro Higaki, Tatsuo Kobayashi, Kaito Nasu +1

We study the realization of spontaneous CP violation through moduli stabilization. In modular flavor models, the source of CP violation is the vacuum expectation values of the comp…

Finite modular axion and radiative moduli stabilization

Tetsutaro Higaki, Junichiro Kawamura, Tatsuo Kobayashi

We propose a simple setup which can stabilize a modulus field of the finite modular symmetry by the Coleman-Weinberg potential. Our scenario leads to a large hierarchy suppressing…
