A Near-Conformal Composite Higgs Model
Thomas Appelquist, James Ingoldby, Maurizio Piai
We analyze a composite Higgs model based on the confining gauge theory with Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. This gauge theory has been studied o…
A light dilaton in a metastable vacuum
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
We identify a parametrically light dilaton by studying the perturbations of metastable vacua along a branch of regular supergravity backgrounds that are dual to four-dimensional co…
Glueballs and Strings in Yang-Mills theories
Ed Bennett, Jack Holligan, Deog Ki Hong +5
Motivated in part by the pseudo-Nambu Goldstone Boson mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking in Composite Higgs Models, in part by dark matter scenarios with strongly coupled o…
Dilatonic states near holographic phase transitions
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
The spectrum of bound states of special strongly coupled confining field theories might include a parametrically light dilaton, associated with the formation of enhanced condensate…
Color dependence of tensor and scalar glueball masses in Yang-Mills theories
Ed Bennett, Jack Holligan, Deog Ki Hong +5
We report the masses of the lightest spin-0 and spin-2 glueballs obtained in an extensive lattice study of the continuum and infinite volume limits of gauge theories for…
Probing the holographic dilaton
Daniel Elander, Maurizio Piai, John Roughley
Many strongly coupled field theories admit a spectrum of gauge-invariant bound states that includes scalar particles with the same quantum numbers as the vacuum. The challenge natu…
