Resurgence of the Thermal Transition between Bounce and Sphaleron
Shaun D. Hampton, Kyungsun Lee, Sungjay Lee
We study the thermal transition between the bounce and the sphaleron in quantum mechanics with a metastable vacuum from the viewpoint of Borel resurgence. For two models representi…

Four-twist effects on excitations in symmetric orbifold CFTs
Bin Guo, Shaun D. Hampton
Symmetric orbifold CFTs contain twist operators that can join and split copies of the CFT. In this paper, we study the effects of four twist-2 operators on two copies of a single f…

Four-twist effects and monodromy in symmetric orbifold CFTs
Bin Guo, Shaun D. Hampton
Symmetric orbifold CFTs contain twist operators that can join and split copies of the CFT, leading to the creation of pairs from the vacuum. In this paper, we study the pair creati…
