On the Complexity of Effective Theories -- Seiberg-Witten theory
Martin Carrascal, Ferdy Ellen, Thomas W. Grimm +1
Motivated by the idea that consistent quantum field theories should admit a finite description, we investigate the complexity of effective field theories using the framework of eff…
Axion-Scalar Systems and Dynamical Distances
Thomas W. Grimm, Damian van de Heisteeg, Filippo Revello
We study the cosmology of axion-scalar pairs, coupled by a hyperbolic field-space metric and with a string-motivated rational scalar potential. Borrowing tools from the theory of d…
Tame Embeddings, Volume Growth, and Complexity of Moduli Spaces
Thomas W. Grimm, David Prieto, Mick van Vliet
Quantum gravity is expected to impose constraints on the moduli spaces of massless fields that can arise in effective quantum field theories. A recent proposal asserts that the asy…
A Reduction Algorithm for Cosmological Correlators: Cuts, Contractions, and Complexity
Thomas W. Grimm, Arno Hoefnagels, Mick van Vliet
Cosmological correlators are fundamental observables in an expanding universe and are highly non-trivial functions even at tree-level. In this work, we uncover novel structures in…
