Lazarides-Shafi axion models as Dijkgraaf-Witten theories
Motoo Suzuki, Ryo Yokokura
Axion models often face the domain wall problem, which threatens the standard big-bang cosmology. The Lazarides-Shafi mechanism attempts to resolve this by identifying degenerate v…
Exact WKB Formulation of Quantization and Particle Production in Time-Dependent Backgrounds
Ryo Namba, Motoo Suzuki
Divergence in perturbative expansions is where interesting physics takes place. Particle production on time-dependent backgrounds, as one such example, is interpreted as transition…
Monopole Breaking of Chern-Weil Symmetries
Eduardo García-Valdecasas, Matthew Reece, Motoo Suzuki
Gauge theories in dimensions with a nontrivial fundamental group admit a -form magnetic symmetry and a -form instantonic symmetry. These are examples of Chern-Wei…
Spontaneously Broken -Form U(1) Symmetries
Daniel Aloni, Eduardo García-Valdecasas, Matthew Reece +1
Spontaneous breaking of symmetries leads to universal phenomena. We extend this notion to -form U(1) symmetries. The spontaneous breaking is diagnosed by a dependence of the…
