Large-Field Vacuum Decay in General Multi-Scalar Theories
Giorgio Busoni, Florian Goertz, Navneet Krishnan +1
Many theories beyond the standard model exhibit multiple scalar particles. Such multi-scalar theories can in principle host lower-energy vacua, and thus predict that our universe h…

The quantum criticality of the Standard Model and the hierarchy problem
Juan P. Garcés, Florian Goertz, Manfred Lindner +1
The naturalness principle has long guided efforts to understand physics beyond the Standard Model, with the hierarchy problem as the central issue. We revisit the role of quantum c…

Gauge-Fermion Cartography: from confinement and chiral symmetry breaking to conformality
Florian Goertz, Álvaro Pastor-Gutiérrez, Jan M. Pawlowski
We study, for the first time, the interplay between colour-confining and chiral symmetry-breaking dynamics in gauge-fermion systems with a general number of flavours and colours. S…
