Holographic phase transitions via thermally-assisted tunneling

Tony Gherghetta, Arpon Paul, Andrey Shkerin

We construct the thermal bounce solution in holographic models that describes first-order phase transitions between the deconfined and confined phases in strongly-coupled gauge the…

A Common Origin for the QCD Axion and Sterile Neutrinos from Strong Dynamics

Peter Cox, Tony Gherghetta, Arpon Paul

We identify the QCD axion and right-handed (sterile) neutrinos as bound states of an chiral gauge theory with Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry arising as a global symmetry of the…
