Deconfinement on and Axion Domain Walls
Paolo Bilisco, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo, Arthur Platschorre +1
We investigate the nontrivial dynamics on domain walls and compute their tension in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) compactified on a circle with colors and $F <…
Higher Axion Strings
Vazha Loladze, Arthur Platschorre, Mario Reig
We study the minimal requirements to obtain axion strings for axions with exponentially good quality. These ingredients appear in theories where an axion coming from a higher-form…
A mass for the dual axion
Arthur Platschorre
In this article we study a modification of axion physics in which the dual axion acquires a mass. This mass explicitly breaks the shift symmetry of the dual axion. The potential br…
The Monodromic Axion-Photon Coupling
Prateek Agrawal, Arthur Platschorre
We consider the general form of the axion coupling to photons in the axion-Maxwell theory. On general grounds this coupling takes the form of a monodromic function of the axion, wh…
Electroweak mass difference of mesons
Antonio Pich, Arthur Platschorre, Mario Reig
We consider electroweak (EW) gauge boson corrections to the masses of pseudoscalar mesons to next to leading order (NLO) in and . The pion mass shift induced by the $Z…
