Irreducible Graviton Floor from Reheating
James M. Cline, Yong Xu
Inflaton decay inevitably emits gravitons through bremsstrahlung during reheating. We show that the soft part of this emission amplitude, fixed by Weinberg's soft-graviton theorem,…
Pathologies of dimension-zero scalar fields
James M. Cline, Anamaria Hell
It has been claimed in a series of papers that scalar fields with a fourth-order Lagrangian can solve the cosmological constant problem by canceling the loop contri…
Axion strings from string axions
James M. Cline, Christos Litos, Wei Xue
A favored scenario for axions to be dark matter is for them to form a cosmic string network that subsequently decays, allowing for a tight link between the axion mass and relic abu…
String Cosmology
James M. Cline
A pedagogical introduction to aspects of string cosmology, including the landscape (BPBT) solution to the cosmological constant problem, brane-antibrane inflation, warped compactif…
Is Induced QCD really QCD? The preservation of asymptotic freedom by matter interactions
J. M. Cline, S. Paban
The program of induced QCD requires that there exist self-interactions among the heavy matter fields (an adjoint scalar and a few fermions in the fundamental representation) which…
