The Polymorphic Chiral Anomaly
Christopher Smith
The chiral anomaly famously manifests in a rich variety of forms, from abelian and singlet to consistent or covariant. In this paper, all these realizations are described in detail…

Dark higher-form fields and triangle anomalies
Cypris Plantier, Christopher Smith
Light scalar and vector particles admit non-trivial descriptions in terms of anti-symmetric higher-rank tensor fields. Far from mere rewritings, these provide compelling alternativ…

Dark higher-form portals and duality
Cypris Plantier, Christopher Smith
Light scalar or vector particles are among the most studied dark matter candidates. Yet, those are always described as scalar or vector fields. In this paper, we explore instead th…
