Conformal versus non-conformal two-Higgs-doublet model: phase transitions and gravitational waves
Nico Benincasa, Ji-Wei Li, Hanxiao Pu +4
In this work we investigate the CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) in two realizations: a classically conformal setup (C2HDM) and a non-conformal setup with explicit tree…
Existence of Vacuum Wormholes in Einsteinian Cubic Gravity
Mengqi Lu, Jiayue Yang, Robert B. Mann
Wormhole solutions in gravitational theories typically require exotic matter. Here we present a wormhole solution to the field equations of Einsteinian Cubic Gravity -- a phenomeno…
Gravitational Wormholes
Mengqi Lu, Jiayue Yang, Robert B. Mann
Spacetime wormholes are evidently an essential component of the construction of a time machine. Within the context of general relativity, such objects require, for their formation,…
Lagrangian partition functions subject to a fixed spatial volume constraint in the Lovelock theory
Mengqi Lu, Robert B. Mann
We evaluate the quantum gravity partition function that counts the dimension of the Hilbert space of a simply connected spatial region of fixed proper volume in the context of Love…
Exploring Accelerating Hairy Black Holes in Dimensions: The Asymptotically Locally Anti-de Sitter Class and its Holography
Adolfo Cisterna, Felipe Diaz, Robert B. Mann +1
In the realm of lower-dimensional accelerating spacetimes, it is well-established that the presence of domain walls, which are co-dimension one topological defects, is a necessary…
Detection prospects for conformally constrained vector-portal dark matter
Frederick S. Sage, Zhi-Wei Wang, Rainer Dick +2
We work with a UV conformal U(1)' extension of the Standard Model, motivated by the hierarchy problem and recent collider anomalies. This model admits fermionic vector portal WIMP…
Black Holes in (Quartic) Quasitopological Gravity
M. H. Dehghani, A. Bazrafshan, R. B. Mann +3
We construct quartic quasitopological gravity, a theory of gravity containing terms quartic in the curvature that yields second order differential equations in the spherically symm…
Thermodynamics of -dimensional NUT-charged AdS Spacetimes
R. Clarkson, L. Fatibene, R. B. Mann
We consider the thermodynamic properties of -dimensional spacetimes with NUT charges. Such spacetimes are asymptotically locally anti de Sitter (or flat), with non-trivial t…
