Physical remnant of electroweak theta angles

James Brister, Bingwei Long, Longjie Ran +3

In addition to the well-known quantum chromodynamical theta angle, we show that the Standard Model has another theta angle which is invariant under arbitrary chiral rotations of qu…

Non-Abelian R-symmetries in supersymmetry

James Brister, Longjie Ran, Zheng Sun

We investigate non-Abelian R-symmetries in supersymmetric theory, where fields may transform under the R-symmetry in representations with dimension higher than one.…

A brute-force search for R-symmetric Wess-Zumino models

James Brister, Shihao Kou, Zhengyi Li +2

This work makes an exhaustive search for generic renormalizable R-symmetric Wess-Zumino models with up to 5 chiral fields, and checks the consistency of their vacuum solutions with…

Novel counterexample to the Nelson-Seiberg theorem

James Brister, Zheng Sun

We present a new type of counterexample to the Nelson-Seiberg theorem. It is a generic R-symmetric Wess-Zumino model with nine chiral superfields, including one field of R-charge 2…

A formal notion of genericity and term-by-term vanishing superpotentials at supersymmetric vacua from R-symmetric Wess-Zumino models

James Brister, Zheng Sun, Greg Yang

It is known in previous literature that if a Wess-Zumino model with an R-symmetry gives a supersymmetric vacuum, the superpotential vanishes at the vacuum. In this work, we establi…

Perturbative calculation of field space entanglement entropy

James Brister

We present a general method for the perturbative calculation of the entanglement entropy between two interacting quantum fields. Previous attempts at calculating this quantity pert…
