Accidental SUSY: Enhanced Bulk Supersymmetry from Brane Back-reaction

C. P. Burgess, L. van Nierop, S. Parameswaran +2

We compute how bulk loops renormalize both bulk and brane effective interactions for codimension-two branes in 6D gauged chiral supergravity, as functions of the brane tension and…

Inflating in a Trough: Single-Field Effective Theory from Multiple-Field Curved Valleys

C. P. Burgess, M. W. Horbatsch, Subodh P. Patil

We examine the motion of light fields near the bottom of a potential valley in a multi-dimensional field space. In the case of two fields we identify three general scales, all of w…

Modulated Reheating and Large Non-Gaussianity in String Cosmology

M. Cicoli, G. Tasinato, I. Zavala +2

A generic feature of the known string inflationary models is that the same physics that makes the inflaton lighter than the Hubble scale during inflation often also makes other sca…

Cosmic Black-Hole Hair Growth and Quasar OJ287

M. W. Horbatsch, C. P. Burgess

An old result ({\tt astro-ph/9905303}) by Jacobson implies that a black hole with Schwarzschild radius acquires scalar hair, , when the (canonically normal…

Model-Independent Comparisons of Pulsar Timings to Scalar-Tensor Gravity

M. W. Horbatsch, C. P. Burgess

Observations of pulsar timing provide strong constraints on scalar-tensor theories of gravity, but these constraints are traditionally quoted as limits on the microscopic parameter…

Semi-Analytic Stellar Structure in Scalar-Tensor Gravity

M. W. Horbatsch, C. P. Burgess

Precision tests of gravity can be used to constrain the properties of hypothetical very light scalar fields, but these tests depend crucially on how macroscopic astrophysical objec…
