Charting the different phases of Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons-Higgs theories
Daniel O. R. Azevedo, Gustavo P. de Brito, Philipe De Fabritiis +1
We explore Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories coupled to a Higgs-like field in the fundamental representation of quantized in linear covariant gauges in three Euclidean dimen…
Infrared gluon propagator in the Refined Gribov-Zwanziger scenario at one-loop order in the Landau gauge
Gustavo P. de Brito, Antonio D. Pereira
The Refined Gribov-Zwanziger (RGZ) action in the Landau gauge provides a local and renormalizable framework to account for the existence of infinitesimal Gribov copies in the path…
Ruling out models of vector dark matter in asymptotically safe quantum gravity
Gustavo P. de Brito, Astrid Eichhorn, Mads T. Frandsen +3
The nature of dark matter is a problem with too many potential solutions. We investigate whether a consistent embedding into quantum gravity can decimate the number of solutions to…
Quadratic gravity in analogy to quantum chromodynamics: Light fermions in its landscape
Gustavo P. de Brito
We investigate a non-perturbative approach to quantum gravity built in terms of analogies between quadratic gravity and quantum chromodynamics. This approach is based on a conjectu…
