The Cactus Criterion: When Nonlinear Hodge Theory Reduces to Linear on Graphs
Sebastian Pardo-Guerra, Anil Thapa, Jonathan Washburn
Let be a finite connected simple graph with a chosen orientation of its edges. For the edge potential we minimize over each affine…
Coherent Comparison as Information Cost: A Cost-First Ledger Framework for Discrete Dynamics
Sebastian Pardo-Guerra, Megan Simons, Anil Thapa +1
We develop an information-theoretic framework for discrete dynamics grounded in a comparison-cost functional on ratios. Given two quantities compared via their ratio \(x=a/b\), we…
Large Neutrino-Dark Matter Interactions: From Effective Field Theory to Ultraviolet Completions
K. S. Babu, P. S. Bhupal Dev, Anil Thapa
We develop a general effective field theory (EFT) framework for neutrino-dark matter (DM) interactions, and apply it to systematically find all possible gauge-invariant ultraviolet…
Decoupling Neutrino Magnetic Moment from Mass with Invariance
Julie Pagès, Anil Thapa
Standard Model extensions that yield observable neutrino magnetic moments typically also induce large neutrino masses, incompatible with experimental limits. This tension motivates…
Monophotons at Neutrino Experiments from Neutrino Polarizability
Julia Gehrlein, Ian M. Shoemaker, Anil Thapa
Nontrivial electromagnetic properties of neutrinos are an avenue to physics beyond the Standard Model. To this end, we investigate the power of monophoton signals at neutrino exper…
