Isospin-symmetry violation -- kaons and beyond (ISO-BREAK 25: summary and outlook)

Marek Gazdzicki, Francesco Giacosa, Katarzyna Grebieszkow +40

This report summarizes the presentations and discussions during the ISO-BREAK 25 Workshop ``Isospin symmetry violation: kaons and beyond'', which was held at Jan Kochanowski Univer…

Does hot QCD have a conformal manifold in the chiral limit?

Shi Chen, Aleksey Cherman, Robert D. Pisarski

Recent lattice evidence suggests the chiral phase transition in QCD is second-order for massless flavors. We constrain CFT descriptions of a critical line in temperatur…

Enhanced Neutrino Cooling from Parity-Doubled Nucleons in Neutron Star Cooling Simulations

Rodrigo Negreiros, Liam Brodie, Jan Steinheimer +2

Although restoration of chiral symmetry is predicted by quantum chromodynamics to take place at high baryon density, most modeling of neutron star interiors disregards a chiral pha…

Chiral anomaly: from vacuum to Columbia plot

Francesco Giacosa, Győző Kovács, Péter Kovács +2

We use a low-energy effective approach, the extended linear sigma model, to study realizations of the anomaly with different operators, linear and quadratic in the 't Hoof…

Parity-doubled nucleons can rapidly cool neutron stars

Liam Brodie, Robert D. Pisarski

In confined hadronic matter, the spontaneous breaking and restoration of chiral symmetry can be described by considering nucleons, , and excited states of opposite pari…

To break, or not to break: Symmetries in adaptive quantum simulations, a case study on the Schwinger model

Karunya Shailesh Shirali, Kyle Sherbert, Yanzhu Chen +4

We investigate the role of symmetries in constructing resource-efficient operator pools for adaptive variational quantum eigensolvers. In particular, we focus on the lattice Schwin…
