The Massless Spectrum of Heterotic Compactifications
Xenia de la Ossa, Edward Hardy, Eirik Eik Svanes
We discuss the four-dimensional massless spectrum of supersymmetric Minkowski compactifications of ten-dimensional heterotic supergravity, including the anomaly cancelation conditi…
The QCD axion, precisely
Giovanni Grilli di Cortona, Edward Hardy, Javier Pardo Vega +1
We show how several properties of the QCD axion can be extracted at high precision using only first principle QCD computations. By combining NLO results obtained in chiral perturba…
The Heterotic Superpotential and Moduli
Xenia de la Ossa, Edward Hardy, Eirik Eik Svanes
We study the four-dimensional effective theory arising from ten-dimensional heterotic supergravity compactified on manifolds with torsion. In particular, given the heterotic superp…
Electroweak relaxation from finite temperature
Edward Hardy
We study theories which naturally select a vacuum with parametrically small Electroweak Scale due to finite temperature effects in the early universe. In particular, there is a sca…
Signatures of Large Composite Dark Matter States
Edward Hardy, Robert Lasenby, John March-Russell +1
We investigate the interactions of large composite dark matter (DM) states with the Standard Model (SM) sector. Elastic scattering with SM nuclei can be coherently enhanced by fact…
