Dynamics of Simplest Chiral Gauge Theories
Dan Kondo, Hitoshi Murayama, Cameron Sylber
Arguably, the simplest chiral gauge theories are with fermion fields in the spinor representation {\bf 16}. We study their dynamics using their supersymmetr…
Near-SUSY to Non-SUSY Crossover
Dan Kondo, Hitoshi Murayama, Bea Noether
Gauge theories can be solved exactly slightly away from the supersymmetric (SUSY) limit softly broken by anomaly mediation when the size of SUSY breaking is much smaller than the d…
Multiple Axions Save High-Scale Inflation
Dan Kondo, Hitoshi Murayama
Many models of dark matter QCD axion requires inflation at a scale ~GeV and hence does not allow for a detectable tensor mode fluctuation. This is b…
Axion dark matter detection via shift current
Dan Kondo, Takahiro Morimoto, Genta Osaki +1
We propose a novel method to detect axion dark matter based on a topological phenomenon known as the shift current. We make use of the second-order nonlinearity of the shift curren…
Phase transition on superfluid vortices in Higgs-Confinement crossover
Tomoya Hayata, Yoshimasa Hidaka, Dan Kondo
We propose a novel method to distinguish states of matter by identifying spontaneous symmetry breaking on extended objects, such as vortices, even in the absence of a bulk phase tr…
LHC EFT WG Note: Basis for Anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings
Gauthier Durieux, Grant N. Remmen, Nicholas L. Rodd +5
In this note, we give a definitive basis for the dimension-eight operators leading to quartic -- but no cubic -- interactions among electroweak gauge bosons. These are often called…
