The effective Higgs potential and vacuum decay in Starobinsky inflation
Andreas Mantziris, Tommi Markkanen, Arttu Rajantie
Based on the current experimental data, the Standard Model predicts that the current vacuum state of the Universe is metastable, leading to a non-zero rate of vacuum decay through…
Metastable Supersymmetry Breaking in a Cooling Universe
Vadim S. Kaplunovsky
I put metastable supersymmetry breaking in a cosmological context. I argue that under reasonable assumptions, the cooling down early Universe favors metastable SUSY-breaking vacua…
Classical Renormalization of Codimension-two Brane Couplings
Claudia de Rham
The curvature on codimension-two and higher branes is not regular for arbitrary matter sources. Nevertheless, the low-energy theory for an observer on such a brane should be well-d…
Stringy Model of Cosmological Dark Energy
Irina Ya. Aref'eva
A string field theory(SFT) nonlocal model of the cosmological dark energy providing w<-1 is briefly surveyed. We summarize recent developments and open problems, as well as point o…
Quasi-exactly solvable quasinormal modes
Choon-Lin Ho, Hing-Tong Cho
We consider quasinormal modes with complex energies from the point of view of the theory of quasi-exactly solvable (QES) models. We demonstrate that it is possible to find new pote…
Short distance modifications to Newton's law in SUSY braneworld scenarios
Gonzalo A. Palma
In braneworld models coming from string theory one generally encounters massless scalar degrees of freedom -moduli- parameterizing the volume of small compact extra-dimensions. Her…
