Analytical approach to nonperturbative Yang-Mills thermodynamics
Ralf Hofmann
An analytical and inductive approach to hot SU(N) Yang-Mills dynamics is developed. For N=2,3 pressure and energy density are pointwise compared with lattice data.
Spontaneously broken, local Z symmetry and the anatomy of a lepton
Ralf Hofmann
In the framework of the gauge symmetry we provide a microscopic argument why a spontan…
Large Mass and Chemical Potential Model: A Laboratory for QCD?
Ralf Hofmann, Ion-Olimpiu Stamatescu
We use a model based on the hopping parameter expansion to study QCD at large . We find interesting behavior in the region expected to show flavor-color locking.
Supersymmetric Models For Gauge Inflation
R. Hofmann, F. Paccetti Correia, M. G. Schmidt +1
We present possible realizations of gauge inflation arising from a 5D supersymmetric U(1) model, where the extra dimension is compactified on a circle. A one-loop infl…
Thermodynamic gauge-theory cascade
Ralf Hofmann
It is proposed that the cooling of a thermalized SU() gauge theory can be formulated in terms of a cascade involving three effective theories with successively reduced (and spon…
Conformal matter in warped backgrounds
Ralf Hofmann, Maxim Pospelov
Warped backgrounds in five dimensional models can provide solutions to various hierarchy problems in particle physics if the standard model matter is associated with the zero modes…
