Lazarides-Shafi axion models as Dijkgraaf-Witten theories
Motoo Suzuki, Ryo Yokokura
Axion models often face the domain wall problem, which threatens the standard big-bang cosmology. The Lazarides-Shafi mechanism attempts to resolve this by identifying degenerate v…

Exact WKB Formulation of Quantization and Particle Production in Time-Dependent Backgrounds
Ryo Namba, Motoo Suzuki
Divergence in perturbative expansions is where interesting physics takes place. Particle production on time-dependent backgrounds, as one such example, is interpreted as transition…

Monopole Breaking of Chern-Weil Symmetries
Eduardo GarcÃa-Valdecasas, Matthew Reece, Motoo Suzuki
Gauge theories in dimensions with a nontrivial fundamental group admit a -form magnetic symmetry and a -form instantonic symmetry. These are examples of Chern-Wei…
