Clockwork Inflation
Alex Kehagias, Antonio Riotto
We investigate the recently proposed clockwork mechanism delivering light degrees of freedom with suppressed interactions and show, with various examples, that it can be efficientl…
Non-Gaussianities due to Relativistic Corrections to the Observed Galaxy Bispectrum
E. Di Dio, H. Perrier, R. Durrer +4
High-precision constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) will significantly improve our understanding of the physics of the early universe. Among all the subtleties in using…
Gauge-Independent Scales Related to the Standard Model Vacuum Instability
Jose R. Espinosa, Mathias Garny, Thomas Konstandin +1
The measured (central) values of the Higgs and top quark masses indicate that the Standard Model (SM) effective potential develops an instability at high field values. The scale of…
Baryogenesis and Gravitational Waves from Runaway Bubble Collisions
Andrey Katz, Antonio Riotto
We propose a novel mechanism for production of baryonic asymmetry in the early Universe. The mechanism takes advantage of the strong first order phase transition that produces runa…
Scanning of the Supersymmetry Breaking Scale and the Gravitino Mass in Supergravity
Fotis Farakos, Alex Kehagias, Davide Racco +1
We consider the minimal three-form supergravity coupled to nilpotent three-form chiral superfields. The supersymmetry breaking is sourced by the three-forms of the chi…
Topologically Twisted SUSY Gauge Theory, Gauge-Bethe Correspondence and Quantum Cohomology
Hee-Joong Chung, Yutaka Yoshida
We calculate partition function and correlation functions in A-twisted 2d theories and topologically twisted 3d theories containing adjoint chir…
