Electromagnetic Duality and the Electric Memory Effect
Yuta Hamada, Min-Seok Seo, Gary Shiu
We study large gauge transformations for soft photons in quantum electrodynamics which, together with the helicity operator, form an ISO(2) algebra. We show that the two non-compac…
Gravitational Decoupling and Picard-Lefschetz
Jon Brown, Alex Cole, William Cottrell +1
In this work, we consider tunneling between non-metastable states in gravitational theories. Such processes arise in various contexts, e.g., in inflationary scenarios where the inf…
Weak Gravity Conjecture, Multiple Point Principle and the Standard Model Landscape
Yuta Hamada, Gary Shiu
The requirement for an ultraviolet completable theory to be well-behaved upon compactification has been suggested as a guiding principle for distinguishing the landscape from the s…
Large gauge transformation and little group for soft photons
Yuta Hamada, Min-Seok Seo, Gary Shiu
Recently, large gauge transformation (LGT), the residual gauge symmetry after gauge fixing that survives at null infinity, has drawn much attention concerning soft theorems and the…
Flux Flattening in Axion Monodromy Inflation
Aitor Landete, Fernando Marchesano, Gary Shiu +1
String theory models of axion monodromy inflation exhibit scalar potentials which are quadratic for small values of the inflaton field and evolve to a more complicated function for…
Memory in de Sitter space and BMS-like supertranslations
Yuta Hamada, Min-Seok Seo, Gary Shiu
It is well known that the memory effect in flat spacetime is parametrized by the BMS supertranslation. We investigate the relation between the memory effect and diffeomorphism in d…
