Holographic thermal propagator from modularity
Borut Bajc, Katarina TrailoviÄ
It is known that the holographic thermal propagator in 4 spacetime dimensions can be related to the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit of the -deformed supersymmetric $SU(…
Functional Determinants for False Vacuum Decay
Pietro Baratella, Miha Nemevšek, Yutaro Shoji +2
We derive simple expressions to regularise functional determinants from fluctuations of fields with spin 0, 1/2, and 1. These are important for the precise dimensionful determinati…
Revising the full one-loop gauge prefactor in electroweak vacuum stability
Pietro Baratella, Miha Nemevšek, Yutaro Shoji +2
We revisit the decay rate of the electroweak vacuum in the Standard Model with the full one-loop prefactor. We focus on the gauge degrees of freedom and derive the degeneracy facto…
Cosmic Strings from Tribrid Inflation
Stefan Antusch, Katarina TrailoviÄ
Tribrid inflation is a class of supersymmetric inflation models where the scalar component of a matter superfield, or a -flat direction of matter fields, drives inflation. Simil…
