Relativistic dynamics of moving mirrors in CFT: quantum backreaction and black holes
Piyush Kumar, Ignacio A. Reyes, Jakob Wintergerst
There is a well-known correspondence between the physics of black hole evaporation and that of moving mirrors in QFT. However, most analyses in this subject rely on prescribed mirr…
S and T for SCFTs
Jonathan J. Heckman, Piyush Kumar, Brian Wecht
We develop a general set of methods for computing the oblique electroweak parameters S and T for bottom-up and top-down motivated scenarios in which the Higgs weakly mixes with a s…
An M Theory Solution to the Strong CP Problem and Constraints on the Axiverse
Bobby Samir Acharya, Konstantin Bobkov, Piyush Kumar
We give an explicit realization of the "String Axiverse" discussed in Arvanitaki et. al \cite{Arvanitaki:2009fg} by extending our previous results on moduli stabilization in th…
Stabilizing All Kahler Moduli in Type IIB Orientifolds
Konstantin Bobkov, Volker Braun, Piyush Kumar +1
We describe a simple and robust mechanism that stabilizes all Kahler moduli in Type IIB orientifold compactifications. This is shown to be possible with just one non-perturbative c…
