Lifting Klein-Gordon/Einstein Solutions to General Nonlinear Sigma-Models: the Wormhole Example
Philippe Brax, C. P. Burgess, F. Quevedo
We describe a simple technique for generating solutions to the classical field equations for an arbitrary nonlinear sigma-model minimally coupled to gravity. The technique promotes…
Perils of Towers in the Swamp: Dark Dimensions and the Robustness of Effective Field Theories
C. P. Burgess, F. Quevedo
Recently there has been an interesting revival of the idea to use large extra dimensions to address the dark energy problem, exploiting the (true) observation that towers of states…
Gravity, Horizons and Open EFTs
C. P. Burgess, Greg Kaplanek
Wilsonian effective theories exploit hierarchies of scale to simplify the description of low-energy behaviour and play as central a role for gravity as for the rest of physics. The…
UV and IR Effects in Axion Quality Control
C. P. Burgess, Gongjun Choi, F. Quevedo
Motivated by recent discussions and the absence of exact global symmetries in UV completions of gravity we re-examine the axion quality problem (and naturalness issues more general…
RG-Induced Modulus Stabilization: Perturbative de Sitter Vacua and Improved - Inflation
C. P. Burgess, F. Quevedo
We propose a new mechanism that adapts to string theory a perturbative method for stabilizing moduli without leaving the domain of perturbative control, thereby evading the `Dine-S…
Beyond SMEFT with
C. P. Burgess, Serge Hamoudou, Jacky Kumar +1
Electroweak interactions assign a central role to the gauge group , which is either realized linearly (SMEFT) or nonlinearly (e.g., HEFT) in the effective th…
