Cosmological Axion and Quark Nugget Dark Matter Model
Shuailiang Ge, Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We study a dark matter (DM) model offering a very natural explanation of two (naively unrelated) problems in cosmology: the observed relation and th…
Topological Inflation
Andrey O. Barvinsky, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
We discuss a novel scenario for early cosmology, when the inflationary quasi-de Sitter phase dynamically originates from the initial quantum state represented by the microcanonical…
Oblique Confinement at in weakly coupled gauge theories with deformations
Mohamed M. Anber, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
The main focus of this work is to test the ideas related to the oblique confinement in a theoretically controllable manner using the "deformed QCD" as a toy model. We explicitly sh…
Solar Extreme UV radiation and quark nugget dark matter model
Ariel Zhitnitsky
We advocate the idea that the surprising emission of extreme ultra violet (EUV) radiation and soft x-rays from the Sun are powered externally by incident dark matter (DM) particles…
Cosmological CP odd axion field as the coherent Berry's phase of the Universe
Shuailiang Ge, Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We consider a dark matter (DM) model offering a very natural explanation of the observed relation, . This generic consequence of the model is a r…
Axion detection via Topological Casimir Effect
ChunJun Cao, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We propose a new table-top experimental configuration for the direct detection of dark matter axions with mass in the range using non-perturbati…
