Confinement on and Double-String Collapse
Mathew W. Bub, Erich Poppitz, Samuel S. Y. Wong
We study confining strings in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the semiclassical regime on . Static quarks are expe…
Existence and Instability of Novel Hairy Black Holes in Shift-symmetric Horndeski Theories
Justin Khoury, Mark Trodden, Sam S. C. Wong
Shift-symmetric Horndeski theories admit an interesting class of Schwarzschild black hole solutions exhibiting time-dependent scalar hair. By making use of Lemaître coordinates, we…
Domain walls and deconfinement: a semiclassical picture of discrete anomaly inflow
Andrew A. Cox, Erich Poppitz, Samuel S. Y. Wong
We study the physics of quark deconfinement on domain walls in four-dimensional supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, compactified on a small circle with supersymmetric boundary…
Black Hole Hair from Scalar Dark Matter
Lam Hui, Daniel Kabat, Xinyu Li +2
We show that a black hole surrounded by scalar dark matter develops scalar hair. This is the generalization of a phenomenon pointed out by Jacobson, that a minimally coupled scalar…
Inflationary soft theorems revisited: A generalized consistency relation
Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Sam S. C. Wong
We reconsider the derivation of soft theorems associated with nonlinearly-realized symmetries in cosmology. Utilizing the path integral, we derive a generalized consistency relatio…
Baryon Number Violating Scatterings in Laboratories
S. -H. Henry Tye, Sam S. C. Wong
Earlier estimates have argued that the baryon number violating scattering cross-section in the laboratory is exponentially small so it will never be observed, even for incoming 2-p…
