Standard model meets gravity: Electroweak symmetry breaking and inflation

We propose a model for combining the Standard Model (SM) with gravity. It relies on a nonminimal coupling of the Higgs field to the Ricci scalar and on the Palatini formulation of gravity. Without introducing any new degrees of freedom in addition to those ...

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Zheng Zheng, Andrei Variu, Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Yuting Wang, Amélie Tamone

We present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly alpha forests from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed of ...

Conformal 3-Point Functions and the Lorentzian OPE in Momentum Space

Marc Gillioz

In conformal field theory in Minkowski momentum space, the 3-point correlation functions of local operators are completely fixed by symmetry. Using Ward identities together with the existence of a Lorentzian operator product expansion (OPE), we show that t ...

Conformal symmetry: Towards the link between the Fermi and the Planck scales

Andrey Shkerin

If the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero, the classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model (SM) becomes conformally invariant (CI). Taking into account quantum non-perturbative QCD effects violating CI leads to electroweak symmetry breaking with the sca ...

Euclidean classical solutions in quantum field theory and gravity: Higgs vacuum metastability and the hierarchy problem

Andrey Shkerin

The thesis is dedicated to two groups of questions arising in modern particle physics and cosmology. The first group concerns with the problem of stability of the electroweak (EW) vacuum in different environments. Due to its phenomenological significance, ...

The connectivity at infinity of a manifold and Sobolev inequalities

Marc Troyanov

The purpose of this paper is to give a self-contained proof that a complete manifold with more than one end never supports an L-q,L-p-Sobolev inequality (2

Sharp estimates on the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian with negative Ricci lower bound

Daniele Valtorta

We complete the picture of sharp eigenvalue estimates for the -Laplacian on a compact manifold by providing sharp estimates on the first nonzero eigenvalue of the nonlinear operator when the Ricci curvature is bounded from below by a negative constant. We ...

Two-Level Discretization Techniques For Ground State Computations Of Bose-Einstein Condensates

Patrick Henning

This work presents a new methodology for computing ground states of Bose-Einstein condensates based on finite element discretizations on two different scales of numerical resolution. In a preprocessing step, a low-dimensional (coarse) generalized finite el ...

Spinning AdS propagators

We develop the embedding formalism to describe symmetric traceless tensors in Anti-de Sitter space. We use this formalism to construct the bulk-to-bulk propagator of massive spin J fields and check that it has the expected short distance and massless limit ...

Reconstruction of Large, Irregularly Sampled Multidimensional Images. A Tensor-Based Approach

Michaël Unser

Many practical applications require the reconstruction of images from irregularly sampled data. The spline formalism offers an attractive framework for solving this problem; the currently available methods, however, are hard to deploy for large-scale inter ...
