WILD SOLUTIONS TO SCALAR EULER-LAGRANGE EQUATIONS

. We study very weak solutions to scalar Euler-Lagrange equations associated with quadratic convex functionals. We investigate whether W1,1 solutions are necessarily W 1,2 Nash and Schauder applicable. We answer this question positively for a suitable clas ...

Emergent order in hydrodynamic spin lattices

Alexis Marie Frederic Goujon, John Bush

Macroscale analogues(1-3) of microscopic spin systems offer direct insights into fundamental physical principles, thereby advancing our understanding of synchronization phenomena(4) and informing the design of novel classes of chiral metamaterials(5-7). He ...

Field-to-Transmission Line Coupling Models With Special Attention to the Cooray–Rubinstein Approximation

Marcos Rubinstein

There are three equivalent procedures to evaluate the voltages induced by lightning on power lines, namely, the Agrawal–Price–Gurbaxani model, the Taylor–Satterwhite–Harrison model, and the Rachidi model. The Cooray–Rubinstein approximation is a procedure ...

Quantum effects in Palatini Higgs inflation

Andrey Shkerin, Sebastian Zell

We study quantum effects in Higgs inflation in the Palatini formulation of gravity, in which the metric and connection are treated as independent variables. We exploit the fact that the cutoff, above which perturbation theory breaks down, is higher than th ...

Dilaton-assisted generation of the Fermi scale from the Planck scale

Andrey Shkerin

In scale-invariant theories of gravity the Planck mass M-p, which appears due to spontaneous symmetry breaking, can be the only scale at the classical level. It was argued that the second scale can be generated by a quantum nonperturbative gravitational ef ...

Probing Molecular Chirality by Orbital-Angular-Momentum-Carrying X-ray Pulses

A twisted X-ray beam with orbital angular momentum is employed in a theoretical study to probe molecular chirality. A nonlocal response description of the matter-field coupling is adopted to account for the field short wavelength and the structured spatial ...

Chiral charge dynamics in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio

We study fermion number non-conservation (or chirality breaking) in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature. We consider the presence of a chemical potential mu for the fermionic charge, and monitor its evolution with real-time classical lattice simul ...

Kinetic approach to the Schwinger effect during inflation

Oleksandr Sobol

Using the kinetic approach, we study the impact of the charged particle dynamics due to the Schwinger effect on the electric field evolution during inflation. As a simple model of the electric field generation, we consider the kinetic coupling of the elect ...

Gravity, scale invariance and the hierarchy problem

Andrey Shkerin

Combining the quantum scale invariance with the absence of new degrees of freedom above the electroweak scale leads to stability of the latter against perturbative quantum corrections. Nevertheless, the hierarchy between the weak and the Planck scales rema ...

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, ...
