Ultraviolet completion without symmetry restoration

Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We show that it is not possible to UV complete certain low-energy effective theories with spontaneously broken spacetime symmetries by embedding them into linear sigma models, that is, by adding "radial" modes and restoring the broken symmetries. When such ...

Non-Abelian Gauge Fields in Photonic Cavities and Photonic Superfluids

Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We show that the TE-TM modes splitting and the structure anisotropy of a semiconductor microcavity combine into a non-Abelian gauge field for exciton-polaritons or cavity photons. The field texture can be tuned simply by rotating the sample and ranges cont ...

Algebraic Nahm transform for parabolic Higgs bundles on P^1

Szilárd Szabó

We formulate the Nahm transform in the context of parabolic Higgs bundles on P^1 and extend its scope in completely algebraic terms. This transform requires parabolic Higgs bundles to satisfy an admissibility condition and allows Higgs fields to have poles ...

Metastable spontaneous breaking of N=2 supersymmetry

Claudio Scrucca, Paul Smyth, Benoît Légeret

We show that contrary to the common lore it is possible to spontaneously break N = 2 supersymmetry even in simple theories without constant Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. We consider the most general N = 2 supersymmetric theory with one hypermultiplet and one vec ...

On the moduli space of spontaneously broken N=8 supergravity

We analyze the moduli space of spontaneously broken N = 8 supergravity theories in 4 dimensions with classical Minkowski vacua. We find that all the known classical vacua, as well as the several new ones we construct here, can be connected by sending some ...

Representations of Super Yang-Mills Algebras

We study in this article the representation theory of a family of super algebras, called the super Yang-Mills algebras, by exploiting the Kirillov orbit method à la Dixmier for nilpotent super Lie algebras. These super algebras are an extension of the so-c ...

Supersymmetric vacua in N=2 supergravity

Paul Smyth

We use the embedding tensor formalism to analyse maximally symmetric backgrounds of N = 2 gauged supergravities which have the full N = 2 supersymmetry. We state the condition for N = 2 vacua and discuss some of their general properties. We show that if th ...

Metastable de Sitter vacua in N=2 to N=1 truncated supergravity

Claudio Scrucca, Paul Smyth, Francesca Catino

We study the possibility of achieving metastable de Sitter vacua in general N=2 to N=1 truncated supergravities without vector multiplets, and compare with the situations arising in N=2 theories with only hypermultiplets and N=1 theories with only chiral m ...

Design-dependent gauge factors of highly doped n-type 4H-SiC piezoresistors

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Terunobu Akiyama

This paper presents the experimentally obtained gauge factor (GF) of 4H-SiC piezoresistors, fabricated out of the n-type epitaxial layer and characterized on millimeter-size SiC cantilever beams at room temperature. It was found that the GF is dependent on ...

Vacuum Stability in Supersymmetric Effective Theories

Leonardo Brizi

The main topics discussed in this thesis are supersymmetric low-energy effective theories and metastability conditions in generic non-renormalizable models with global and local supersymmetry. In the first part we discuss the conditions under which the low ...
