Emergent Lorentz invariance with chiral fermions

Sergey Sibiryakov

We study the renormalization group flow in strongly interacting field theories in the fermion sector corresponding to the transition from theories without a Lorentz invariance at high energies to theories with an approximate Lorentz invariance in the infra ...

Renormalization of Horava gravity

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mario Herrero Valea

We prove perturbative renormalizability of projectable Horava gravity. The key element of the argument is the choice of a gauge which ensures the correct anisotropic scaling of the propagators and their uniform falloff at large frequencies and momenta. Thi ...

Expansivity and Roquette groups

Alex Monnard

We prove the non-existence of expansive subgroups with trivial global core in different families of Roquette groups. This study is motivated by the importance of expansive subgroups in the theory of stabilizing bisets highlighted in [4]. ...

The local Callan-Symanzik equation: structure and applications

Riccardo Rattazzi, Boaz Keren Zur, Lorenzo Vitale, Florent Baume

The local Callan-Symanzik equation describes the response of a quantum field theory to local scale transformations in the presence of background sources. The consistency conditions associated with this anomalous equation imply non-trivial relations among t ...

Controlled stripes of ultrafine ferroelectric domains

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Igor Stolichnov, Tomas Sluka, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Petr Yudin, Ludwig Feigl, Xiankui Wei, Mahamudu Mtebwa, Konstantin Shapovalov

In the pursuit of ferroic-based (nano) electronics, it is essential to minutely control domain patterns and domain switching. The ability to control domain width, orientation and position is a prerequisite for circuitry based on fine domains. Here, we deve ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An effective field theory approach

Georgios Karananas, Javier Rubio

The Higgs-dilaton cosmological model is able to describe simultaneously an inflationary expansion in the early Universe and a dark energy dominated stage responsible for the present day acceleration. It also leads to a nontrivial relation between the spect ...

Supersymmetric sound in fluids

Boaz Keren Zur

We consider the hydrodynamics of supersymmetric fluids. Supersymmetry is broken spontaneously and the low energy spectrum includes a fermionic massless mode, the phonino. We use two complementary approaches to describe the system: First, we construct a gen ...

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 ...

Scale-Invariant Models of Gravity and Particle Physics and their Cosmological Implications

Daniel Zenhäusern

Currently, the best theoretical description of fundamental matter and its gravitational interaction is given by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and Einstein's theory of General Relativity (GR). These theories contain a number of seemingly unrel ...

Higgs inflation: consistency and generalisations

Sergey Sibiryakov, Amaury Magnin

We analyse the self-consistency of inflation in the Standard Model, where the Higgs field has a large non-minimal coupling to gravity. We determine the domain of energies in which this model represents a valid effective field theory as a function of the ba ...
