QFT without infinities and hierarchy problem

Sander Johannes Nicolaas Mooij, Mikhail Chapochnikov

The standard way to do computations in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) often results in the requirement of dramatic cancellations between contributions induced by a "heavy" sector into the physical observables of the "light" (or low energy) sector - the phenome ...

Anomalies from the covariant derivative expansion

Timothy Cohen

We revisit the calculation of chiral anomalies for global and gauge symmetries in the framework of the covariant derivative expansion (CDE). Due to the presence of UV divergences, the result is an ambiguous quantity that depends on the regularization proce ...

Scaling theory for the statistics of slip at frictional interfaces

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus

Slip at a frictional interface occurs via intermittent events. Understanding how these events are nucleated, can propagate, or stop spontaneously remains a challenge, central to earthquake science and tribology. In the absence of disorder, rate-and-state a ...

Ab Initio Electron-Phonon Interactions in Correlated Electron Systems

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Matteo Cococcioni, Andrea Floris

Electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions are pervasive in condensed matter, governing phenomena such as transport, superconductivity, charge-density waves, polarons, and metal-insulator transitions. First-principles approaches enable accurate calculations of e- ...

Flux Tube S-Matrix Bootstrap

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Andrea Guerrieri, Aditya Hebbar

We bootstrap the S matrix of massless particles in unitary, relativistic two dimensional quantum field theories. We find that the low energy expansion of such S matrices is strongly constrained by the existence of a UV completion. In the context of flux tu ...

Time-sliced perturbation theory with primordial non-Gaussianity and effects of large bulk flows on inflationary oscillating features

Mikhail Ivanov

We extend the formalism of time-sliced perturbation theory (TSPT) for cosmological large-scale structure to include non-Gaussian initial conditions. We show that in such a case the TSPT interaction vertices acquire new contributions whose time-dependence f ...

Non-perturbative probability distribution function for cosmological counts in cells

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a non-perturbative calculation of the 1-point probability distribution function (PDF) for the spherically-averaged matter density field. The PDF is represented as a path integral and is evaluated using the saddle-point method. It factorizes into ...

Naturalness and Neutral Naturalness in the LHC Era

Davide Greco

We present two different approaches to solve the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model and to provide a consistent dynamical mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking. As a first scenario, we follow the naturalness paradigm as realized in Composite Hig ...

Spectral properties of a symmetric three-dimensional quantum dot with a pair of identical attractive delta-impurities symmetrically situated around the origin

Fabio Rinaldi

In this presentation, we wish to provide an overview of the spectral features for the self-adjoint Hamiltonian of the three-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator perturbed by either a single attractive delta-interaction centered at the origin or by a p ...

Large field excursions and approximate discrete symmetries from a clockwork axion

Riccardo Rattazzi

We present a renormalizable theory of scalars in which the low-energy effective theory contains a pseudo-Goldstone boson with a compact field space of 2 pi F and an approximate discrete shift symmetry Z(Q) with Q >> 1, yet the number of fields in the theor ...
