Features of Spacetime-Symmetry Breaking and the Standard-Model Extension in Riemann-Cartan Geometry

This paper presents a selective overview of theoretical refinements in the gravity sector of the Standard-Model Extension within Riemann-Cartan geometry, focusing on the distinctions and consistency issues between spontaneous and explicit spacetime symmetry breaking to develop a modified framework for investigating explicit breaking and exploring geometries beyond Riemann-Cartan.

Topological observables and domain wall tension from finite temperature chiral perturbation theory

This paper employs SU(2) chiral perturbation theory with isospin-breaking effects to derive the QCD θ\theta-vacuum solution and compute the temperature dependence of topological observables and domain wall tension up to next-to-leading order, revealing distinct monotonic behaviors for different cumulants and providing crucial theoretical insights for axion physics in hot QCD matter.

e+essˉe^+e^- \rightarrow s\bar{s} at s=250\sqrt{s} = 250 GeV at future linear colliders

This paper demonstrates that precise measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry in e+essˉe^+e^- \rightarrow s\bar{s} events at s=250\sqrt{s}=250 GeV are feasible at future linear colliders using full ILD simulations, provided that advanced particle identification techniques like Comprehensive PID and cluster counting are employed to optimize charge reconstruction and maximize sensitivity to electroweak and new-physics effects.

Dyonic hairy black holes in U(1)U(1) gauge-invariant scalar-vector-tensor theories: Cubic and quartic interactions

The authors construct and classify asymptotically flat dyonic hairy black hole solutions in U(1) gauge-invariant scalar-vector-tensor theories with cubic and quartic interactions, demonstrating that magnetic charge activates specific interaction sectors to generate new solution branches and requires consistency conditions to ensure the field equations remain second-order.
