This paper derives vorticity-induced effects on Nambu-Goldstone modes in chiral perturbation theory by treating vorticity as an axial-vector field within the Wess-Zumino-Witten framework, resulting in new contributions such as vorticity-induced currents, magnetic-field-induced angular momentum, and modified photon-pion couplings in the presence of electromagnetic fields and finite chemical potentials.
By computing the spacetime metric of a compact-object scattering system using perturbative QFT techniques, this paper demonstrates that nonlinear, long-range interactions cause a significantly stronger breakdown of Sachs's peeling property and asymptotic simplicity than previously recognized.
This paper demonstrates that the spectrum of the sector in Jordanian-deformed string theory remains integrable and solvable via the Baxter framework despite the breaking of highest-weight symmetry by a non-abelian Drinfel'd twist, yielding analytic results that match the deformed string spectrum at the one-loop level.
This paper demonstrates that environmental decoherence during inflation induces a "cosmic lockdown" via the quantum Zeno effect, which suppresses quantum tunneling and stabilizes false-vacuum occupation for light scalar fields by locking them into stochastically selected local minima.
This paper derives a bigravity model from noncommutative geometry that survives the commutative limit, featuring a gauge connection and two tetrads with ghost-free interaction terms, and analyzes its cosmological solutions which split into two distinct branches with unique curvature and constraint properties.
This paper investigates the resonant excitation of supermassive black hole modes by nearby stellar-mass binaries, revealing that the resulting energy flux peaks near but not exactly at the quasinormal-mode frequency, with the offset increasing with orbital distance and the response becoming more complex for rotating black holes.
This paper proposes an analytic approach to determine integrable boundary conditions in two-dimensional sigma-models by analyzing the divisor structure of the Lax connection, which is applied to open strings on with mixed flux to identify two distinct branches of integrable boundaries that generalize known conformal D-branes.
This paper proposes a generalization of quantum field theory based on Schrödinger's functional representation and Nambu's proper-time formulation, which introduces a fundamental minimal proper time to render the theory finite and asymptotically safe at high energies while recovering standard results at low energies.
This paper investigates the optical signatures of conformally invariant ModMax electrodynamics under uniform electromagnetic backgrounds, deriving refractive indices, phase shifts, and Goos-Hänchen effects to demonstrate how the model's nonlinearity parameter and field ratios govern complex Kerr rotation and ellipticity.
This paper proposes a quantum-gravitational framework based on Schwarzian theory and ensemble averaging to resolve the cosmological constant problem by deriving the observed dark energy density and equation of state from the ensemble average of time-reparametrization modes.
This paper utilizes boundary conformal field theory methods to demonstrate that pseudo entropy between distinct boundary states undergoes a phase transition dependent on the conformal weight of the boundary condition changing operators, a result that is confirmed to match holographic AdS calculations.
This paper establishes a universal relation between the energy-momentum tensor two-point function coefficient and the Weyl anomaly coefficient in generic even-dimensional conformal field theories, deriving the result through both holographic methods utilizing a Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula and a genuine CFT approach based on renormalization group running.
This paper investigates the perturbative renormalization and classical dynamics of the bumblebee model coupled to quadratic gravity, demonstrating that Lorentz symmetry violation induced by a vector field's vacuum expectation value modifies the theory's UV structure while still permitting exact Schwarzschild and de Sitter solutions.
This paper derives universal one-loop scaling relations in string theory connecting vacuum energy and gauge couplings to higher-derivative Wilson coefficients via worldsheet modular and conformal invariance, thereby strengthening the emergent string conjecture, linking UV/IR mixing to swampland principles, and supporting holographic bounds and the weak gravity conjecture.
This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of Kaluza-Klein towers in warped compactifications, demonstrating that while strong warping in codimension-one backgrounds can reduce the mass decay rate and potentially violate the Sharpened Distance Conjecture, the bound is preserved precisely when the higher-dimensional potential satisfies the Strong de Sitter condition, whereas higher-codimension cases remain unmodified.
This paper introduces a self-supervised, transformer-based approach that generates oracle trajectories by scrambling and unscrambling mathematical expressions to achieve near-perfect symbolic simplification in high-energy physics tasks, significantly outperforming prior reinforcement learning and regression methods.
This paper establishes rigorous integrability conditions for one-dimensional quantum systems to be classified as free or interacting fermions by defining free fermions through the simultaneous satisfaction of the Yang-Baxter equation and Shastry's decorated star-triangle relation, and provides a procedure to construct integrable interacting models, such as the Hubbard and XY models, via deformations of these free fermionic -matrices.
This paper investigates "holes" in the effective cones of Calabi-Yau threefolds—divisor classes that are theoretically effective yet lack global sections—by providing examples, establishing existence conditions, characterizing their semigroup structure within toric hypersurfaces, and deriving moduli-dependent volume bounds.
This paper analyzes the microcanonical phase diagram of the D1-D5 CFT dual to type II string theory on , mapping the transitions between uniform and localized black hole phases and identifying a novel lattice phase of black holes that dominates at high energies when the torus is significantly larger than the AdS radius.
This paper introduces deterministic unitary protocols that approximate imaginary-time evolution for ground-state preparation using multi-copy registers and controlled-SWAP operations, analyzing trade-offs between circuit depth and width in tree versus "hedge" architectures while demonstrating the potential of mid-circuit post-selection and platform-specific implementations.
