Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Shota Saito, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: We study if and when mod-2 anomalies can be canceled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism with the introduction of an antisymmetric tensor field $B_{munu}$. As explicit examples, we examine $SU(2)$ and more general $Sp(n)$ gauge theories in four and eight […]

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Kaloian D. Lozanov, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: We consider a scalar field theory with a Minkowski false vacuum and an unbounded (or very deep) true vacuum. We show compelling evidence that an AdS bubble of vanishing total energy, embedded in asymptotically flat spacetime, generically undergoes […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Chengqi Dong, Zhiyuan Cao, S Kevin Zhou, Jia Liu, | Summary: Stock price prediction is of significant importance in quantitative investment. Existing approaches encounter two primary issues: First, they often overlook the crucial role of capturing short-term stock fluctuations for predicting high-volatility returns. Second, mainstream methods, relying […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe, , | Summary: This paper explores nucleon decay within the framework of a "fake Grand Unified Theory (GUT)" combined with the Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism. In this fake GUT framework, quarks and leptons may have distinct high-energy origins but fit into complete […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jia Liu, Yi Fei Niu, Wen Hui Long, , | Summary: The configuration interaction relativistic Hartree-Fock (CI-RHF) model is developed in this work. Compared to the conventional configuration interaction shell model calculations, the CI-RHF model can be applied to study the structural properties of a wide range […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Justin Kaidi, Yuji Tachikawa, Kazuya Yonekura, , | Summary: A uniform construction of non-supersymmetric 0-, 4-, 6- and 7-branes in heterotic string theory was announced and outlined in our letter cite{Kaidi:2023tqo}. In this full paper, we provide details on their properties. Among other things, we discuss the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Gauthier Durieux, Grant N. Remmen, Nicholas L. Rodd, O. J. P. Éboli, M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia | Summary: In this note, we give a definitive basis for the dimension-eight operators leading to quartic — but no cubic — interactions among electroweak gauge bosons. These are often called anomalous […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Norikazu Yamada, Masahito Yamazaki, Ryuichiro Kitano, , | Summary: We determine the $theta$ dependence of the confinement-deconfinement transition temperature $T_c$ for the 4d SU(2) pure Yang-Mills theory. We perform lattice numerical simulations on three spatial sizes $N_S=24$, $32$, $48$ with a fixed temporal size $N_T=8$. We introduce […]
