The Phases of Non-supersymmetric Gauge Theories: the $SO(N_c)$ Case Study

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Hitoshi Murayama, Ofri Telem, | Summary: We investigate the IR phases of non-supersymmetric (non-SUSY) $SO(N_c)$ gauge theories with $N_F$ fermions in the vector representation obtained by perturbing the SUSY theory with anomaly mediated SUSY breaking (AMSB). We find that of the wide variety […]

Simulations of systematic effects arising from cosmic rays in the LiteBIRD space telescope, and effects on the measurements of CMB $B$-modes

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Samantha Lynn Stever, Tommaso Ghigna, Mayu Tominaga, Giuseppe Puglisi, Masahiro Tsujimoto | Summary: Systematic effects arising from cosmic rays have been shown to be a significant threat to space telescopes using high-sensitivity bolometers. The LiteBIRD space mission aims to measure the polarised Cosmic Microwave Background with unprecedented […]

Probing Relativistic Axions from Transient Astrophysical Sources

Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny V. Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Joshua Eby, Satoshi Shirai, Yevgeny V. Stadnik, Volodymyr Takhistov, | Summary: Axions constituting dark matter (DM) are often considered to form a non-relativistic oscillating field. We explore bursts of relativistic axions from transient astrophysical sources, such as axion star explosions, where the sources are initially non-relativistic. […]

Probing Relativistic Axions from Transient Astrophysical Sources

Kavli Affiliate: Yevgeny V. Stadnik | First 5 Authors: Joshua Eby, Satoshi Shirai, Yevgeny V. Stadnik, Volodymyr Takhistov, | Summary: Emission of relativistic axions from transient sources, such as axion star explosions, can lead to observable signatures. We show that axion bursts from collapsing axion stars can be detectable over the wide range of axion […]

The eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS): A multiwavelength view of WISE mid-infrared galaxies/active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Yoshiki Toba, Teng Liu, Tanya Urrutia, Mara Salvato, Junyao Li | Summary: We investigate the physical properties–such as the stellar mass, SFR, IR luminosity, X-ray luminosity, and hydrogen column density–of MIR galaxies and AGN at $z < 4$ in the 140 deg$^2$ field observed by SRG/eROSITA […]

Demonstration of Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in $SO(N_c)$ Gauge Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Hitoshi Murayama, Ofri Telem, | Summary: We demonstrate that $SO(N_{c})$ gauge theories with matter fields in the vector representation confine due to monopole condensation and break the $SU(N_{F})$ chiral symmetry to $SO(N_{F})$ via the quark bilinear. Our results are obtained by perturbing the […]

Semiorthogonal decompositions for categorical Donaldson-Thomas theory via $Θ$-stratifications

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: We show the existence of semiorthogonal decompositions of Donaldson-Thomas categories for $(-1)$-shifted cotangent derived stacks associated with $Theta$-stratifications on them. Our main result gives an analogue of window theorem for categorical DT theory, which has applications to d-critical analogue of […]

Categorical Donaldson-Thomas theory for local surfaces: $mathbb{Z}/2$-periodic version

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: We prove two kinds of $mathbb{Z}/2$-periodic Koszul duality equivalences for triangulated categories of matrix factorizations associated with $(-1)$-shifted cotangents over quasi-smooth affine derived schemes. We use this result to define $mathbb{Z}/2$-periodic version of Donaldson-Thomas categories for local surfaces, whose $mathbb{C}^{ast}$-equivariant […]

The Multiverse in an Inverted Island

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Kevin Langhoff, Chitraang Murdia, Yasunori Nomura, , | Summary: We study the redundancies in the global spacetime description of the eternally inflating multiverse using the quantum extremal surface prescription. We argue that a sufficiently large spatial region in a bubble universe has an entanglement island surrounding it. […]
