We provide a novel viewpoint on this claim: if we assume that a tower of states becomes light near a particular point in field space, and we further demand that loop corrections drive both gravity and the scalar to strong coupling at a common energy scale, then the requirement that the particles become light exponentially fast in the field-space distance in Planck units follows automatically. Furthermore, the same assumption of a common strong-coupling scale for scalar fields and gravitons implies that when a scalar field evolves over a super-Planckian distance, the average particle mass changes by an amount of order the cutoff energy. This supports earlier suggestions that significantly super-Planckian excursions in field space cannot be described within a single effective field theory. We comment on the relationship of our results to the Weak Gravity Conjecture. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08698 , 14kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08716 Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2018 19:56:40 GMT (28kb) Title: Exact results in 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $Spin(7)$ gauge theories with vector and spinor matters Authors: Keita Nii Categories: hep-th Comments: 31 pages \\ We study three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $Spin(7)$ gauge theories with $N_S$ spinorial matters and with $N_f$ vectorial matters. The quantum Coulomb branch on the moduli space of vacua is one- or two-dimensional depending on the matter contents. For particular values of $(N_f,N_S)$, we find s-confinement phases and derive exact superpotentials. The 3d dynamics of $Spin(7)$ is connected to the 4d dynamics via KK-monopoles. Along the Higgs branch of the $Spin(7)$ theories, we obtain 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $G_2$ or $SU(4)$ theories and some of them lead to new s-confinement phases. As a check of our analysis we compute superconformal indices for these theories. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08716 , 28kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08794 Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 04:04:54 GMT (677kb,D) Title: Quantum entanglement in de Sitter space with a wall, and the decoherence of bubble universes Authors: Andreas Albrecht, Sugumi Kanno, Misao Sasaki Categories: hep-th gr-qc quant-ph Comments: 20 pages, 8 figures Report-no: YITP-18-03 \\ We study the effect of a bubble wall on the entanglement entropy of a free massive scalar field between two causally disconnected open charts in de Sitter space. We assume there is a delta-functional wall between the open charts. This can be thought of as a model of pair creation of bubble universes in de Sitter space. We first derive the Euclidean vacuum mode functions of the scalar field in the presence of the wall in the coordinates that respect the open charts. We then derive the Bogoliubov transformation between the Euclidean vacuum and the open chart vacua that makes the reduced density matrix diagonal. We find that larger walls lead to less entanglement. Our result may be regarded as evidence of decoherence of bubble universes from each other. We also note an interesting relationship between our results and discussions of the black hole firewall problem. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08794 , 677kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08815 Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 07:54:14 GMT (27kb) Title: Entanglement entropy in (1+1)D CFTs with multiple local excitations Authors: Wu-zhong Guo, Song He, Zhu-Xi Luo Categories: hep-th quant-ph Comments: 20 pages, 4 figures \\ In this paper, we use the replica approach to study the R\'enyi entropy $S_L$ of generic locally excited states in (1+1)D CFTs, which are constructed from the insertion of multiple product of local primary operators on vacuum. Alternatively, one can calculate the R\'enyi entropy $S_R$ corresponding to the same states using Schmidt decomposition and operator product expansion, which reduces the multiple product of local primary operators to linear combination of descendant operators. The equivalence $S_L=S_R$ translates into an identity in terms of the $F$ symbols and quantum dimensions for rational CFT, and the latter can be proved algebraically. This, along with a series of papers, gives a complete picture of how the quantum information quantities and the intrinsic structure of (1+1)D CFTs are consistently related. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08815 , 27kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08850 Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 14:11:17 GMT (1338kb,D) Title: Role of switching-on and -off effects in the vacuum instability Authors: T. C. Adorno, R. Ferreira, S. P. Gavrilov and D. M. Gitman Categories: hep-th Comments: 19 pages \\ We find exact differential mean numbers of fermions and bosons created from the vacuum due to a composite electric field of special configuration. This configuration imitates a finite switching-on and -off regime and consists of fields that switch-on exponentially from the infinitely remote past, remains constant during a certain interval $T$ and switch-off exponentially to the infinitely remote future. We show that calculations in the slowly varying field approximation are completely predictable in the framework of a locally constant field approximation. Beyond the slowly varying field approximation, we study effects of fast switching-on and -off in a number of cases when the size of the dimensionless parameter $\sqrt{eE}T$ is either close or exceeds the threshold value that determines the transition from a regime sensitive to on-off parameters to the slowly varying regime for which these effects are secondary. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08850 , 1338kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08860 Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 15:11:33 GMT (4254kb,D) Title: Cohomologies of coherent sheaves and massless spectra in F-theory Authors: Martin Bies Categories: hep-th Comments: PhD thesis \\ In this PhD thesis we investigate the significance of Chow groups for zero mode counting and anomaly cancellation in F-theory vacua. The major part of this thesis focuses on zero mode counting. We explain that elements of Chow group describe a subset of gauge backgrounds and give rise to a line bundle on each matter curve. The sheaf cohomologies of these line bundles are found to encode the chiral and anti-chiral localised zero modes in this compactification. Therefore, it is of prime interest to compute these sheaf cohomologies. Unfortunately, the line bundles in question are in general non-pullback line bundles. In particular, this is the case for the hypercharge flux employed in F-theory models of grand unified theories (GUTs). Consequently, existing methods, such as the cohomCalg-algorithm, cannot be applied. In collaboration with the mathematician Mohamed Barakat, we have therefore implemented algorithms which determine the sheaf cohomologies of all coherent sheaves on toric varieties. These algorithms are provided by the gap-package SheafCohomologiesOnToricVarieties which extends the homalg-project of Mohamed Barakat. We exemplify these algorithms in explicit (toy-)models of F-theory GUTs. As a spin-off of this analysis, we proved that in an entire class of F-theory vacua, the matter surface fluxes satisfy a number of relations in the Chow ring, which we related to anomaly cancellation. Based on this evidence we conjecture that the well-known anomaly cancellation conditions in F-theory - typically phrased as intersections in the cohomology ring - can be extended even to relations in the Chow ring. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08860 , 4254kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08911 Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 20:54:31 GMT (306kb,D) Title: Conformal bootstrap for percolation and polymers Authors: Andre LeClair and Joshua Squires Categories: hep-th cond-mat.stat-mech math-ph math.MP Comments: 19 pages, 8 figures \\ The conformal bootstrap is applied to percolation and dilute self-avoiding polymers, two theories with Virasoro central charge $c=0$ in two dimensions. In both cases we propose a spectrum of operators motivated by Virasoro symmetry which is devoid of a stress energy tensor as an approximate means of enforcing $c=0$. Percolation is treated in $2\leq D \leq 6$ dimensions, and the self-avoiding walk in $2 \leq D \leq 4$. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08911 , 306kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08959 Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 06:42:59 GMT (24kb) Title: Parity Anomaly and Duality Web Authors: Chen-Te Ma Categories: hep-th Comments: 47 pages \\ We review parity anomaly and a duality web in 2+1 dimensions. An odd dimensional non-interacting Dirac fermion theory is not parity invariant at quantum level. We show that the parity anomaly in a three dimensional non-interacting Dirac fermion theory and a one dimensional non-interacting Dirac fermion theory and these theories can generate non-gauge invariant Abelian Chern-Simons terms at a finite temperature through an effective action. The parity anomaly also leads us to study the duality web in 2+1 dimensions, in which the 2+1 dimensional duality web begins from the conjecture of a duality between a three dimensional Dirac fermion theory and a three dimensional interacting scalar field theory at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point. We first review the duality web for the flat background, then we discuss its extension to the spin$_c$ manifold to avoid inconsistency from the spin structure. This also leads a global effect. We discuss that the composite fermions approach of the quantum Hall system also suffers from the same issue form the global description. Finally, we use perspective of the electric-magnetic duality of the Abelian gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions to study the 2+1 dimensional duality web. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08959 , 24kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09027 Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 16:06:03 GMT (3635kb,D) Title: Holographic fermionic spectrum with Weyl correction Authors: Jian-Pin Wu, Baicheng Xu, Guoyang Fu Categories: hep-th Comments: 11 pages,3 figures \\ We study the ferminoic spectrum with Weyl correction, which exhibits the non-Fermi liquid behavior. Also, we find that both the height of the peak of the fermionic spectrum and the dispersion relation exhibit a nonlinearity with the variety of the Weyl coupling parameter $\gamma$, which mean that such nonlinearity maybe ascribe to the one of the Maxwell field. Another important property of this system is that for the holographic fermionic system with $\gamma<0$, the degree of the deviation from Fermi liquid is heavier than that for the one with $\gamma>0$. It indicates that there is a transition of coupling strength in the dual boundary field theory. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09027 , 3635kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09095 Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:58:32 GMT (822kb,D) Title: Ginzburg-Landau Type Approach to the 1+1 Gross Neveu Model - Beyond Lowest Non-Trivial Order Authors: Anees Ahmed Categories: hep-th Comments: 12 figures, 17 pages \\ This paper presents a case study of the effects of increasing the order of a Ginzburg-Landau type expansion, by using the well known Gross-Neveu model in 1+1 dimensions as a test case.

Lidsey Categories: hep-th Comments: 16 pages \\ The cosmological field equations sourced by a self-interacting scalar field are dynamically equivalent to a closed system of equations obtained by applying the moment method to non-linear Schr\"odinger equations possessing an underlying non-relativistic conformal $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ symmetry. We consider the one-dimensional, quintic Schr\"odinger equation relevant to strongly repulsive, dilute Bose gases. The action of the diffeomorphism group on the space of Schr\"odinger operators generates an harmonic trapping potential that can be identified with the kinetic energy of the cosmological scalar field. Inflationary cosmologies are represented by points on the orbit of the de Sitter solution, which is the quotient manifold ${\rm Diff}(\mathbb{R})/SL(2,\mathbb{R})$. Key roles are played by the Schwarzian derivative of the diffeomorphism and the Ermakov-Pinney equation. The underlying $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ symmetry results in a first integral constraint which ensures energy-momentum conservation. When the analysis is restricted to the universal cover group of diffeomorphisms on the circle, the generation of a rolling scalar field can be understood in terms of the Virasoro coadjoint action. The corresponding symplectic two-form and Hamiltonian generator of the coadjoint orbit are determined by the scalar field kinetic energy. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09186 , 33kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09281 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:06:47 GMT (262kb) Title: Multi Phase in Cold Dense Quark Matter Authors: Song Shi, Juan Liu, Zhu-fang Cui Categories: hep-th \\ In this article, we study dynamic chiral symmetry breaking at zero temperature, finite chemical potential and external magnetic field with massless NJL model. We have proposed a mathematical method to classify phases in phase diagram of cold dense quark matter, and use mathematical analysis to identify the multi phase phenomenon among solutions for gap equation which means with fixed chemical potential and magnetic field, there could be two phases coexisting. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09281 , 262kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09366 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:02:55 GMT (24kb,D) Title: Dynamical structure of Carrollian Electrodynamics Authors: Rudranil Basu, Udit Narayan Chowdhury Categories: hep-th \\ We present an action of ultra-relativistic electrodynamics on a flat Carroll manifold. The model exhibits a couple of physical degrees of freedom per space-point. We observe that the action of the conformal Carroll algebra on the phase space is Hamiltonian in 4 space-time dimensions.

Authors: A.Anokhina and A.Morozov Categories: hep-th Comments: 23 pp Report-no: ITEP-TH/05-18 \\ $R$-coloured knot polynomials for $m$-strand torus knots $Torus_{[m,n]}$ are described by the Rosso-Jones formula, which is an example of evolution in $n$ with Lyapunov exponents, labelled by Young diagrams from $R^{\otimes m}$. This means that they satisfy a finite-difference equation (recursion) of finite degree. For the gauge group $SL(N)$ only diagrams with no more than $N$ lines can contribute and the recursion degree is reduced. We claim that these properties (evolution/recursion and reduction) persist for Khovanov-Rozansky (KR) polynomials, obtained by additional factorization modulo $1+{\bf t}$, which is not yet adequately described in quantum field theory. Also preserved is some weakened version of differential expansion, which is responsible at least for a simple relation between {\it reduced} and {\it unreduced} Khovanov polynomials. However, in the KR case evolution is incompatible with the mirror symmetry under the change $n\longrightarrow -n$, what can signal about an ambiguity in the KR factorization even for torus knots. } \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09383 , 28kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09395 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:25:13 GMT (2105kb,D) Title: Scattering Amplitudes -- Wilson Loops Duality for the First Non-planar Correction Authors: Roy Ben-Israel, Alexander G. Tumanov and Amit Sever Categories: hep-th Comments: 50 pages, 17 figures \\ We study the first non-planar correction to gluon scattering amplitudes in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM theory. The correction takes the form of a double trace partial amplitude and is suppressed by one power of $1/N$ with respect to the leading single trace contribution. We extend the duality between planar scattering amplitudes and null polygonal Wilson loops to the double trace amplitude. The new duality relates the amplitude to the correlation function of two infinite null polygonal Wilson lines that are subject to a quantum periodicity constraint. We test the duality perturbatively at one-loop order and demonstrate it for the dual string in AdS. The duality allows us to extend the notion of the loop integrand beyond the planar limit and to determine it using recursion relations. It also allows us to apply the integrability-based pentagon operator product expansion approach to the first non-planar order. This was the original motivation for this work and it will be reported on in a separate publication. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09395 , 2105kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09418 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 16:01:57 GMT (63kb,D) Title: Naturally light scalar particles: a generic and simple mechanism Authors: F. L\'eonard, B. Delamotte and N. Wschebor Categories: hep-th Comments: 5 pages, 1 figure \\ The hierarchy problem in the Standard Model is usually understood as both a technical problem of stability of the calculation of the quantum corrections to the masses of the Higgs sector and of the unnatural difference between the Planck and gauge breaking scales. Leaving aside the gauge sector, we implement on a purely scalar model a mechanism for generating naturally light scalar particles where both of these issues are solved. In this model, on top of terms invariant under a continuous symmetry, a highly non-renormalizable term is added to the action that explicitly breaks this symmetry down to a discrete one. In the spontaneously broken phase, the mass of the pseudo-Goldstone is then driven by quantum fluctuations to values that are non-vanishing but that are generically, that is, without fine-tuning, orders of magnitude smaller than the UV scale. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09418 , 63kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09421 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 16:06:38 GMT (2570kb,D) Title: Probing topological superconductors with emergent gravity Authors: Omri Golan and Ady Stern Categories: hep-th cond-mat.mes-hall cond-mat.str-el Comments: 44 pages, 3 figures \\ We study the interplay of three phenomena that occur in 2+1 dimensional $p$-wave superconductors. The first is emergent gravity, where interacting fermions behave effectively as fermions interacting with a form of gravity, which is described by the superconducting order parameter. The second is topological superconductivity, the existence of nontrivial topological phases, characterized by a Chern number, of the effectively free fermions in the emergent gravitational background. The third is the spontaneous breaking of $U(1)$ symmetry, which is the statement that the number of effectively free fermions is not conserved. We show that an energy-momentum response of the fermions to the emergent gravitational background reveals their topological phase. This response is encoded in a gravitational Chern-Simons (gCS) term and is intimately related to the existence of chiral Majorana fermions on domain walls between different topological phases, via energy-momentum conservation, or gravitational anomaly inflow. Thus emergent gravity is a natural probe for topological phases of superconductors, and provides a physical interpretation for the boundary gravitational anomaly and bulk gCS term in this context. The spontaneous breaking of $U(1)$ symmetry introduces additional bulk responses, encoded in a gravitational pseudo Chern-Simons term. Although not topological in nature, these responses carry surprising similarities to the topological responses encoded in the gCS term. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09421 , 2570kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09483 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 18:00:51 GMT (22kb) Title: Physical Constraints on Quantum Deformations of Spacetime Symmetries Authors: Flavio Mercati, Matteo Sergola Categories: hep-th Comments: 12 pages, 1 table \\ In this work we study the deformations into Lie bialgebras of the three relativistic Lie algebras: de Sitter, Anti-de Sitter and Poincar\'e, which describe the symmetries of the three maximally symmetric spacetimes. These algebras represent the centrepiece of the kinematics of special relativity (and its analogue in (Anti-)de Sitter spacetime), and provide the simplest framework to build physical models in which inertial observers are equivalent. Such a property can be expected to be preserved by Quantum Gravity, a theory which should build a length/energy scale into the microscopic structure of spacetime. Quantum groups, and their infinitesimal version `Lie bialgebras', allow to encode such a scale into a noncommutativity of the algebra of functions over the group (and over spacetime, when the group acts on a homogeneous space). In 2+1 dimensions we have evidence that the vacuum state of Quantum Gravity is one such `noncommutative spacetime' whose symmetries are described by a Lie bialgebra. It is then of great interest to study the possible Lie bialgebra deformations of the relativistic Lie algebras. In this paper, we develop a classification of such deformations in 2, 3 and 4 spacetime dimensions, based on physical requirements based on dimensional analysis, on various degrees of `manifest isotropy' (which implies that certain symmetries, i.e. Lorentz transformations or rotations, are `more classical'), and on discrete symmetries like P and T. On top of a series of new results in 3 and 4 dimensions, we find a no-go theorem for the Lie bialgebras in 4 dimensions, which singles out the well-known `$\kappa$-deformation' as the only one that depends on the first power of the Planck length, or, alternatively, that possesses `manifest' spatial isotropy. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09483 , 22kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09491 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 18:14:31 GMT (17kb) Title: Separation of variables in Maxwell equations in Plebanski-Demianski spacetime Authors: Valeri P.

The key observation is that Lunin's ansatz for the vector potential can be formulated in a covariant form - in terms of the principal tensor. In particular, focusing on the four-dimensional case we demonstrate separability of Maxwell's equations in the Kerr-NUT-(A)dS and the Plebanski-Demianski family of spacetimes. The new method of separation of variables is quite different from the standard approach based on the Newman-Penrose formalism. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09491 , 17kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09512 Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 18:54:46 GMT (91kb,D) Title: Goldstone modes and photonization for higher form symmetries Authors: Diego M. Hofman and Nabil Iqbal Categories: hep-th cond-mat.str-el Comments: 7 pages, 1 figure \\ We discuss generalized global symmetries and their breaking. We extend Goldstone's theorem to higher form symmetries by showing that a perimeter law for an extended $p$-dimensional defect operator charged under a continuous $p$-form generalized global symmetry necessarily results in a gapless mode in the spectrum. We also show that a $p$-form symmetry in a conformal theory in $2(p+1)$ dimensions has a free realization. In four dimensions this means any 1-form symmetry in a $CFT_4$ can be realized by free Maxwell electrodynamics, i.e. the current can be photonized. The photonized theory has infinitely many conserved 0-form charges that are constructed by integrating the symmetry currents against suitable 1-forms. We study these charges by developing a twistor-based formalism that is a 4d analogue of the usual holomorphic complex analysis familiar in $CFT_2$. The charges are shown to obey an algebra with central extension, which is an analogue of the 2d Abelian Kac-Moody algebra for higher form symmetries. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09512 , 91kb) %-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08455 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2018 09:24:28 GMT (4168kb,D) Title: Tibet$^\prime$s Window on Primordial Gravitational Waves Authors: Hong Li, Si-Yu Li, Yang Liu, Yong-Ping Li, Xinmin Zhang Categories: astro-ph.IM astro-ph.CO gr-qc hep-ph hep-th Journal-ref: Nature Astronomy 2, 104, 2018 DOI: 10.1038/s41550-017-0373-0 \\ As an essential part of China’s Gravitational Waves Program, the Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT) is a ground-based experiment aiming at the Primordial Gravitational Waves (PGWs) by measuring B-mode polarization of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

However, its hadronic eigensolutions conform to a representation of superconformal algebra, reflecting the underlying conformal symmetry of chiral QCD and its Pauli matrix representation. The eigensolutions of superconformal algebra provide a unified Regge spectroscopy of meson, baryon, and tetraquarks in the same 4-plet representation with a universal Regge slope. The pion $q \bar q$ eigenstate has zero mass for $m_q=0.$ The superconformal relations also can be extended to heavy-light quark mesons and baryons. The combined approach of light-front holography and superconformal algebra also provides insight into the origin of the QCD mass scale and color confinement. A key observation is the remarkable dAFF principle which shows how a mass scale can appear in the Hamiltonian and the equations of motion while retaining the conformal symmetry of the action. When one applies the dAFF procedure to chiral QCD, a mass scale $\kappa$ appears which determines universal Regge slopes, hadron masses in the absence of the Higgs coupling, and the mass parameter underlying the form of the nonperturbative QCD running coupling: $\alpha_s(Q^2) \propto \exp{-{Q^2/4 \kappa^2}}$, in agreement with the effective charge determined from measurements of the Bjorken sum rule. The mass scale $\kappa$ underlying hadron masses can be connected to the parameter $\Lambda_{\overline {MS}}$ in the QCD running coupling by matching its predicted nonperturbative form to the perturbative QCD regime. One also obtains predictions for spacelike and timelike hadronic form factors, structure functions, distribution amplitudes, and transverse momentum distributions. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08552 , 11063kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08696 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2018 19:00:23 GMT (3095kb,AD) Title: Correlation functions of the quantum sine-Gordon model in and out of equilibrium Authors: Ivan Kukuljan, Spyros Sotiriadis, Gabor Takacs Categories: cond-mat.stat-mech cond-mat.quant-gas hep-th quant-ph Comments: Animation of quench dynamics in ancillary material \\ Complete information on the equilibrium behaviour and dynamics of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is provided by the field correlation functions. However their theoretical calculation is a challenging problem, even for exactly solvable models. This has recently become an experimentally relevant problem, due to progress in cold-atom experiments simulating QFT models and directly measuring higher order correlations. We compute correlation functions of the quantum sine-Gordon model, a prototype integrable model of central interest from both theoretical and experimental point of view. Building upon the so-called Truncated Conformal Space Approach, we numerically construct higher order correlations in a system of finite size in various physical states of experimental relevance, both in and out of equilibrium. We measure deviations from Gaussianity due to the presence of interaction and analyse their dependence on temperature, explaining the experimentally observed crossover between Gaussian and non-Gaussian regimes. We find that correlations of excited states are markedly different from the thermal case, which can be explained by integrability of the system. We also study dynamics after a quench, observing the effects of the interaction on the time evolution of correlation functions, their spatial dependence and a global measure of non-Gaussianity. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08696 , 3095kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08711 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2018 19:32:34 GMT (447kb,D) Title: Dirac ocillator in the cosmic string spacetime in the context of gravity's rainbow Authors: K. Bakke and H. Mota Categories: gr-qc hep-th quant-ph Comments: 17 pages, 3 figues \\ In this paper we consider the Dirac oscillator in the context of Doubly General Relativity or Gravity's Rainbow. In order to obtain the energy levels of the Dirac oscillator, we solve the Dirac equation in the cosmic string spacetime modified by gravity's rainbow scenarios described by two rainbow functions. We then obtain that, as a consequence of the modification of the cosmic string line element by the two rainbow functions, the energy levels of the Dirac oscillator are appreciable altered. The results are plotted and compared with the standard case, without gravity's rainbow effects. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08711 , 447kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08749 (*cross-listing*) Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 09:37:01 GMT (934kb) Title: Quintessence Reissner Nordstr\"om Anti de Sitter Black Holes and Joule Thomson effect Authors: H. Ghaffarnejad, E. Yaraie, M. Farsam Categories: gr-qc hep-th Comments: 18 pages, 3 figures, International Journal of Theoretical Physics 2018 DOI: 10.1007/s10773-018-3693-7 \\ In this work we investigate corrections of the quintessence regime of the dark energy on the Joule-Thomson (JT) effect of the Reissner Nordstr\"om anti de Sitter (RNAdS) black hole. The quintessence dark energy has equation of state as $p_q=\omega\rho_q$ in which $-1<\omega<-\frac{1}{3}.$ Our calculations are restricted to ansatz: $\omega=-1$ (the cosmological constant regime) and $\omega=-\frac{2}{3}$ (quintessence dark energy). To study the JT expansion of the AdS gas under the constant black hole mass, we calculate inversion temperature $T_i$ of the quintessence RNAdS black hole where its cooling phase is changed to heating phase at a particular (inverse) pressure $P_i.$ Position of the inverse point $\{T_i,P_i\}$ is determined by crossing the inverse curves with the corresponding Gibbons-Hawking temperature on the T-P plan. We determine position of the inverse point verse different numerical values of the mass $M$ and the charge $Q$ of the quintessence AdS RN black hole. The cooling-heating phase transition (JT effect) is happened for $M>Q$ in which the causal singularity is still covered by the horizon. Our calculations show sensitivity of the inverse point $\{T_i,P_i\}$ position on the T-P plan to existence of the quintessence dark energy just for large numerical values of the AdS RN black holes charge $Q$. In other words the quintessence dark energy dose not affects on position of the inverse point when the AdS RN black hole takes on small charges. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08749 , 934kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08763 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2018 23:35:14 GMT (1099kb) Title: Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of two-component Bose mixtures with inter-component Josephson coupling Authors: Michikazu Kobayashi, Minoru Eto, Muneto Nitta Categories: cond-mat.stat-mech cond-mat.supr-con hep-th Comments: 7 pages, 8 figures \\ We study the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition of two-component Bose mixtures in two spatial dimensions. When phases of both components are decoupled, half-quantized vortex-antivortex pairs of each component induce two-step BKT transitions. On the other hand, when phases of the both components are synchronized through the inter-component Josephson coupling, two species of vortices of each component are bind to form a molecule, and in this case, we find that there is only one BKT transition by molecule-antimolecule pairs. Our results can be tested by two weakly-connected Bose systems such as two-component ultracold dilute Bose mixtures with the Rabi oscillation, and multiband superconductors. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08763 , 1099kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08830 (*cross-listing*) Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 10:31:16 GMT (70kb,D) Title: Field Theories for Loop-Erased Random Walks Authors: Kay Joerg Wiese and Andrei A. Fedorenko Categories: cond-mat.stat-mech hep-th math-ph math.MP Comments: 6 pages, 4 figures \\ We analyze candidate field theories for loop-erased random walks (LERWs) in dimensions $2\le d\le 4$. The first such candidate is $\phi^4$-theory with $O(n)$-symmetry at $n=-2$. The link is established via a perturbation expansion in the coupling constant. The second candidate is a field theory for charge-density waves pinned by quenched disorder. Here the depinning transition is described by a non-analytic fixed point whose relation to the LERW had been conjectured earlier using analogies with Abelian sandpiles. We show diagrammatically order by order in the coupling constant that both theories yield identical results for key quantities such as the renormalization-group $\beta$-function, and the scaling dimensions of the observables which we identify with the fractal dimension of LERWs. While in $\phi^4$ theory the latter is obtained from the crossover exponent encoded in the operator $\phi_1\phi_2$, in the charge-density-wave formulation it is given by the dynamical exponent $z$. The formal equivalence between the two theories is explicitly checked to 4-loop order. For the fractal dimension of LERWs in $d=3$ it gives at 5-loop order $z=1.624\pm 0.002$, in agreement with the prediction $z = 1.624 00 \pm 0.00005$ of numerical simulations. We also show that a minimal description of LERWs can be formulated in terms of complex fermions. These three models constitute a hierarchy of field theories for LERWs. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08830 , 70kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08853 (*cross-listing*) Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 14:35:17 GMT (50kb) Title: Transfer matrix spectrum for cyclic representations of the 6-vertex reflection algebra II Authors: J. M. Maillet, G. Niccoli, B. Pezelier Categories: math-ph cond-mat.stat-mech hep-th math.MP nlin.SI Comments: 50 pages \\ This article is a direct continuation of [1] where we begun the study of the transfer matrix spectral problem for the cyclic representations of the trigonometric 6-vertex reflection algebra associated to the Bazhanov-Stroganov Lax operator. There we addressed this problem for the case where one of the K-matrices describing the boundary conditions is triangular. In the present article we consider the most general integrable boundary conditions, namely the most general boundary K-matrices satisfying the reflection equation. The spectral analysis is developed by implementing the method of Separation of Variables (SoV). We first design a suitable gauge transformation that enable us to put into correspondence the spectral problem for the most general boundary conditions with another one having one boundary K-matrix in a triangular form. In these settings the SoV resolution can be obtained along an extension of the method described in [1]. The transfer matrix spectrum is then completely characterized in terms of the set of solutions to a discrete system of polynomial equations in a given class of functions and equivalently as the set of solutions to an analogue of Baxter's T-Q functional equation. We further describe scalar product properties of the separate states including eigenstates of the transfer matrix. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08853 , 50kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.08958 (*cross-listing*) Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 06:26:24 GMT (316kb) Title: Group theory approach to unification of gravity with internal symmetry gauge interactions: I.

Odintsov, V.K. Oikonomou Categories: gr-qc astro-ph.CO hep-th \\ In this work we construct a bottom-up reconstruction technique for Loop Quantum Cosmology scalar-tensor theories, from the observational indices. Particularly, the reconstruction technique is based on fixing the functional form of the scalar-to-tensor ratio as a function of the $e$-foldings number. The aim of the technique is to realize viable inflationary scenarios, and the only assumption that must hold true in order for the reconstruction technique to work is that the dynamical evolution of the scalar field obeys the slow-roll conditions. We shall use two functional forms for the scalar-to-tensor ratio, one of which corresponds to a popular inflationary class of models, the $\alpha$-attractors. For the latter, we shall calculate the leading order behavior of the spectral index and we shall demonstrate that the resulting inflationary theory is viable and compatible with the latest Planck and BICEP2/Keck-Array data. In addition, we shall find the classical limit of the theory, and as we demonstrate, the Loop Quantum Cosmology corrected theory and the classical theory are identical at leading order in the perturbative expansion quantified by the parameter $\rho_c$, which is the critical density of the quantum theory. Finally, by using the formalism of slow-roll scalar-tensor Loop Quantum Cosmology, we shall investigate how several inflationary potentials can be realized by the quantum theory, and we shall calculate directly the slow-roll indices and the corresponding observational indices. In addition, the $f(R)$ gravity frame picture is presented. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09024 , 436kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09061 (*cross-listing*) Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 18:52:17 GMT (564kb,D) Title: Velocity Memory Effect for Polarized Gravitational Waves Authors: P.-M.

We study cosmological inflation in these models to find possible $\alpha$-attractors. We show that similar to the canonical scalar field case, in both tachyon and DBI models there is a value of the scalar spectral index in small $\alpha$ limit which is just a function of the e-folds number. However, the value of $n_{s}$ in DBI model is somewhat different from the other ones. We also compare the results with Planck2015 TT, TE, EE+lowP data. The reheating phase after inflation is studied in these models which gives some more constraints on the model's parameters. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09185 , 196kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09299 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:56:34 GMT (604kb,D) Title: Higgs inflation at the hilltop Authors: Vera-Maria Enckell, Kari Enqvist, Syksy Rasanen, Eemeli Tomberg Categories: hep-ph gr-qc hep-th Comments: 26 pages, 7 figures Report-no: HIP-2018-8/TH \\ We study inflation with the non-minimally coupled Standard Model Higgs in the case when quantum corrections generate a hilltop in the potential. We consider both the metric and the Palatini formulation of general relativity. We investigate hilltop inflation in different parts of the Higgs potential and calculate predictions for CMB observables. We run the renormalization group equations up from the electroweak scale and down from the hilltop, adding a jump in-between to account for unknown corrections in the intermediate regime. Within our approximation, no viable hilltop inflation is possible for small field values, where the non-minimal coupling has no role, nor for intermediate field values. For large field values, hilltop inflation works. We find the spectral index to be $n_s\leq0.96$ in both the metric and the Palatini formulation, the upper bound coinciding with the tree-level result. The tensor-to-scalar ratio is $r\leq1.2\times10^{-3}$ in the metric case and $r\leq2.2\times10^{-9}$ in the Palatini case. Successful inflation is possible even when the renormalization group running is continuous with no jumps. In the metric formulation, $r$ is smaller than in Higgs inflation on the tree-level plateau or at the critical point, making it possible to distinguish hilltop inflation from these scenarios with next-generation CMB experiments. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09299 , 604kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09339 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 14:46:15 GMT (383kb) Title: The QCD axion beyond the classical level: A lattice study Authors: Y.

If axions exist and have low mass, they are a candidate for dark matter as well. So far our knowledge of the properties of the QCD axion rests on semi-classical arguments and effective theory. In this Letter we perform a fully dynamical investigation of the Peccei-Quinn theory, focussing on the impact of QCD on key axion parameters, by simulating the Peccei-Quinn-Weinberg-Wilczek action on the lattice. The results of the simulation, including the axion mass and effective potential, are found to be in contradiction with current axion phenomenology and question the validity and use of the Peccei-Quinn theory. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09339 , 383kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09409 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:46:01 GMT (23kb) Title: Reparametrization Invariance and Partial Re-Summations of the Heavy Quark Expansion Authors: Thomas Mannel and K.

Rosa, O. Bertolami Categories: hep-ph astro-ph.CO gr-qc hep-th \\ We discuss the dynamics and phenomenology of an oscillating scalar field coupled to the Higgs boson that accounts for the dark matter in the Universe. The model assumes an underlying scale invariance such that the scalar field only acquires mass after the electroweak phase transition, behaving as dark radiation before the latter takes place. While for a positive coupling to the Higgs field the dark scalar is stable, for a negative coupling it acquires a vacuum expectation value after the electroweak phase transition and may decay into photon pairs, albeit with a mean lifetime much larger than the age of the Universe. We explore possible astrophysical and laboratory signatures of such a dark matter candidate in both cases, including annihilation and decay into photons, Higgs decay, photon-dark scalar oscillations and induced oscillations of fundamental constants. We find that dark matter within this scenario will be generically difficult to detect in the near future, except for the promising case of a 7 keV dark scalar decaying into photons, which naturally explains the observed galactic and extra-galactic 3.5 keV X-ray line. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09434 , 35kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09439 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 16:30:44 GMT (2522kb) Title: Cosmological constant from condensation of defect excitations Authors: Bianca Dittrich Categories: gr-qc cond-mat.str-el hep-th Comments: 26+7 pages \\ A key challenge for many quantum gravity approaches is to construct states that describe smooth geometries on large scales. Here we define a family of $(2+1)$-dimensional quantum gravity states which arise from curvature excitations concentrated at point like defects and describe homogeneously curved geometries on large scales. These states represent therefore vacua for three-dimensional gravity with different values of the cosmological constant. They can be described by an anomaly-free first class constraint algebra quantized on one and the same Hilbert space for different values of the cosmological constant. A similar construction is possible in four dimensions, in this case the curvature is concentrated along string-like defects and the states are vacua of the Crane-Yetter model. We will sketch applications for quantum cosmology and condensed matter. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09439 , 2522kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1802.09497 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 18:23:46 GMT (46kb) Title: Yang-Baxter algebras as convolution algebras: The Grassmannian case Authors: Vassily Gorbounov, Christian Korff and Catharina Stroppel Categories: math-ph hep-th math.MP math.QA math.RT \\ We present a simple but explicit example of a recent development which connects quantum integrable models with Schubert calculus: there is a purely geometric construction of solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation and their associated Yang-Baxter algebras which play a central role in quantum integrable systems and exactly solvable lattice models in statistical physics. We consider the degenerate five-vertex limit of the asymmetric six-vertex model and identify its associated Yang-Baxter algebra as convolution algebra arising from the equivariant Schubert calculus of Grassmannians. We show how our method can be used to construct (Schur algebra type) quotients of the current algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_2[t]$ acting on the tensor product of copies of its evaluation representation $\mathbb{C}^2[t]$.

Shajidul Haque, Nathan Moynihan, Bret Underwood Categories: gr-qc hep-th Comments: 21 pages \\ In General Relativity, gravity is universally attractive, a feature embodied by the Raychaudhuri equation which requires that the expansion of a congruence of geodesics is always non-increasing, as long as matter obeys the strong or weak energy conditions. This behavior of geodesics is an important ingredient in general proofs of singularity theorems, which show that many spacetimes are singular in the sense of being geodesically incomplete and suggest that General Relativity is itself incomplete. It is possible that alternative theories of gravity, which reduce to General Relativity in some limit, can resolve these singularities, so it is of interest to consider how the behavior of geodesics is modified in these frameworks. We compute the leading corrections to the Raychaudhuri equation for the expansion due to models in string theory, braneworld gravity, $f(R)$ theories, and Loop Quantum Cosmology, for cosmological and black hole backgrounds, and show that while in most cases geodesic convergence is reinforced, in a few cases terms representing repulsion arise, weakening geodesic convergence and thereby the conclusions of the singularity theorems. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09499 , 31kb) %%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1002.2835 (*cross-listing*) replaced with revised version Sun, 25 Feb 2018 09:19:02 GMT (1340kb) Title: Gravitino phenomenology and cosmological implications of supergravity Authors: Andrea Ferrantelli Categories: hep-ph astro-ph.CO hep-th Comments: 123 pages, Ph.D. thesis (Advisor: K.
