Stringy Effects During Inflation and Reheating [PDF]
We consider inflationary cosmology in the context of string compactifications with multiple throats. In scenarios where the warping differs significantly between throats, string and Kaluza-Klein physics can generate potentially observable corrections to ...

Luminous signals of inelastic dark matter in large detectors
We study luminous dark matter signals in models with inelastic scattering. Dark matter χ 1 that scatters inelastically off elements in the Earth is kicked into an excited state χ 2 that can subsequently decay into a monoenergetic photon inside a detector.

An inflationary probe of cosmic Higgs switching
A scalar Higgs field can be repeatedly switched on and off when it couples to a classically oscillating scalar modulus field. The modulus flips the Higgs mass term between stable and tachyonic values.

Spin-0± portal induced Dark Matter
Standard model (SM) spin-zero singlets are constrained through their di-Bosonic decay channels via an effective coupling induced by a vector-like quark (VLQ) loop at the LHC for s=13 $$ \sqrt{s}=13 $$ TeV.

An update on the two singlet dark matter model
We revisit the two real singlet extension of the Standard Model with a Z 2 × Z 2 ′ $$ {Z}_2\times {Z}_2^{\prime } $$ symmetry. One of the singlet scalars S 2, by virtue of an unbroken Z 2 ′ $$ {Z}_2^{\prime } $$ symmetry, plays the role of a stable dark ...

Dark Matter from Minimal Flavor Violation
We consider theories of flavored dark matter, in which the dark matter particle is part of a multiplet transforming nontrivially under the flavor group of the Standard Model in a manner consistent with the principle of Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV). MFV

Cosmological constraints on deviations from Lorentz invariance in gravity and dark matter [PDF]
We consider a scenario where local Lorentz invariance is violated by the existence of a preferred time direction at every space-time point. This scenario can arise in the context of quantum gravity and its description at low energies contains a unit time-

Detector-size upper bounds on dark hadron lifetime from cosmology
We show that in a confining hidden valley model where the lightest hidden particles are dark hadrons that have mass splittings larger than O 0.1 $$ \mathcal{O}(0.1) $$ GeV, if the lightest dark hadron is either stable or decays into Standard Model (SM ...

Model-independent constraints with extended dark matter EFT
We systematically explore the phenomenology of the recently proposed extended dark matter effective field theory (eDMeft), which allows for a consistent effective description of DM scenarios across different energy scales.

The unexpected resurgence of Weyl geometry in late 20-th century physics
Weyl's original scale geometry of 1918 ("purely infinitesimal geometry") was withdrawn by its author from physical theorizing in the early 1920s. It had a comeback in the last third of the 20th century in different contexts: scalar tensor theories of ...
