A mass for the dual axion [PDF]
Journal of High Energy PhysicsIn this article we study a modification of axion physics in which the dual axion acquires a mass. This mass explicitly breaks the shift symmetry of the dual axion. The potential breaking of this shift symmetry poses a dual axion quality problem. When the

, 2008 We construct and analyse chains of solitons in various field theories. Particular emphasis is placed on the constituent structure, which appears to be be a generic feature of chains.

Uniqueness of Two‐Bubble Wave Maps in High Equivariance Classes
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 76, Issue 8, Page 1608-1656, August 2023., 2023 Abstract This is the second part of a two‐paper series that establishes the uniqueness and regularity of a threshold energy wave map that does not scatter in both time directions. Consider the S2‐valued equivariant energy critical wave maps equation on ℝ1+2, with equivariance class k≥4.

Area Law Saturation of Entropy Bound from Perturbative Unitarity in Renormalizable Theories
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021 Abstract We study the quantum information storage capacity of solitons and baryons in renormalizable quantum field theories that do not include gravity. We observe that a 't Hooft‐Polyakov magnetic monopole saturates the Bekenstein bound on information when the theory saturates the bound on perturbative unitarity.

Calorons, symmetry, and the soliton trinity [PDF]
, 2018 This thesis is concerned with calorons -- finite-action, anti-self-dual connections over S^1\times R^3. We study three major topics: a review of the geometry of calorons, and their different construction techniques; the topic of symmetric calorons, that ...

Unitarity Entropy Bound: Solitons and Instantons
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021 Abstract We show that non‐perturbative entities such as solitons and instantons saturate bounds on entropy when the theory saturates unitarity. Simultaneously, the entropy becomes equal to the area of the soliton/instanton. This is strikingly similar to black hole entropy despite absence of gravity. We explain why this similarity is not an accident. We

Topological sectors for heterotic M5-brane charges under Hypothesis H
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 Assuming Fiorenza-Sati-Schreiber’s Hypothesis H, on the charge quantization of M-theory’s C -field, the topological sectors of the resulting String c2 (4)-valued higher gauge theory on a heterotic M5-brane are classified by homotopy classes of maps from ...

Instantons and entanglement entropy
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We would like to put the area law — believed to be obeyed by entanglement entropies in the ground state of a local field theory — to scrutiny in the presence of nonperturbative effects.

Noncommutative instantons and solitons [PDF]
, 2003 I explain how to construct noncommutative BPS configurations in four and lower dimensions by solving linear matrix equations. Examples are instantons in D=4 Yang-Mills, monopoles in D=3 Yang-Mills-Higgs, and (moving) solitons in D=2+1 Yang-Mills-Higgs ...

False vacuum decay in gauge theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 The decay rate of a false vacuum is studied in gauge theory, paying particular attention to its gauge invariance. Although the decay rate should not depend on the gauge parameter ξ according to the Nielsen identity, the gauge invariance of the result of ...
