Gravity, scale invariance and the hierarchy problem

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin

Combining the quantum scale invariance with the absence of new degrees of freedom above the electroweak scale leads to stability of the latter against perturbative quantum corrections. Nevertheless, the hierarchy between the weak and the Planck scales rema ...

Kinetic isotope effects and how to describe them

Jiri Vanicek, Konstantin Karandashev

We review several methods for computing kinetic isotope effects in chemical reactions including semiclassical and quantum instanton theory. These methods describe both the quantization of vibrational modes as well as tunneling and are applied to the ⋅H + H ...

Linear flavor-wave theory for fully antisymmetric SU( N ) irreducible representations

Frédéric Mila, Pierre Marcel Nataf, Francisco Hyunkyu Kim, Karlo Penc

The extension of the linear flavor-wave theory to fully antisymmetric irreducible representations (irreps) of SU(N) is presented in order to investigate the color order of SU(N) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg models in several two-dimensional geometries. The ...

Haldane quantum Hall effect for light in a dynamically modulated array of resonators

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

Topological insulators have attracted abundant attention for a variety of reasons-notably, the possibility for lossless energy transport through edge states "protected" against disorder. Topological effects such as the quantum Hall state can be induced thr ...

Accelerating quantum instanton calculations of the kinetic isotope effects

Jiri Vanicek, Konstantin Karandashev

Path integral implementation of the quantum instanton approximation currently belongs among the most accurate methods for computing quantum rate constants and kinetic isotope effects, but its use has been limited due to the rather high computational cost. ...

Confined vortices in topologically massive U(1) x U(1) theory

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Yannis Burnier, Eray Sabancilar

We report on a new topological vortex solution in U(1) x U(1) Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. The existence of the vortex is envisaged by analytical means, and a numerical solution is obtained by integrating the equations of motion. These vortices have a long ...

On the global structure of deformed Yang-Mills theory and QCD(adj) on R-3 x S-1

Spatial compactification on R(3)xS(L)(1), at small S-1-size L often leads to a calculable vacuum structure, where various "topological molecules" are responsible for confinement and the realization of the center and discrete chiral symmetries. Within this ...
