Flux correlators and semiclassics

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Eren Clément Firat, Matthew Thomas Walters

We consider correlators for the flux of energy and charge in the background of operators with large global U(1) charge in conformal field theory (CFT). It has recently been shown that the corresponding Euclidean correlators generically admit a semiclassica ...

Hidden-nucleons neural-network quantum states for the nuclear many-body problem

Giuseppe Carleo

We generalize the hidden-fermion family of neural network quantum states to encompass both continuous and discrete degrees of freedom and solve the nuclear many-body Schrodinger equation in a systematically improvable fashion. We demonstrate that adding hi ...

Electroweak and Higgs Physics at Very High Energy

Lorenzo Ricci

Effective Field Theories (EFTs) allow a description of low energy effects of heavy new physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) in terms of higher dimensional operators among the SM fields. EFTs are not only an elegant and consistent way to describe heavy n ...

Gapped Goldstones at the cut-off scale: a non-relativistic EFT

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Angelo Esposito, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

At finite density, the spontaneous breakdown of an internal non-Abelian symmetry dictates, along with gapless modes, modes whose gap is fixed by the algebra and proportional to the chemical potential: the gapped Goldstones. Generically the gap of these sta ...

Variational Monte Carlo Calculations of A

Giuseppe Carleo

The complexity of many-body quantum wave functions is a central aspect of several fields of physics and chemistry where nonperturbative interactions are prominent. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have proven to be a flexible tool to approximate quantum m ...

Effective field theory analysis of double Higgs boson production via gluon fusion

Roberto Contino, Minho Son

We perform a detailed study of double Higgs production via gluon fusion in the effective field theory (EFT) framework where effects from new physics (NP) are parametrized by local operators. Our analysis provides a perspective broader than the one followed ...

Ab initio theory of Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials

Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet

An ab initio theory for Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials is de- veloped using Feshbach formalism. It reveals the role played by the electromagnetic modes and material losses in the system, and enables the engineering of Fano re ...

Higgs inflation: consistency and generalisations

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Sergey Sibiryakov, Amaury Magnin

We analyse the self-consistency of inflation in the Standard Model, where the Higgs field has a large non-minimal coupling to gravity. We determine the domain of energies in which this model represents a valid effective field theory as a function of the ba ...

Anomaly holography, the Wess-Zumino-Witten term, and electroweak symmetry breaking

I consider anomalies in effective field theories (EFTs) of gauge fields coupled to fermions on an interval in AdS(5), and their holographic duals. The anomalies give rise to constraints on the consistent EFT description, which are stronger than the usual f ...
