Many theories of quantum gravity propose Lorentz-violating dispersion relations of the form $omega_{|mathbf{k}|}=|mathbf{k}|f(|mathbf{k}|/M_star)$, which approximately recover to the Lorentz invariance, $omega_{|mathbf{k}|}approx|mathbf{k}|$, at the energy scales much below $M_star$. However, usually such a scale is assumed to be near the Planck scale, thus the feature of the Lorentz-violating theory is weak and its experimental test becomes extremely challenging. Since the geometric phase (GP) is of accumulative and sensitive nature to weak effects, here we explore the GP acquired by an inertial atomic detector that is coupled to a quantum field with this kind of Lorentz-violating dispersion. We show that for the Lorentz-violating field theory case the GP depends on the velocity of the detector, which is quite different from the Lorentz symmetry case where the GP is independent of the detector's velocity. In particular, we show that the GP may present a drastic low-energy Lorentz violation for any $f$ that dips below unity somewhere. We apply our analysis to detecting the polymer quantization motivated by loop quantum gravity, and show the detector acquires an experimentally detectable GP with the assist of detector's velocity that below current ion collider rapidities. Furthermore, the accumulative nature of GP might facilitate the relevant detection significantly.
许多量子引力理论都提出了形式为$omega_{|mathbf{k}|}=|mathbf{k}|f(|mathbf{k}|/M_star)$的违反洛伦兹的色散关系,在能量尺度远低于$M_star$的情况下,它近似地恢复了洛伦兹不变性,即$omega_{|mathbf{k}|}approx|mathbf{k}|$。然而,通常这样的尺度被假定为接近普朗克斯尺度,因此洛伦兹违拗理论的特征很弱,对它的实验检验变得极具挑战性。由于几何相位(GP)对弱效应具有累积性和敏感性,我们在此探讨了惯性原子探测器获得的GP,该探测器与具有这种违反洛伦兹色散的量子场耦合。我们发现,在违反洛伦兹场论的情况下,GP 值取决于探测器的速度,这与洛伦兹对称情况下的 GP 值与探测器的速度无关是完全不同的。我们特别指出,GPm可能会在任何$f$的某处骤降到统一以下时出现严重的低能洛伦兹违反。我们把分析结果应用于探测环量子引力激发的聚合物量子化,结果表明,在低于当前离子对撞机速度的探测器速度的辅助下,探测器会获得实验可探测到的GP。此外,GP的累积性可能会大大促进相关探测。

In this paper we study higher-derivative supersymmetric effective field theories focusing on the systematic procedure for the elimination of ghosts from the spectrum. Particular attention is paid to the auxiliary fields, for which the higher-derivative terms induce non-algebraic equations of motion. By employing field redefinitions or the reduction of order procedure (both in component and superfield language) we show that the auxiliary fields remain non-dynamical in the EFT and that on shell they give rise to both derivative and non-derivative corrections to the scalar action. These methods are applied to the search for a SUSY embedding of the DBI action and to the dimensional reduction of HD terms for the K"ahler moduli in type IIB string compactifications.

These lecture notes cover the Standard Model (SM) course for Part III of the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos, taught during the years 2020-2023. The course comprised 25 lectures and 4 example classes. Following a brief historical introduction, the SM is constructed from first principles. We begin by demonstrating that essentially only particles with spin/helicity $0, frac{1}{2}, 1, frac{3}{2}, 2$ can describe matter and interactions, using spacetime symmetries, soft theorems, gauge redundancies, Ward identities, and perturbative unitarity. The remaining freedom lies in the choice of the Yang-Mills gauge group and matter representations. Effective field theories (EFTs) are a central theme throughout the course, with the 4-Fermi interactions and chiral perturbation theory serving as key examples. Both gravity and the SM itself are treated as EFTs, specifically as the SMEFT (Standard Model Effective Field Theory). Key phenomenological aspects of the SM are covered, including the Higgs mechanism, Yukawa couplings, the CKM matrix, the GIM mechanism, neutrino oscillations, running couplings, and asymptotic freedom. The discussion of anomalies and their non-trivial cancellations in the SM is detailed. Simple examples of calculations, such as scattering amplitudes and decay rates, are provided. The course concludes with a brief overview of the limitations of the SM and an introduction to the leading proposals for physics beyond the Standard Model.
这些讲义涵盖了 2020-2023 年期间讲授的剑桥数学三科课程第三部分的标准模型(SM)课程。该课程包括 25 个讲座和 4 个示例课。在简短的历史介绍之后,我们从第一原理出发构建了标准模型。首先,我们利用时空对称性、软定理、量规冗余、沃德等效性和微扰统一性,证明基本上只有自旋/斜率为$0,frac{1}{2}, 1, frac{3}{2},2$的粒子才能描述物质和相互作用。其余的自由度在于对杨-米尔斯规规群和物质表征的选择。有效场理论(EFTs)是整个课程的核心主题,4-费米相互作用和手性扰动理论是主要的例子。引力和SM本身都被视为EFT,特别是SMEFT(标准模型有效场理论)。内容涉及 SM 的关键现象学方面,包括希格斯机制、尤卡瓦耦合、CKM 矩阵、GIM 机制、中微子振荡、运行耦合和渐近自由。详细讨论了 SM 中的反常现象及其非难对消。课程还提供了简单的计算实例,如散射振幅和衰变率。课程最后简要概述了 SM 的局限性,并介绍了关于标准模型之外物理学的主要建议。

We consider protected operators with the same conformal dimensions in the ultraviolet and infrared fixed point. We derive a sum rule for the difference between the two-point function coefficient of these operators in the ultraviolet and infrared fixed point which depends on the two-point function of the scalar operator. In even dimensional conformal field theories, scalar operators with exactly integer conformal dimensions are associated with Type-B conformal anomalies. The sum rule, in these cases, computes differences between Type-B anomaly coefficients. We argue the positivity of this difference in cases in which the conformal manifold contains weakly coupled theories. The results are tested in free theories as well as in $mathcal N = 2$ superconformal QCD, necklace quivers and holographic RG flows. We further derive sum rules for currents and stress tensor two-point functions.

Motivated by string theory scenarios, we study the optical aspect of AdS black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. Concretely, we investigate and examine the shadows and the deflection angle of light rays by such cosmological black holes. Concerning the shadows, we first deal with the non-rotating solutions. In particular, we obtain perfect circular shadows where their sizes are controlled by the involved parameter including the charge and the cosmological constant. Combining the Newman-Janis formalism and the Hamilton-Jacobi algorithm, we approach the rotating black hole solutions using real curves. Among others, we observe that the size and shape shadows depend on the rotating parameter and the remaining ones. To make contact with Event Horizon Telescope observational data, we show that certain constrains should be imposed on such parameters. Then, we study the behaviors of the light rays near to such cosmological black holes by computing the deflection angle in terms of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory parameters. Specifically, we reveal that the effect of the cosmological constant on the deflection angle changes as the coupling between the black hole parameters is adjusted. When the rotation parameter is introduced, we observe this effect becomes similar to that of the cosmological constant in ordinary AdS black holes.

Recently, the complete landscape of three-family supersymmetric Pati-Salam models from intersecting D6-branes on a type IIA $mathbb{T}^6/(mathbb{Z}_2times mathbb{Z}_2)$ orientifold has been enumerated consisting of 33 independent models with distinct gauge coupling relations at the string scale. Here, we study the phenomenology of all such models by providing the detailed particle spectra and the analysis of the possible 3-point and the 4-point Yukawa interactions in order to accommodate all standard-model fermion masses and mixings. We find that only 17 models contain viable Yukawa textures to explain quarks masses, charged-leptons' masses, neutrino-masses, quarks' mixings and leptons' mixings. These viable models split into four classes, viz. a single model with 3 Higgs fields from the bulk and sixteen models with either 6, 9 or 12 Higgs from the $mathcal{N}=2$ sector. The models perform successively better with the increasing number of Higgs pairs. Remarkably, the class of models with 12 Higgs naturally predicts the Dirac-type neutrino masses in normal ordering consistent with both the experimental constraints as well as the bounds from the swampland program.

Starting from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the Schwarzschild black hole interior, which is derived from a Hamiltonian formulated in terms of canonical phase space coordinates, we show that by applying a simple reparametrization, this equation can be expressed as the eigenvalue equation of a quantum linear harmonic oscillator. Within the standard quantization framework, we find that the resulting wave function diverges in the region of the classical singularity, and the expectation value of the Kretschmann scalar is undefined for all states within the black hole. However, when we apply the minimal uncertainty approach to the quantization process, we obtain a wave function that is both well-defined and square-integrable. Additionally, the expectation value of the Kretschmann scalar for these states remains finite throughout the black hole's interior, suggesting that the classical singularity is resolved in this approach, replaced it by a minimum radius.

We identify the universal mechanism behind the thermalization of (1+1)d QFTs at high and low temperatures. Viewing these theories as CFTs perturbed by relevant or irrelevant deformations, we show that conformal perturbation theory in the thermal state breaks down at late times allowing for the emergence of hydrodynamics. This breakdown occurs universally due to the unsuppressed exchange of stress tensors near the lightcone. Furthermore, for theories with central charge $crightarrowinfty$ we solve for the emergent hydrodynamic theory to all orders in the gradient expansion by arguing that all transport parameters appearing in two-point functions have universal expressions in terms of the scaling dimension $Delta$ of the perturbation. The radius of convergence of the hydrodynamic dispersion relations provides an early time cutoff for hydrodynamics, which agrees with the time scale at which conformal perturbation theory breaks down.

In this work we investigate several phenomenological and technical aspects related to electroweak (EW) corrections at a high-energy muon collider, focusing on direct production processes (no VBF configurations). We study in detail the accuracy of the Sudakov approximation, in particular the Denner-Pozzorini algorithm, comparing it with exact calculations at NLO EW accuracy. We also assess the relevance of resumming EW Sudakov logarithms (EWSL) at 3 and 10 TeV collisions. Furthermore, we scrutinise the impact of additional Heavy Boson Radiation (HBR), namely the weak emission of $W, Z$, and Higgs bosons in inclusive and semi-inclusive configurations. All results are obtained via the fully automated and publicly available code MadGraph5_aMC@NLO.

The construction of general amplitudes satisfying symmetries and $S$-matrix constraints has been the primary tool in studying the spectrum of hadrons for over half a century. In this work, we present a new parameterization, which can fulfill many expectations of $S$-matrix and Regge theory and connects the essential physics of hadron scattering in the resonance region and in asymptotic limits. In this construction, dynamical information is entirely contained in Regge trajectories that generalize resonance poles in the complex energy plane to moving poles in the angular momentum plane. We highlight the salient features of the model, compare with existing literature on dispersive and dual amplitudes, and benchmark the formalism with an initial numerical application to the $rho$ and $sigma/f_0(500)$ mesons in $pipi$ scattering.
