ELKO fermions as dark matter candidates
We study the implications of the ELKO fermions as a cold dark matter candidate. Such fermions arise in theories that are not symmetric under the full Lorentz group. Although they do not carry electric charge, ELKOs can still couple to photons through a nonstandard interaction. They also couple to the Higgs but do not c...

Nuclear spin content and constraints on exotic spin-dependent couplings
There are numerous recent and ongoing experiments employing a variety of atomic species to search for couplings of atomic spins to exotic fields. In order to meaningfully compare these experimental results, the coupling of the exotic field to the atomic spin must be interpreted in terms of the coupling to electron, pro...

Raytracing simulations of coupled dark energy models
Dark matter and dark energy are usually assumed to couple only gravitationally. An extension to this picture is to model dark energy as a scalar field coupled directly to cold dark matter. This coupling leads to new physical effects, such as a fifth-force and a time-dependent dark matter particle mass. In this work we ...

Quantum Corrections in Galileons from Matter Loops
Galileon interactions represent a class of effective field theories that have received much attention since their inception. They can be treated in their own right as scalar field theories with a specific global shift and Galilean symmetry or as a descendant of a more fundamental theory like massive gravity. It is well...

Coupling Strength in Coulomb and Yukawa One-Component Plasmas
In a non-ideal classical Coulomb one-component plasma (OCP) all thermodynamic properties are known to depend only on a single parameter -- the coupling parameter $\Gamma$. In contrast, if the pair interaction is screened by background charges (Yukawa OCP) the thermodynamic state depends, in addition, on the range of th...

Radiative corrections to Higgs coupling constants in two Higgs doublet models
A pattern of deviations in the Standard Model (SM) like Higgs boson ($h$) couplings from their SM predictions depends on the structure of the Higgs sector and the Yukawa interaction. In particular, in Two Higgs Doublet Models (THDMs) with a softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry, different characteristic patterns of deviation in...

Moduli dynamics as a predictive tool for thermal maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills at large N
Maximally supersymmetric (p+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at large N and finite temperature, with possibly compact spatial directions, has a rich phase structure. Strongly coupled phases may have holographic descriptions as black branes in various string duality frames, or there may be no gravity dual. In this paper...

Pinning networks of coupled dynamical systems with Markovian switching couplings and event-triggered diffusions
In this paper, stability of linearly coupled dynamical systems with feedback pinning algorithm is studied. Here, both the coupling matrix and the set of pinned-nodes vary with time, induced by a continuous-time Markov chain with finite states. Event-triggered rules are employed on both diffusion coupling and feedback p...

Charge density waves and phonon-electron coupling in ZrTe$_3$ investigated by Raman spectroscopy and first-principles calculations
Charge-density-wave (CDW) order has long been interpreted as arising from a Fermi-surface instability in the parent metallic phase. While phonon-electron coupling has been suggested to influence the formation of CDW order in quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) systems, the presumed dominant importance of Fermi-surface nes...

Transient coupling relationships of the Holocene Australian monsoon
The northwest Australian summer monsoon owes a notable degree of its interannual variability to interactions with other regional monsoon systems. Therefore, changes in the nature of these relationships may contribute to variability in monsoon strength over longer time scales. Previous attempts to evaluate how proxy rec...

The running coupling of the minimal sextet composite Higgs model
We compute the renormalized running coupling of SU(3) gauge theory coupled to N_f = 2 flavors of massless Dirac fermions in the 2-index-symmetric (sextet) representation.

A system coupling and Donoghue classes of Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions
We study the impedance functions of conservative L-systems with the unbounded main operators. In addition to the generalized Donoghue class $\sM_\kappa$ of Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions considered by the authors earlier, we introduce "inverse" generalized Donoghue classes $\sM_\kappa^{-1}$ of functions satisfying a dif...

On the Interactive-Beating-Modes Model: Generation of Asymmetric Multiplet Structures and Explanation of the Blazhko Effect
This paper considers a nonlinear coupling between a radial and a nonradial mode of nearly the same frequency. The results may be of general interest, but in particular have application to the "beating-modes model" of the Blazhko effect which was recently shown to accurately reproduce the light curve of RR Lyr.

Spectrum Structure of Fermion on Bloch Branes with Two Scalar-fermion Couplings
It is known that the Bloch brane is generated by an odd scalar field $\phi$ and an even one $\chi$. In order to localize a bulk fermion on the Bloch brane, the coupling between the fermion and scalars should be introduced. { There are two localization mechanisms in the literature, the Yukawa coupling $-\eta \bar{\Psi} ...

Inverse magnetic catalysis from the properties of the QCD coupling in a magnetic field
We compute the vacuum one-loop quark-gluon vertex correction at zero temperature in the presence of a magnetic field. From the vertex function we extract the effective quark-gluon coupling and show that it grows with increasing magnetic field strength. The effect is due to a subtle competition between the color charge ...

Tricritical points in a compact $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory at strong coupling
Pure {\it compact} $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory exhibits a phase transition at gauge coupling $g \sim {\cal{O}}(1)$ separating a familiar weak coupling Coulomb phase, having free massless photons, from a strong coupling phase. However, the phase transition was found to be of first order, ruling out any nontrivial theory...

Black holes with vector hair
In this paper, we consider Einstein gravity coupled to a vector field, either minimally or non-minimally, together with a vector potential of the type $V=2\Lambda_0+\ft 12 m^2 A^2+\gamma_4 A^4$. For a simpler non-minimally coupled theory with $\Lambda_0=m=\gamma_4=0$, we obtain both extremal and non-extremal black hole...

$h\toμτ$ and muon g-2 in the alignment limit of two-Higgs-doublet model
We examine the $h\to \mu\tau$ and muon g-2 in the exact alignment limit of two-Higgs-doublet model. In this case, the couplings of the SM-like Higgs to the SM particles are the same as the Higgs couplings in the SM at the tree level, and the tree-level lepton-flavor-violating coupling $h\mu\tau$ is absent.

Non-minimally coupled dark fluid in Schwarzschild spacetime

Influence of multiplet structure on photoemission spectra of spin-orbit driven Mott insulators: application to $\bf{Sr_2IrO_4}$
Most of the low-energy effective descriptions of spin-orbit driven Mott insulators consider spin orbit coupling (SOC) as a second order perturbation to electron-electron interactions. However, when SOC is comparable to anisotropic Hund's coupling, such as in Ir, validity of this formally weak-SOC approach is not a prio...

Experimental Targets for Photon Couplings of the QCD Axion
The QCD axion's coupling to photons is often assumed to lie in a narrow band as a function of the axion mass. We demonstrate that several simple mechanisms, in addition to the photophilic clockwork axion already in the literature, can significantly extend the allowed range of couplings. Some mechanisms we present gener...

Inflation from a nonlinear magnetic monopole field nonminimally coupled to curvature
In the context of nonminimally coupled $f(R)$ gravity theories, we study early inflation driven by a nonlinear monopole magnetic field which is nonminimally coupled to curvature. In order to isolate the effects of the nonminimal coupling between matter and curvature we assume the pure gravitational sector to have the E...

Environment induced Symmetry Breaking of the Oscillation-Death State
We investigate the impact of a common external system, which we call a common environment, on the Oscillator Death (OD) states of a group of Stuart-Landau oscillators. The group of oscillators yield a completely symmetric OD state when uncoupled to the external system, i.e. the two OD states occur with equal probabilit...

Emergent Strings, Duality and Weak Coupling Limits for Two-Form Fields
We systematically analyse weak coupling limits for 2-form tensor fields in the presence of gravity. Such limits are significant for testing various versions of the Weak Gravity and Swampland Distance Conjectures, and more broadly, the phenomenon of emergence. The weak coupling limits for 2-forms correspond to certain i...
