Graphle: Interactive exploration of large, dense graphs
AbstractBackgroundA wide variety of biological data can be modeled as network structures, including experimental results (e.g. protein-protein interactions), computational predictions (e.g. functional...
View ArticleCollective quartics from simple groups
AbstractThis article classifies Little Higgs models that have collective quartic couplings. There are two classes of collective quartics: Special Cosets and Special Quartics. After taking into account...
View ArticleA microscopic theory of gauge mediation
AbstractWe construct models of indirect gauge mediation where the dynamics responsible for breaking supersymmetry simultaneously generates a weakly coupled subsector of messengers. This provides a...
View ArticleNew dynamics and dualities in supersymmetric chiral gauge theories
AbstractWe analyze the phase structure of supersymmetric chiral gauge theories with gauge group SU(N), an antisymmetric, and F ≤ N + 3 flavors, in the presence of a cubic superpotential. When F = N + 3...
View ArticlePhases of N=1 supersymmetric chiral gauge theories
AbstractWe analyze the phases of supersymmetric chiral gauge theories with an anti-symmetric tensor and (anti)fundamental flavors, in the presence of a classically marginal superpotential deformation....
View ArticleJet dipolarity: top tagging with color flow
AbstractA new jet observable, dipolarity, is introduced that can distinguish whether a pair of subjets arises from a color singlet source. This observable is incorporated into the HEPTopTagger and is...
View ArticleA test for emergent dynamics
AbstractA generalization of a-maximization is proposed that maximizes a subject to inequalities rather than equalities. An implication of this conjecture is that in the absence of emergent symmetries,...
View ArticleLearning how to count: a high multiplicity search for the LHC
AbstractWe introduce a search technique that is sensitive to a broad class of signals with large final state multiplicities. Events are clustered into large radius jets and jet substructure techniques...
View ArticleMinimal signatures of naturalness
AbstractWe study the naturalness problem using a model independent bottom up approach by considering models where only the interaction terms needed to cancel the Higgs quadratic divergences are...
View ArticleSupersymmetric defect models and mirror symmetry
AbstractWe study supersymmetric field theories in three space-time dimensions doped by various configurations of electric charges or magnetic fluxes. These are supersymmetric avatars of impurity...
View ArticleEmergent Fermi surfaces, fractionalization and duality in supersymmetric QED
AbstractWe study the physics of 3d supersymmetric abelian gauge theories (with small supersymmetry breaking perturbations) at finite density. Using mirror symmetry, which provides a natural...
View ArticleUnbroken SU(2) at a 100 TeV collider
AbstractA future 100 TeV pp collider will explore energies much higher than the scale of electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking. In this paper we study some of the phenomenological consequences of this...
View ArticleTowards cogenesis via Asymmetric Freeze-In: the χ who came-in from the cold
AbstractIn models of freeze-in the dark matter (DM) is decoupled from the visible sector and initially has a depleted number density. The hidden and visible sectors are connected only via a feeble...
View ArticleProbable or improbable universe? Correlating electroweak vacuum instability...
AbstractMeasurements of the Higgs boson and top quark masses indicate that the Standard Model Higgs potential becomes unstable around ΛI∼ 1011 GeV. This instability is cosmologically relevant since...
View ArticleChallenges for the Nelson-Barr mechanism
AbstractThe axion and mu = 0 solutions to the strong CP problem have been subject to the most careful scrutiny and critique. Basic theoretical issues include hierarchy and fine-tuning problems, quality...
View ArticleBaryogenesis in a CP invariant theory
AbstractWe consider baryogenesis in a model which has a CP invariant Lagrangian, CP invariant initial conditions and does not spontaneously break CP at any of the minima. We utilize the fact that...
View ArticleSolving the wrong hierarchy problem
AbstractMany theories require augmenting the Standard Model with additional scalar fields with large order one couplings. We present a new solution to the hierarchy problem for these scalar fields. We...
View ArticleA collider observable QCD axion
AbstractWe present a model where the QCD axion is at the TeV scale and visible at a collider via its decays. Conformal dynamics and strong CP considerations account for the axion coupling strongly...
View ArticleRelaxation from particle production
AbstractWe consider using particle production as a friction force by which to implement a “Relaxion” solution to the electroweak hierarchy problem. Using this approach, we are able to avoid...
View ArticleA clockwork theory
AbstractThe clockwork is a mechanism for generating light particles with exponentially suppressed interactions in theories which contain no small parameters at the fundamental level. We develop a...
