Title: Standard model irreps as an extension of 4-momentum: our first attempt Abstract: In modern formalisms, 4-momenta are often described as 2×2 hermitian matrices, H_2(C). Here we propose embedding the standard model’s full set of irreducible representations inside… Read More

Title: Universal Statistics of Vortices in a Holographic Superconductor: Beyond the Kibble-Zurek Mechanism Abstract: Traversing a continuous phase transition at a finite rate leads to the breakdown of adiabatic dynamics and the formation of topological defects, as predicted… Read More

Title: Field-space Surprises in Multi-field Preheating Abstract: I will discuss preheating in multi-field models of inflation with a curved fieldspace manifold, focusing on two well-studied families of models. The first includes Higgs inflation and models where the fields… Read More
