[HTML][HTML] The 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet theory of gravity: a review

PGS Fernandes, P Carrilho, T Clifton… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the topic of 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (4DEGB) gravity, which has been the
subject of considerable interest over the past two years. Our review begins with a general …

Review of the no-boundary wave function

JL Lehners - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
When the universe is treated as a quantum system, it is described by a wave function. This
wave function is a function not only of the matter fields, but also of spacetime. The no …

Lectures on the string landscape and the Swampland

NB Agmon, A Bedroya, MJ Kang, C Vafa - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.06187, 2022 - arxiv.org
We provide an overview of the string landscape and the Swampland program. Our review of
the string landscape covers the worldsheet and spacetime perspectives, including vacua …

Axion cosmology

DJE Marsh - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
Axions comprise a broad class of particles that can play a major role in explaining the
unknown aspects of cosmology. They are also well-motivated within high energy physics …

Exploring 2-group global symmetries

C Córdova, TT Dumitrescu, K Intriligator - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We analyze four-dimensional quantum field theories with continuous 2-group
global symmetries. At the level of their charges, such symmetries are identical to a product of …

Superradiance in string theory

VM Mehta, M Demirtas, C Long… - … of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We perform an extensive analysis of the statistics of axion masses and interactions in
compactifications of type IIB string theory, and we show that black hole superradiance …

A search for ultralight axions using precision cosmological data

R Hlozek, D Grin, DJE Marsh, PG Ferreira - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
Ultralight axions (ULAs) with masses in the range 1 0-33 eV≤ ma≤ 1 0-20 eV are motivated
by string theory and might contribute to either the dark-matter or dark-energy densities of the …

[HTML][HTML] Data science applications to string theory

F Ruehle - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We first introduce various algorithms and techniques for machine learning and data science.
While there is a strong focus on neural network applications in unsupervised, supervised …

The low-energy frontier of particle physics

J Jaeckel, A Ringwald - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Most embeddings of the Standard Model into a more unified theory, in particular those
based on supergravity or superstrings, predict the existence of a hidden sector of particles …

[HTML][HTML] Review of particle physics

K Nakamura - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and …, 2010 - bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar
This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous
editions, plus 2158 new measurements from 551 papers, we list, evaluate, and average …
