We explore the available parameter space of the minimal vectorial standard model. In this theory, the gauge currents are initially vectorial but the Higgs sector produces chiral mass eigenstates, leading to a set of heavy right-handed mirror particles. We describe the phenomenology of the residual parameter space and suggest that the model will be readily tested at the LHC.

Dark sector production and baryogenesis from not quite black holes *

Ufuk Aydemir, Jing Ren

Summary: This paper examines the scenario in which the majority of dark matter is composed of particles produced by the evaporation of primordial 2-2-holes, with the remnant contribution being secondary. The products with sufficiently light mass may contribute to the number of relativistic degrees of freedom in the early universe. Additionally, 2-2-hole evaporation can produce particles responsible for baryon asymmetry.

Causality and gravity

John F. Donoghue, Gabriel Menezes

Summary: It is shown that uncertainty in the causal structure of field theory is inevitable when quantum gravity is involved, including the ill-definition of lightcones. This uncertainty is small in the effective field theory regime but grows with energy, representing an unknown factor for a generic UV completion. The mechanisms uncovered in effective field theory and quadratic gravity could be common features of quantum gravity.

Nonperturbative effects in the Standard Model with gauged 1-form symmetry

Mohamed M. Anber, Erich Poppitz

Summary: This study investigates the Standard Model with gauged Z(N=2,3,6)((1)) subgroups of its Z(6)((1)) 1-form global symmetry, showing the existence of self-dual instantons of fractional topological charge on a finite T-3. However, the contribution of these instantons is suppressed by the small hypercharge coupling unless the torus size is sub-Planckian or additional matter is added above the weak scale. These results are discussed in relation to cosmological constraints on torus size.

On thermodynamics of compact objects

Ufuk Aydemir, Jing Ren

Summary: With the progress in observing astrophysical black holes, it is crucial to understand the physics of strongly gravitating horizonless objects. This paper focuses on self-gravitating compact systems without event horizons, exploring their thermodynamic behavior without relying on field equations. The conventional first law of thermodynamics is retrieved, and connections to black hole thermodynamics are discussed.

Summary: This study constructs analytical self-dual Yang-Mills fractional instanton solutions on a four-torus. These solutions have topological charges and exhibit intricate moduli structures. Some solutions have non-compact moduli spaces, while others have compact moduli spaces.

Nonlocal partner to the cosmological constant

John F. Donoghue

Summary: It is demonstrated that quantum corrections from a massive particle lead to the generation of a nonlocal term in the gravitational effective action, similar to the cosmological constant but with a much larger fixed coefficient that cannot be fine-tuned. This interaction is effective at scales above the particle's mass, and poses challenges to its interpretation.

Cosmological constant and the use of cutoffs

John F. Donoghue

Summary: This paper discusses the contributions to the cosmological constant and how they vanish in perturbation theory, introducing a new interaction in path integral treatment to reduce the sensitivity of the cosmological constant to high-energy cutoffs. However, this does not solve the cosmological constant problem, and challenges some common motivations for supersymmetry and results of the asymptotic safety program.

Ostrogradsky instability can be overcome by quantum physics

John F. Donoghue, Gabriel Menezes

Summary: In theories with higher time derivatives, the Hamiltonian analysis predicts an instability, but this instability can be avoided in some cases. The Hamiltonian treatment does not correspond to the way these theories are treated in quantum field theory.
