    • Quantum tunnelling, real-time dynamics and Picard-Lefschetz thimbles 

      Mou, Zonggang; Saffin, Paul M.; Tranberg, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11)
      We follow up the work, where in light of the Picard-Lefschetz thimble approach, we split up the real-time path integral into two parts: the initial density matrix part which can be represented via an ensemble of initial ...
    • Quarkonium phenomenology from a generalised Gauss law 

      Lafferty, David; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05)
      We present an improved analytic parametrisation of the complex in-medium heavy quark potential derived rigorously from the generalised Gauss law. To this end we combine in a self-consistent manner a non-perturbative vacuum ...

      Berjawi, S.; Ferapontov, E.V.; Kruglikov, Boris; Novikov, V.S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Einstein–Weyl geometry is a triple (D,g,ω) where D is a symmetric connection, [g] is a conformal structure and ω is a covector such that ∙ connection D preserves the conformal class [g], that is, Dg=ωg ; ∙ trace-free part ...
    • Simulations of "tunnelling of the 3rd kind" 

      Mou, Zonggang; Saffin, Paul M.; Tognarelli, Paul; Tranberg, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-07)
      We consider the phenomenon of “tunnelling of the 3rd kind” [1], whereby a magnetic field may traverse a classically impenetrable barrier by pair creation of unimpeded quantum fermions. These propagate through the barrier ...
    • Simulations of a bubble wall interacting with an electroweak plasma 

      Mou, Zong-Gang; Saffin, Paul M.; Tranberg, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02)
      We perform large-scale real-time simulations of a bubble wall sweeping through an out-of-equilibrium plasma. The scenario we have in mind is the electroweak phase transition, which may be first order in extensions of the ...
    • Simulations of Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis: finding the optimal quench time 

      Mou, Zonggang; Saffin, Paul M.; Tranberg, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-07)
      We revisit the numerical computation of the baryon asymmetry from Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis given the physical Higgs mass. We investigate the dependence of the asymmetry on the speed at which electroweak symmetry ...
    • Simulations of Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis: hypercharge U(1) and the creation of helical magnetic fields 

      Mou, Zonggang; Saffin, Paul M.; Tranberg, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06)
      We perform numerical simulations of Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis, including for the first time in the Bosonic sector the full electroweak gauge group SU(2) × U(1) and CP-violation. We find that the maximum generated baryon ...
    • Soft Interactions in Cold Quark Matter 

      Gorda, Tyler; Kurkela, Eero Aleksi; Paatelainen, Risto; Säppi, Saga; Vuorinen, Aleksi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)
      Accurate knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of zero-temperature, high-density quark matter plays an integral role in attempts to constrain the behavior of the dense QCD matter found inside neutron-star cores, ...
    • Soft photon propagation in a hot and dense medium to next-to-leading order 

      Gorda, Tyler; Kurkela, Eero Aleksi; Österman, Juuso; Paatelainen, Risto; Säppi, Saga; Schicho, Philipp; Seppänen, Kaapo; Vuorinen, Aleksi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We present the first complete calculation of the soft photon self-energy to the next-to-leading order in a hot and/or dense ultrarelativistic plasma in QED. The calculation is performed within the real-time formalism ...
    • Stable solvers for real-time Complex Langevin 

      Alvestad, Daniel; Larsen, Rasmus Normann; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-08)
      This study explores the potential of modern implicit solvers for stochastic partial differential equations in the simulation of real-time complex Langevin dynamics. Not only do these methods offer asymptotic stability, ...
    • Statistics on Lefschetz thimbles: Bell/Leggett-Garg inequalities and the classical-statistical approximation 

      Tranberg, Anders; Millington, P; Mou, Zonggang; Saffin, Paul M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Inspired by Lefschetz thimble theory, we treat Quantum Field Theory as a statistical theory with a complex Probability Distribution Function (PDF). Such complex-valued PDFs permit the violation of Bell-type inequalities, ...
    • Stochastic gravitational wave background from stellar origin binary black holes in LISA 

      Babak, Stanislav; Caprini, Chiara; Figueroa, Daniel G.; Karnesis, Nikolaos; Marcoccia, Paolo; Nardini, Germano; Pieroni, Mauro; Ricciardone, Angelo; Sesana, Alberto; Torrado, Jesús (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We use the latest constraints on the population of stellar origin binary black holes (SOBBH) from LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) observations, to estimate the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) they generate in the ...
    • Stochastic inflation from quantum field theory and the parametric dependence of the effective noise amplitude 

      Andersen, Jens Oluf; Tranberg, Anders; Eriksson, Magdalena Britt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02)
      The non-linear dynamics of long-wavelength cosmological fluctuations may be phrased in terms of an effective classical, but stochastic evolution equation. The stochastic noise represents short-wavelength modes that continually ...
    • Symmetry and Equivalence in Teleparallel Gravity 

      Coley, Alan; van den Hoogen, Robert; McNutt, David Duncan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07)
      In theories such as teleparallel gravity and its extensions, the frame basis replaces the metric tensor as the primary object of study. A choice of coordinate system, frame basis, and spin-connection must be made to obtain ...

      Svanes, Eirik Eik; Acharya, Bobby S.; Kinsella, Alex (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-01)
      We consider the heterotic string on Calabi-Yau manifolds admitting a Strominger-Yau-Zaslow fibration. Upon reducing the system in the T3-directions, the Hermitian Yang-Mills conditions can then be reinterpreted as a complex ...
