      Kurkela, Aleksi; van der Schee, Wilke; Wiedemann, Urs Achim; Wu, Bin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Whether, how, and to what extent solutions of Bjorken-expanding systems become insensitive to aspects of their initial conditions is of importance for heavy-ion collisions. Here we study 1+1D and phenomenologically relevant ...

      Aadne, Matthew Terje; Grøn, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-02)
      John Nash has proposed a new theory of gravity. We define a Nash-tensor equal to the curvature tensor appearing in the Nash field equations for empty space, and calculate its components for two cases: 1. A static, spherically ...

      We present the GPry algorithm for fast Bayesian inference of general (non-Gaussian) posteriors with a moderate number of parameters. GPry does not need any pre-training, special hardware such as GPUs, and is intended as a ...
    • Firewall black holes and echoes from an action principle 

      Abedi, Jahed (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      It is often said that there is no gravity theory based on local action principles giving rise to firewall black hole solutions. Additionally, Guo and Mathur [Int. J. Mod. Phys. D 31, 2242009 (2022).] have cast doubt on the ...
    • From Symmetries to Scattering Amplitudes: A Lie-algebraic categorisation of symmetry-breaking patterns that create enhanced soft limits for NG bosons 

      Bogers, Mark (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2022-11)
      The standard calculation of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory is carried out using a perturbative expansion, that at successive orders contains an escalating number of terms to calculate. The amplitudes depend ...
    • Gauging discrete symmetries of TN-theories in five dimensions 

      Acharya, Bobby; Lambert, Neil; Najjar, Marwan; Svanes, Eirik Eik; Tian, Jiahua (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      We study the gauging of a discrete ℤ3 symmetry in the five-dimensional superconformal TN theories. We argue that this leads to an infinite sequence of five-dimensional superconformal theories with either E6 × SU(N) or SU(3) ...

      McOrist, Jock; Svanes, Eirik Eik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-11)
      It is believed, but not demonstrated, that the large radius massless spectrum of a heterotic string theory compactified to four-dimensional Minkowski space should obey equations that split into ‘F-terms’ and ‘D-terms’ in ...
