Wasserstein distributionally robust optimization (DRO) has gained prominence in operations research and machine learning as a powerful method for achieving solutions with favorable out-of-sample performance. Two compelling explanations for…
Many theories of quantum gravity live in higher dimensions, and their reduction to four dimensions via mechanisms such as Kaluza-Klein compactification or brane world models have associated problems. We propose a novel mechanism of…
Natural supersymmetric theories of the weak scale are under growing pressure given present LHC constraints, raising the question of whether untuned supersymmetric (SUSY) solutions to the hierarchy problem are possible. In this paper, we…
We find a plethora of new analytic black holes and globally regular horizonless spacetimes in three dimensions. The solutions involve a single real scalar field $\phi$ which always admits a magnetic-like expression proportional to the…
The recent observational data in cosmology seem to indicate that the universe is currently expanding in an accelerated way. An intriguing interpretation of these data is that they may just be signalling that Einstein's General Relativity is…
We review the notion of the Higgs effect in the context of string theory. We find that by including this effect in time dependent backgrounds, one is led to a natural mechanism for stabilizing moduli at points of enhanced gauge symmetry. We…
Since the photon has no mass, it does not couple directly to the Higgs particle. This implies that the one-loop correction to the decay H --> \gamma\gamma\ is necessarily finite. Therefore, this correction should be calculable without…
We compare a momentum space implicit regularisation (IR) framework with other renormalisation methods which may be applied to dimension specific theories, namely Differential Renormalisation (DfR) and the BPHZ formalism. In particular, we…
Inverse problems are inherently ill-posed, suffering from non-uniqueness and instability. Classical regularization methods provide mathematically well-founded solutions, ensuring stability and convergence, but often at the cost of reduced…
We study the possible effects of classical gravitational backgrounds on the Higgs field through the modifications induced in the one-loop effective potential and the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor. We concentrate our…
We present the first complete calculation performed within the Four Dimensional Regularization scheme (FDR), namely the loop-induced on-shell amplitude for the Higgs boson decay into two photons in an arbitrary R_csi gauge. FDR is a new…
Recently, we have remarked that the main effect of Quantum Gravity(QG) will be to modify the measure of integration of loop integrals in a renormalizable Quantum Field Theory. In the Standard Model this approach leads to definite…
To describe the non-equilibrium dynamics of random systems, we have recently introduced (C. Monthus and T. Garel, arxiv:0802.2502) a 'strong disorder renormalization' (RG) procedure in configuration space that can be defined for any master…
We describe a novel approach to dimensional reduction in classical field theory. Inspired by ideas from noncommutative geometry, we introduce extended algebras of differential forms over space-time, generalized exterior derivatives and…
When constructing general relativity (GR), Einstein required 4D general covariance. In contrast, we derive GR (in the compact, without boundary case) as a theory of evolving 3-dimensional conformal Riemannian geometries obtained by imposing…
The configuration space of general relativity is superspace - the space of all Riemannian 3-metrics modulo diffeomorphisms. However, it has been argued that the configuration space for gravity should be conformal superspace - the space of…
The novel functional dimensional regularization (FDR) scheme has proven capable of yielding results that are competitive with the state-of-the-art in the computation of critical exponents in $d=3$, while also reproducing those from the…

We propose a model of a confining dark sector, dark technicolor, that communicates with the Standard Model through the Higgs portal. In this model electroweak symmetry breaking and dark matter share a common origin, and the electroweak…
