Spinless fermions on a lattice with nearest-neighbor repulsion serve as a toy version Hubbard model, and have a symmetry-broken even/odd superlattice at half-filling. At infinite repulsion, doped holes form charged stripes which are…
We experimentally and numerically investigate the sudden expansion of fermions in a homogeneous one-dimensional optical lattice. For initial states with an appreciable amount of doublons, we observe a dynamical phase separation between…
In this letter we bring together the physics of preheating, following a period of inflation, and the dynamics of non-topological solitons, namely oscillons. We show that the oscillating condensate that makes up an oscillon can be an…
We investigate fermion production in the background of Minkowski space solutions to the equations of motion of $SU(2)$ gauge theory spontaneously broken via the Higgs mechanism. First, we attempt to evaluate the topological charge $Q$ of…
In inflationary cosmology, the particles constituting the Universe are created after inflation in the process of reheating due to their interaction with the oscillating inflaton field. In the bosonic sector, the leading channel of particle…
Recent analytic calculations on the rate for the production of a pair of massive fermions in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation plus real or virtual radiation of a pair of massless fermions are discussed. The contributions for real and virtual…
We calculate the fermion propagator in FLRW spacetimes with constant deceleration $q=\epsilon-1$, $\epsilon=-\dot{H}/H^{2}$ for excited states. For fermions whose mass is generated by a scalar field through a Yukawa coupling…
In composite Higgs models the Higgs boson arises as a pseudo-Goldstone boson from a strongly-interacting sector. Fermion mass generation is possible through partial compositeness accompanied by the appearance of new heavy fermionic…
The influence on cosmic string dynamics of fermionic massive bound states propagating in the vortex, and getting their mass only from coupling to the string forming Higgs field, is studied. Such massive fermionic currents are numerically…
We give a model-independent discussion of fermion masses in four-dimensional heterotic superstring theories. We discuss the tree level contributions and quantum corrections, including one-loop threshold effects and masses generated as a…
Non-thermal fermions can be produced non-perturbatively in the early universe during coherent oscillations of a scalar field. We explore fermion production in $\lambda\phi^{4}$ inflation through this mechanism and analyze the momentum…
Using a new parallel computing technique, we have run the largest cosmic string simulations ever performed. Our results confirm the existence of a long transient period where a non-scaling distribution of small loops is produced at lengths…
We compute scattering amplitudes of leading Regge trajectory states in open superstring theories. Highest spin states at mass level n with spin s=n+1 for bosons and s=n+1/2 for fermions are generated by particularly simple vertex operators.…
We study the gravitational production of super-Hubble-mass dark matter in the very early universe. We first review the simplest scenario where dark matter is produced mainly during slow roll inflation. Then we move on to consider the cases…
Fermion masses can be generated through four-fermion condensates when symmetries prevent fermion bilinear condensates from forming. This less explored mechanism of fermion mass generation is responsible for making four reduced staggered…
In a previous paper (hep-th/0509067) using matrix model, we showed that closed string tachyons can resolve spacelike singularity in one particular class of Misner space (with anti-periodic boundary conditions for fermions around the spatial…
The 2D Hubbard model with large repulsion is a central and yet unsolved problem in condensed matter physics for decades. The challenge appears below half filling, where the system is a doped antiferromagnet. In this regime, the fermion…
Moduli fields are generally present in superstring--inspired models. They are typically characterized by masses of the order of the supersymmetry breaking scale and by interactions of gravitational strength to ordinary matter. If stable,…
We compute the leading logarithmic behaviour of the cross-section for the production of a pseudoscalar Higgs boson in gluon-gluon fusion to all-orders in perturbation theory, in the limit of large partonic centre of mass energy. We also…
Using a simple three dimensional lattice four-fermion model we argue that massless fermions can become massive due to interactions without the need for any spontaneous symmetry breaking. Using large scale Monte Carlo calculations within our…
