In this talk, after some review of axion physics, I would like to discuss our recent work about a new framework of grand unification that is equipped with an axion solution to the strong CP problem without a domain wall … Read More
The leading order quantum corrections in quantum field theory appear in the form of functional determinants, and their evaluation is very important in theoretical and phenomenological studies. We propose an efficient regularization method using the heat kernel coefficients. It enables … Read More
Life is a self-sustaining system that continuously proliferates by synthesizing membrane molecules from external raw materials, thereby enabling vesicle growth and division. Such living systems exist in a state markedly distinct from conventional physical systems, and elucidating the fundamental differences … Read More
The existence of dark matter in the universe is an unavoidable fact while the nature of it still remains an unresolved mystery. We here try to explore the possibilities of having particle dark matter through different level of detection prospect. … Read More
Baryon and lepton number are excellent low-energy symmetries of the Standard Model (SM) that tightly constrain the form of its extensions. In this paper we investigate the possibility that these accidental symmetries are violated in the deep UV, in such … Read More
Unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix is one of the cornerstones of the Standard Model. The unitarity constraint that involves the top-row matrix elements, $|V_{ud}|^2+|V_{us}|^2+|V_{ub}|^2=1$ is particularly important because all elements are measured very precisely permitting a test … Read More
This seminar will give an introduction to and status update of the Hubble tension, the 6 sigma discrepancy between the two most precise methods for measuring the expansion rate of our Universe. The most promising resolutions of the tension employ … Read More
