We use a recently proposed covariant procedure to reduce the Chern-Simons action of three-dimensional higher-spin gravity to the boundary, resulting in a Lorentz covariant action for higher-order chiral scalars. After gauge-fixing, we obtain a higher-derivative action generalizing the s = 1 Floreanini-Jackiw and s = 2 Alekseev-Shatashvili actions to arbitrary spin s. For simplicity, we treat the case of general spin at the linearized level, while the full non-linear asymptotic boundary conditions are presented in component form for the SL(3, ℝ) case. Finally, we extend the spin-3 linearized analysis to a background with non-trivial higher-spin charge and show that it has a richer structure of zero modes.

Motivated by recent LHCb measurements of CP violation in Λb three body decays, we conduct an analysis of CP asymmetry in three body decays of bottom baryons utilizing U-spin symmetry. We first develop a convenient representation that facilitates the incorporation of U-spin symmetry into our analysis. By integrating weak and strong phases into the derived amplitude, we obtain the CP asymmetry and establish relationships between CP asymmetries in U-spin related decay channels. With the help of experimental measurements, we provide numerical predictions for the CP asymmetries for other decay channels, particularly Ξb0→Λπ+π− under a specific scenario. Furthermore, we provide a quantity that can be used as a null test of the SU(3) symmetry and standard model. Deviations from zero would indicate potential new physics if they exceed the expected magnitude of SU(3) breaking effects. These results are valuable for CP violation measurements in baryon decays, and can be tested in future experiments.

We present an exploratory study to determine the confinement-deconfinement transition temperature at finite θ, T_c(θ), for the 4d SU(2) pure Yang-Mills theory. Lattice numerical simulations are performed on three spatial sizes N_S = 24, 32, 48 with a fixed temporal size N_T = 8. We introduce a non-zero θ-angle by the sub-volume method to mitigate the sign problem. By taking advantage of the universality in the second order phase transition and the Binder cumulant of the order parameter, the θ-dependence of T_c is determined to be T_c(θ)/T_c(0) = 1 − 0.16(2) (θ/π)² − 0.03(4) (θ/π)⁴ up to θ ∼ 0.9 π. The reliability of the extrapolations in the sub-volume method is extensively checked. We also point out that the temperature dependence of the topological susceptibility should exhibit a singularity with the exponent for the specific heat. © The Author(s) 2025.

We demonstrate that wormholes must be entangled regardless of asymptotic boundary conditions. Assuming black hole complementarity, we argue that traversable wormholes instantiate entanglement-assisted quantum channels and that this entanglement must be present between the stretched horizons as an initial condition prior to traversability. This result demonstrates the forward direction of the ER/EPR conjectures. © 2025, CC BY.

Cosmic antideuterons are considered as one of the most promising tools for the indirect detection of dark matter due to their ultra-low astrophysical backgrounds. Currently only upper limits on the antideuteron flux exist, but advancements in experimental detection technology may soon lead to positive signals. A major source of background is the production of secondary antideuterons through collisions of cosmic rays with the surrounding medium. In this study, antideuteron production is modeled using a multiphase transport model (AMPT) coupled with a dynamical coalescence model. By applying a widely used leaky box model and incorporating specific processes, we present a new theoretical baseline for atmospheric secondary antideuteron flux, including a tertiary contribution, from primary cosmic rays interacting with Earth’s atmosphere. Our results indicate that the atmospheric antideuteron flux are within the range of various existing calculations and remain well below the upper limits set by the Balloon-borne Experiment with a Superconducting Spectrometer (BESS). The atomospheric antideuteron is found to dominate the antideuteron background at kinetic energies below 0.26 GeV/n. © 2025, CC BY.

We discuss formation of cosmic strings associated with a spontaneously broken approximate U(1) symmetry by performing classical field-theoretical simulations. An original U(1) symmetry is explicitly broken down to its subgroup ZN even before spontaneous breaking takes place. We estimate the ratio of explicit breaking to that of spontaneous breaking for which topological defects for N=1 and N=2 are formed. For N=1, a cosmic string attached to a single domain wall can be formed when the amount of the explicit breaking is 3 orders of magnitude smaller than that of the spontaneous breaking. For N=2, no matter how large the explicit breaking is, domain walls are inevitably formed as long as the temperature of the Universe is high enough to restore Z2 symmetry. In that case, cosmic strings are also inevitably formed as long as the amount of the explicit breaking is smaller than that of the spontaneous breaking.

Recently, it was shown that in the absence of gravity there exist non-O(4)-symmetric instanton solutions with finite action beyond Coleman’s instantons. In this paper, focusing on the false-vacuum decay in a single scalar field in flat Euclidean space, we provide a general discussion on O(4)-symmetric instantons that are singular at the true-vacuum bubble. We find that, for the action to remain finite without introducing a UV cutoff, the potential must be unbounded from below and take the exponential form, thereby evading Coleman’s theorem. We then consider two explicit examples of such instantons and perturbatively analyze the dynamics of small deformations around them. We find that one of them does not allow regular deformations, which indicates that the O(4) symmetric solution still gives the minimum action, while the other one is found to allow regular deformations that cost no additional action at second order in perturbation. The latter example opens up the possibility of the existence of non-O(4)-symmetric solutions with lower action if we allow singular instantons with finite action. © 2025, CC BY.

Subhalo abundance matching (SHAM) is widely used for connecting galaxies to dark matter haloes. In SHAM, galaxies and (sub-)haloes are sorted according to their mass (or mass proxy) and matched by their rank order. In this work, we show that SHAM is the solution of the optimal transport (OT) problem on empirical distributions (samples or catalogues) for any metric transport cost function. In the limit of large number of samples, it converges to the solution of the OT problem between continuous distributions. We propose SHAM-OT: a formulation of abundance matching where the halo-galaxy relation is obtained as the optimal transport plan between galaxy and halo mass functions. By working directly on these (discretized) functions, SHAM-OT eliminates the need for sampling or sorting and is solved using efficient OT algorithms at negligible compute and memory cost. Scatter in the galaxy-halo relation can be naturally incorporated through regularization of the transport plan. SHAM-OT can easily be generalized to multiple marginal distributions. We validate our method using analytical tests with varying cosmology and luminosity function parameters, and on simulated halo catalogues. The efficiency of SHAM-OT makes it particularly advantageous for Bayesian inference that requires marginalization over stellar mass or luminosity function uncertainties. © 2025, CC BY.

We investigate the dynamical collapse of Bronnikov-Ellis (BE) wormhole using the double-null formalism, where its throat is characterized by the coincidence of two curves r,u = 0 and r,v = 0. The emission of two ingoing pulses: normal scalar and phantom fields in the wormhole spacetime reveals two distinct instability scenarios: a normal scalar field triggers gravitational collapse into a black hole where the singularity r = 0 hidden by the event horizon (r,u = 0 and r,v = 0);while a phantom field drives inflationary expansion of wormhole, decoupling two asymptotic regions with the cosmological horizon (r,u = 0 and r,v = 0). The process of two scenarios can be accelerated by increasing the amplitude of pulses but can be delayed by increasing the wormhole’s mass. Additionally, the collisions of two identical pulses from ingoing and outgoing null directions in the massless BE wormhole fail to cure the instabilities because the two scenarios can still occur, but the formation of a black hole can be delayed for the collision of normal and phantom fields. Interestingly, the strategic tuning of emission timing for outgoing phantom field to collide with ingoing normal scalar field can temporarily stabilize the wormhole throat by restoring the coincidence of r,u and r,v again after their separation. This offers us valuable insights into extending the lifetime of a traversable wormhole. © 2025, CC BY.
