Z Cao, F Aharonian, Q An, Axikegu, YX Bai, YW Bao… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission, mainly produced via interactions between cosmic rays
and the interstellar medium and/or radiation field, is a very important probe of the …

Probing vector hair of black holes with extreme-mass-ratio inspirals

D Liang, R Xu, ZF Mai, L Shao - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The bumblebee gravity model, with a vector field nonminimally coupled to gravity, is a
natural extension of the Einstein-Maxwell theory. In this theory, a black hole can carry a …

Fractional Chern insulators versus nonmagnetic states in twisted bilayer

J Yu, J Herzog-Arbeitman, M Wang, O Vafek… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Fractionally filled Chern bands with strong interactions may give rise to fractional Chern

Polarizations of gravitational waves in the bumblebee gravity model

D Liang, R Xu, X Lu, L Shao - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Lorentz violation modifies the dispersion relation of gravitational waves (GWs), and induces
birefringence and anisotropy in propagation. Our study shows that Lorentz violation can also …

Explaining the GeV Antiproton Excess, GeV -Ray Excess, and -Boson Mass Anomaly in an Inert Two Higgs Doublet Model

CR Zhu, MY Cui, ZQ Xia, ZH Yu, X Huang, Q Yuan… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
For the newly discovered W-boson mass anomaly, one of the simplest dark matter (DM)
models that can account for the anomaly without violating other astrophysical and …

Probing the inflationary moduli space with gravitational waves

S Kawai, J Kim - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We investigate the spectrum of gravitational waves arising from primordial inflation in the
presence of a string-theoretical higher-curvature correction, specifically, the Gauss-Bonnet …

Absence of mobility edges in mosaic Wannier-Stark lattices

S Longhi - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Mobility edges, separating localized from extended states, are known to arise in the single-
particle energy spectrum of certain one-dimensional models with quasiperiodic disorder …

Position-dependent excitations and UV/IR mixing in the rank-2 toric code and its low-energy effective field theory

SD Pace, XG Wen - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We investigate how symmetry and topological order are coupled in the (2+ 1)–dimensional
ZN rank-2 toric code for general N, which is an exactly solvable point in the Higgs phase of a …

Primordial black holes from Higgs inflation with a Gauss-Bonnet coupling

R Kawaguchi, S Tsujikawa - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Primordial black holes (PBHs) can be the source for all or a part of today's dark matter
density. Inflation provides a mechanism for generating the seeds of PBHs in the presence of …
