For spatial volumes below a critical value in D compact dimensions, a new bounce distinct from Coleman's O(D) bubble mediates false vacuum decay, yielding homogeneous configurations and enhanced rates.

Different dimensional regularization schemes agree with each other and with unitarity; new analytic eta regulators simplify the work and fix the imaginary part of one-loop coefficients by the logarithmic running of the real part under scale invariance and Bunch-Davies conditions.
Stable flat solutions in scale-invariant scalar-tensor theories carry a non-vanishing cosmological constant unless the quartic coupling vanishes, and this vanishing is not radiatively protected, making a residual CC generic.
A 2D disordered O(N) sigma model at large N exhibits a low-temperature spin glass phase with finite Edwards-Anderson parameter and approximate scaling in the dynamical two-point function.
Hartree quantum fluctuations in 3+1D simulations of the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model produce a regime where fluctuations carry significant Noether charge, periodic charge exchange occurs, and some classically stable Q-balls become unstable.
Holographic analysis of Romans supergravity solutions with Abelian magnetic flux yields a family of confining 4D duals featuring a flux-driven first-order deconfinement transition and two parametrically light, nearly degenerate scalar bound states near the transition.
The ACGT order-of-limits prescription fails to reproduce the correct θ-dependent energy spectrum in the quantum rotor and quantum pendulum.
Bubble collisions during a first-order phase transition at the end of inflation can generate the observed dark matter abundance in a restricted region of parameter space via direct production and spectator decays.
A rank-4 tensor gauge theory yields emergent fracton strings with a new generalised dipole conservation law for closed strings and reduces to linearised area-metric gravity in a suitable limit.
Vertex operators of a chiral boson realize dichotomic bounded Hermitian operators that saturate the Tsirelson bound of the Bell-CHSH inequality in the vacuum.
Develops a Functorial QFT approach and applies it to analyze the O(N) model in AdS, focusing on crossed-channel diagram contributions to conformal block decomposition in the non-singlet sector.
A review of thermal modifications to light and heavy hadron properties via imaginary-time formalism, effective field theories, unitarized approaches, and lattice QCD, with links to heavy-ion phenomenology.
Review classifies QCD axion models extending the standard mass-coupling window and updates bounds from cosmology, astrophysics, and experiments.
