  1. Wormholes and the imaginary distance bound

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Wormhole effects in theories with imaginary massless scalars set an upper limit on analytic continuation of couplings to imaginary values, with string theory examples showing the low-energy theory breaks down at or be...

  2. How well can the QCD axion hide?

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Multi-axion models relax the E/N bound on QCD axion photon coupling and allow subdominant dark matter contribution, but an axion-like particle is typically visible to next-generation experiments.

  3. Sharpening the Supersymmetric Axion Weak Gravity Conjecture

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The paper verifies the bound fS/|n| ≤ (π/(2 κ_d)) sqrt((d-1)/(d-2)) for axion instantons and sharpens it to fS/|n| ≤ (1/κ_4) sqrt(7/2) for supersymmetric 4d instantons using three approaches in the string landscape.

  4. New Particles at the Z-Pole: Tera-Z factories as discovery and precision machines

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Tera-Z factories can produce millions of heavy neutral leptons and billions of axion-like particles under optimistic assumptions, turning them into exotics factories for discovery and detailed study.

  5. Assisted Fibre Inflation in Perturbative LVS

    hep-th 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Multi-field fibre inflation in perturbative LVS uses collective dynamics of several moduli to achieve viable cosmology with sub-Planckian individual field ranges given by total range divided by sqrt(n).
