  1. Twisted Feynman Integrals: from generating functions to spin-resummed post-Minkowskian dynamics

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Twisted Feynman integrals are introduced with graded Symanzik polynomials, classified as exponential periods, and shown to have geometry not inferable from generalized Baikov leading singularities.

  2. Path integral measure and RG equations for gravity

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    With a corrected path-integral measure and an on-shell running scale, the Einstein-Hilbert truncation of quantum gravity has only the Gaussian fixed point, removing the asymptotic safety fixed point.

  3. Scattering Observables from Few-Body Densities and Application in Light Nuclei

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    TDA factorization with public DensityScattering code and SRG-And-Back scheme yields scattering observables on 3H, 3He, 4He, 6Li from chiral potentials with uncertainties below 6%.

  4. Gravitational form factors of the Higgs boson

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The one-loop electroweak gravitational form factors of the Higgs give a finite theta2 and an energy radius r^2 approximately 1.44e-6 GeV^-2, with theta1 requiring an EFT counterterm.

  5. Diffeomorphism invariance of the effective gravitational action

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A careful calculation shows that the Fradkin-Vilkovisky path integral measure is diffeomorphism invariant, while the Fujikawa measure is not.

  6. From Nuclear Matter with Quenched $g_A$ to Compact-Star Matter with a Signal for Emergent Hidden Scale Symmetry

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper argues that quenched g_A ≈ 1 in nuclei and the pseudo-conformal sound speed v_s^2/c^2 ≈ 1/3 in compact stars are parallel signals of one emergent hidden scale symmetry.
