Confinement with Kalb – Ramond Fields

We consider models with N U(1) gauge fields Aμ, N Kalb-Ramond fields Bn μν , an arbitrary bare action and a fixed UV cutoff Λ. Under mild assumptions these can be obtained as effective low energy theories of SU(N+1) Yang Mills theories in the maximal abelian gauge. For a large class of bare actions they can be solved in the large N limit and exhibit confinement. The confining phase is character...

Bouncing cosmology from Kalb-Ramond Braneworld

We consider a 3-brane embedded in a warped 5-dimensional background with a dilaton and a Kalb-Ramond 2-form. We show that it is possible to find static solutions of the form of charged dS/AdS-like black hole with horizon which could have a negative mass parameter. The motion of the 3-brane in this bulk generates an effective 4dimensional bouncing cosmology induced by the negative dark radiation...

The Kalb-Ramond Odderon in AdS/CFT

At high energies, elastic hadronic cross sections, such as pp, pp, πp, are dominated by vacuum exchange, which in leading order of the 1/Nc expansion has been identified as the BFKL Pomeron or its strong AdS dual the closed string Reggeized graviton [1]. However the difference of particle anti-particle cross sections are given by a so-called Odderon, carrying C = -1 vacuum quantum numbers ident...

Get yourself a mentor.

The article by Stamm and Buddeberg-Fischer underscores the importance of mentors in medical education. These researchers followed a cohort of Germanspeaking Swiss resident doctors during postgraduate specialty training. The researchers found a compelling relationship between having one or more mentors and both subjective and objective career success. Previous studies have also reported positive...
