The gauge/gravity duality states that gravity and quantum spacetime emerge from a quantum gauge theory, which lives at the boundary between both theories. Over the past 25 years, this duality, with ...

There is a recent proposal of identifying the Higgs particle of the Standard Model as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson. This new broken symmetry introduces new particles and new interactions. Among ...

ABSTRACT: A specific structure of Standard Model (SM) particles is proposed and investigated. According to this proposal, the precursor of an elementary particle is a de Sitter space tangent to ...

We study the dynamics of Abelian gauge fields invariant under transverse diffeomorphisms (TDiff) in cosmological contexts. We show that in the geometric optics approximation, very much as for Diff ...

Harald Fox receives funding from UKRI. Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, has died aged 94. He was always a modest man, especially when considering that ...

An experiment recently conducted at CERN using its Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector has led to new high-precision measurements involving a key component of the Standard Model of physics. The ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...
