    Quantum chaos inside Black Holes

    Full text link
    We show how semiclassical black holes can be reinterpreted as an effective geometry, composed of a large ensamble of horizonless naked singularities (eventually smoothed at the Planck scale). We call this new items {\it frizzyballs}, which can be rigorously defined by euclidean path integral approach. This has interesting implications regarding information paradoxes. We demonstrate that infalling information will chaotically propagate inside this system before going to the full quantum gravity regime (Planck scale).Comment: More references added, few typos correcte

    Quantum chaos inside space-temporal Sinai billiards

    Full text link
    We discuss general aspects of non-relativistic quantum chaos theory of scattering of a quantum particle on a system of a large number of naked singularities. We define such a system space-temporal Sinai billiard We dis- cuss the problem in semiclassical approach. We show that in semiclassical regime the formation of trapped periodic semiclassical orbits inside the sys- tem is unavoidable. This leads to general expression of survival probabilities and scattering time delays, expanded to the chaotic Pollicott-Ruelle reso- nances. Finally, we comment on possible generalizations of these aspects to relativistic quantum field theory.Comment: Version accepted in Int.

    'Exotic vector-like pair' of color-triplet scalars

    Full text link
    We propose a minimal extension of Standard Model, generating a Majorana mass for neutron, connected with a mechanism of Post-Sphaleron Baryogenesis. We consider an `exotic vector-like pair' of color-triplet scalars, an extra Majorana fermion ψ\psi, and a scalar field Ο•\phi, giving mass to ψ\psi. The vector-like pair is defined `exotic' because of a peculiar mass term of the color-triplet scalars, violating Baryon number as Ξ”B=1\Delta B=1. A Post-Sphaleron Baryogenesis is realized through Ο•\phi-decays into six quarks (antiquarks), or through ψ\psi-decays into three quarks (antiquarks). This model suggests some intriguing B-violating signatures, testable in the next future, in Neutron-Antineutron physics and LHC. We also discuss limits from FCNC. Sterile fermion can also be light as 1βˆ’100 GeV1-100\, \rm GeV. In this case, the sterile fermion could be (meta)-stable and nβˆ’nΛ‰n-\bar{n} oscillation can be indirectly generated by two nβˆ’Οˆn-\psi, Οˆβˆ’nΛ‰\psi-\bar{n} oscillations, without needing of an effective Majorana mass for neutron. Majorana fermion ψ\psi can be a good candidate for WIMP-like dark matter.Comment: Sections 2.1 and 3 revisited; New Fig.5 of jj+Missing Energy channel; more references about LHC and FCNCs. Essential results on Neutron-Antineutron oscillations and Post-Sphaleron Baryogenesis are the same. More comments about string-inspred models. Accepted by JHE

    Dynamical R-parity violations from exotic instantons

    Full text link
    We show how R-parity can be dynamically broken by non-perturbative quantum gravity effects. In particular, in D-brane models, Exotic instantons provide a simple and calculable mechanism for the generation of R-parity violating bilinear, trilinear and higher order superpotential terms. We show examples of MSSM-like D-brane models, in which one Exotic Instanton induces only one term among the possible R-parity violating superpotentials. Naturally, the idea can be generalized for other gauge groups. As a consequence, a dynamical violation of R-parity does not necessarily destabilize the proton, i.e. a strong fine tuning is naturally avoided, in our case. For example, a Lepton violating superpotential term can be generated without generating Baryon violating terms, and viceversa. This has strong implications in phenomenology: neutrino, neutron-antineutron, electric dipole moments, dark matter and LHC physics.Comment: Version accepted by Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physic

    More about the Instanton/Soliton/Kink correspondence

    Full text link
    We demonstrate that all gauge instantons in a d=3+1d=3+1 Yang-Mills theory, with generic topological vacuum charge K, correspond to soliton solutions and kink scalar fields in d=4+1d=4+1 space-time

    Unitarization and Causalization of Non-local quantum field theories by Classicalization

    Full text link
    We suggest that classicalization can cure non-local quantum field theories from acausal divergences in scattering amplitudes, restoring unitarity and causality. In particular, in "trans-non-local" limit, the formation of non-perturbative classical configurations, called {\it classicalons}, in scatterings like ϕϕ→ϕϕ\phi\phi\rightarrow \phi\phi, can avoid typical acausal divergences.Comment: More references on non-local QFT and quantum gravity added, few typos corrected.

    Super-light baryphotons, Weak Gravity Conjecture and Exotic instantons in Neutron-Antineutron transitions

    Full text link
    In companion papers \cite{Addazi:2015pia,Addazi:2016rgo}, we have discussed current bounds of a new super-light baryo-photon, associated to a U(1)Bβˆ’LU(1)_{B-L} gauged, from neutron-antineutron current data, which are competitive with E\"otv\"os type experiments. Here, we discuss the implications of a possible baryo-photon detection in string theory and quantum gravity. The discovery of a very light gauge boson should imply the violation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture, carrying deep consequences in our understanding of holography, quantum gravity and black holes. On the other hand, we show how the detection of a baryo-photon would also exclude the generation of all Bβˆ’LB{-}L violating operators from Exotic Stringy Instantons. We will disclaim the common statement in literature that neutron-antineutron may indirectly test at least a 300βˆ’1000 TeV300-1000\, \rm TeV scale. Searches of baryo-photons can provide indirect informations of the Planck (or String) scale (quantum black holes, holography and non-perturbative stringy effects). This strongly motivates new neutron-antineutron experiments with adjustable magnetic fields dedicated to the detection of super-light baryo-photons

    Chaotization inside Quantum Black Holes

    Full text link
    We show how the horizon geometry and entropy of a Semiclassical Black Hole can be reconstructed from a system of N>>1N>>1 horizonless conic singularities with average opening angle at the horizon ⟨Θ⟩=2Ο€\langle \Theta \rangle=2\pi. This conclusion is strongly motivated by a generalized Wheeler-De Witt equation for quantum black holes. We will argument how infalling information will be inevitably chaotized in these systems. A part of the initial probability density will be trapped inside the system, in back and forth scatterings among conic singularities, for a characteristic time close to the Semiclassical BH life-time. Further implications on information paradoxes are discussed.Comment: Published version, Electron.J.Theor.Phys. 12 (2015) 34,

    Limiting First Order Phase Transitions in Dark Gauge Sectors from Gravitational Waves experiments

    Full text link
    We discuss the possibility to indirectly test First Order Phase Transitions of hidden sectors. We study the interesting example of a {\it dark standard model} with a deformed parameter space in the Higgs potential. A dark electroweak phase transition can be limited from next future experiments like eLISA and DECIGO.Comment: More references added, notations clarified. Accepted in Mod.Phys.Lett.
