Dynamical Mass Generations and Collective Excitations in the (Supersymmetric-)Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio Model and a Gauge Theory with Left-Right-Asymmetric Majorana Mass Terms

Abstract

The structure of effective potential surface of the Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with right-left asymmetric Majorana mass terms (corresponds to the single-flavor type-II seesaw situation of neutrino) is investigated. After the dynamical generation of Dirac mass, two collective modes appear similar to the case of ordinary NJL model, and the phase mode (phason), which corresponds to majoron or pion at vanishing Majorana mass parameter(s), has an excitation mass. The mechanism of generation of phason as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson is examined by a mathematical manner, summarized into a theorem (claims as the generalized Nambu-Goldstone theorem). The mass of phason is also evaluated in a supersymmetric version of the NJL-type model, and phason mass takes the order of that of axion commonly accepted today. An $SU(2_{c})$-gauge model is constructed for the context of neutrino seesaw mechanism, and the Schwinger-Dyson equation of dynamical mass functions is examined. Several physical implications such as decay modes of phason, a non-linear sigma model for phason are given. It is proposed that the method/result of this paper can be applied to an understanding on the origin of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
