Abstract

As described previously, in SU(5) gauge theory with massless left-handed $ {\bf 5 \oplus 15 \oplus 40 \oplus 45^*}$ fermions \{QUD\}, an S-Matrix is produced by infra-red anomaly dynamics that might provide an extraordinarily economic origin and unification for the Standard Model. All particles are bound-states, with dynamically generated masses, and there is no Higgs sector. In this paper, the radically different dynamical role played by the top quark is elaborated. It does not reproduce Standard Model "$ t\bar{t} $" events but, instead, these events are reproduced by the multiple vector boson decays of the $η_6$ - the remnant pseudoscalar resonance left by color sextet electroweak symmetry breaking. Evidence that the $η_6$ appears in LHC and Tevatron Z pair cross-sections is discussed. A second pseudoscalar resonance, the $η_3$, contains a $t\bar{t}$ pair and mixes with the $η_6$ via the pomeron. The mixing should give the $η_3$ a mass between the triplet and sextet scales. It could also have a decay mode pattern that is more consistent with LHC and Tevatron results than the (mass spectrum determined) pattern of the Standard Model Higgs boson that many hope has been discovered. Unfortunately, at present, there is no possibility to calculate explicit cross-sections.

Stochastic Ultralight Dark Matter Fluctuations in Pulsar Timing Arrays

Metric perturbations induced by ultralight dark matter (ULDM) fields have long been identified as a potential target for pulsar timing array (PTA) observations. Previous works have focused on the coherent oscillation of metric perturbations at the characteristic frequency set by the ULDM mass. In this work, we show that ULDM fields source low-frequency stochastic metric fluctuations and that these low-frequency fluctuations can produce distinctive detectable signals in PTA data. Using the NANOGrav 12.5-year data set and synthetic data sets mimicking present and future PTA capabilities, we show that the current and future PTA observations provide the strongest probe of ULDM density within the solar system for masses in the range of $10^{-18}\;{\rm eV}-10^{-16}\;{\rm eV}$.

On the Origin of QCD Collectivity in High-Multiplicity Jets: A Transport Model Study

The CMS Collaboration has observed an enhancement of elliptic azimuthal anisotropy ($v^{\ast}_2$) in high-multiplicity jets. To investigate its microscopic origin, we employ a hybrid transport model that couples jets generated with \textsc{PYTHIA~8} to partonic and hadronic rescattering. The analysis is performed in the jet frame, where the jet momentum defines the longitudinal axis. We characterize the initial-state geometry using the eccentricity vectors of shower partons and quantify the geometric response by correlating them with the final-state flow vectors of hadrons. By systematically varying the partonic and hadronic interactions, we find that the anisotropy enhancement is dominated by hadronic rescattering in the present model and increases with the initial eccentricity. We further classify jets using the Soft Drop variable $z_gθ_g^β$ and show that this momentum-space substructure variable is sensitive to the initial coordinate-space geometry, although the predicted substructure dependence differs from the current CMS measurement. These results support a geometry--response mechanism for collective behavior inside jets and establish jet substructure as a promising experimental handle on the initial geometry. They also motivate models that treat parton branching and transport interactions concurrently.

Probing Proton Structure via Physics-Guided Neural Networks in Holographic QCD

Describing the proton structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ across the nonperturbative and transition regimes of QCD remains a major theoretical challenge. We construct a physics-guided phenomenological representation combining fermion-resonance and Pomeron-like AdS/QCD basis functions with a neural parametrization. The resonance sector is constrained by the AdS eigenvalue problem and physical proton mass, while the neural component describes effective kinematic mixing, Pomeron normalization, and a regularized log-space correction. For 187 selected SLAC measurements, a fixed 153/34 training--test split gives $χ^2/N_{\rm train}=0.542$, $χ^2/N_{\rm test}=1.990$, and $χ^2/N_{\rm all}=0.805$. Conditional on the chosen holographic basis, the fitted channel fractions evolve continuously from Pomeron-like dominance at lower measured $x$ to fermion-resonance dominance at larger $x$. The mixing midpoint is at $x\simeq0.187$, while equality of the final channel fractions occurs at $x\simeq0.226$, defining a transition region $x\simeq0.19$--$0.23$ rather than a unique boundary. Although $α_0\simeq1.08$ is compatible with the data, fixed-$α_0$ refits show that it is not separately identifiable from the flexible Pomeron normalization. The $x$-dependent holographic coordinates and effective excited scales should therefore be regarded as basis-dependent quantities rather than direct measurements of an $x$-dependent proton spectrum. A data-only neural baseline shows no predictive advantage for the holographic basis on the present dataset. The framework thus provides a basis-conditioned phenomenological decomposition rather than a model-independent extraction of proton dynamics.
