Ontological Fluctuating Lattice Cut Off

Abstract

Remarkably accurate fine structure constants are calculated from assumptions further developed from two earlier publications. We have put together a series of energy scales related to various physical phenomena such as the Planck scale, a scale, which we call ``fermion tip'' being a certain extrapolation related to the heaviest Fermions in the Standard Model, an approximate SU(5) unification scale (without susy); and then we found, that as function of the power of an imagined lattice link length supposedly relevant for the scale in question, these powers are rather well linearly related to the logarithms of the associated energy scales. The coincidence of these scales fitting a straight line is remarkable and in some cases quite intriguing. It is evidence for Nature truly having a fluctuating lattice, meaning, that the size of the links say fluctuate quantum mechanically. We review a self-reference obtaining the three fine structure constants via three theoretically predictable quantities, among which is a scale on our straight line plot, namely for an approximate SU(5)-like unification (SU(5) coupling relations are only true in a classical approximation). Concentrating on the four energy scales, for which most precise numbers make sense (this is new in the present article), we interpolate to the approximate unification scale to such an accuracy, that it combined with the quantum corrections making the deviation from genuine SU(5) delivers the differences between the three inverse fine structure constants agreeing within errors being a few units on the second place after the comma! E.g. we predict the difference between the non-abelian inverse fine structure constants at the Z-mass MZ to be (1/alpha2 - 1/alpha3)(M_Z)predict=29.62-8.42 =21.20, while the experimental difference is 29.57-8.44=21.13 both with uncertainties of order +/- 0.05.

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.
