About the construction of p-adic QFT limit of TGD

Abstract

The p-adic description of Higgs mechanism provides excellent predictions for elementary particle and hadron masses. In this work the construction of p-adic field theory limit of Quantum TGD is considered. Topological condensate defined as a manifold obtained by gluing together p-adic spacetime regions with different values of $p$ is identified as 'quantum average' space time defined as absolute minimum of effective action $S_e$ associated with Kähler Dirac action defining configuration space geometry. p-Adic spacetime topology is ultrametric in accordance with the analogy with spin glass phase implied by the vacuum degenerary of Kähler action. Symmetry arguments suggest that $S_e$ in presence of fermion fields is just the super symmetrized Kähler Dirac action. Super symmetrization motivated by $N=1$ super symmetry generated by right handed neutrino replaces H-coordinates with their super counterparts and requires color singletness of physical states appears as consistency condition. p-Adic $Diff(M^4)$ and canonical transformations of $CP_2$ localized with respect to $M^4$ are approximate symmetries of the effective action and broken only by the nonflatness of the induced metric. Super gauge invariances in interior allow only massless many boson states with vanishing electroweak and color quantum numbers including graviton in accordance with the hypothesis that elementary particle quantum numbers reside on boundaries. Boundary components are idealized with world lines and Kac Moody Dirac spinors used in mass calculations describe the conformal degrees of freedom of the boundary component. Perturbation theory in powers of $p$ converges extremely rapidly: UV divergences are absent but natural infrared cutoff is present.

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.
