Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction of the Multichannel Dyson Equation

The multichannel Dyson equation (MCDE) was recently introduced as a new approximation scheme to compute the one-body Green function in many-body systems, as reported by Riva et al. in Physical Review Letters, volume 131, article 216401, published in 2023. The physical content of this novel approximation scheme is further clarified by recovering it from an extended version of the algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) truncation scheme. It is thus demonstrated that the MCDE approximation lies in between the so-called ADC(2) and ADC(3) truncations of the dynamical self energy. Building on this clarification, the MCDE approximation is tested on the periodic one-dimensional Hubbard model with 4, 6, and 8 site lattices and shown to deliver an improved treatment over ADC(2) of both the quasiparticle peaks and the so-called satellites in the spectral strength distribution.

Gravitational waves from flavoured SU(2) early-universe phase transitions

Flavourful extensions of the Standard Model aimed at explaining its fermionic mass structure typically rely on symmetries, broken at high-energy scales far beyond the reach of foreseeable direct collider searches. We illustrate, using a $SU(2)$ flavour gauge group, that the breaking of these symmetries up to scales as high as $10^7$ GeV could generate a gravitational-wave signal potentially observable by future observatories. We use dimensional reduction techniques to obtain the finite-temperature effective potential and study the possible first-order phase transitions. We match these transitions to steady-state hydrodynamical solutions in order to determine the corresponding gravitational-wave spectra. We observe that order-one gauge couplings are always required for a first-order phase transition to occur. On the other hand, adding leptoquarks (as an example of particles that are typically present in a complete flavour theory) significantly extends the testable parameter space. We find excellent prospects at the Einstein Telescope for future gravitational-wave detection of flavoured $SU(2)$ early-universe phase transitions.
