    During the accretion phase of a core-collapse supernova (SN), dark-photon (DP) cooling can be largest in the gain layer below the stalled shock wave. In this way, it could counteract the usual shock rejuvenation by neutrino energy deposition and thus prevent the explosion. This peculiar energy-loss profile derives from the resonant nature of DP production. The largest cooling and thus...

    Many low-mass dark matter experiments focus on highly segmented detectors with low particle detection thresholds. For these situations in particular, the neutron capture process is important to consider for direct low-energy calibrations and a possible background source. I will summarize the effect of this process on dark matter searches, specifically focusing on the SuperCDMS collaboration...

    We propose a novel mechanism to detect terrestrial cosmic neutrino background’s (CNB) limit of electric charge by employing Mach-Zehnder interferometer with asymmetrical arm placement – one at the Earth’s surface and the other is placed underground. Assuming that relic neutrinos possess a small but nonzero charge, their coherent forward scattering with photons induces measurable phase shift in...

    In this talk I will briefly introduce some previous researches I have gone through on the topic of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). For particle aspect, I will review the inclusion of SIDM, the enhancement of potential DM accumulating in the core of stellar objects and its potential observations. For astrophysical aspect, I will introduce the properties of exotic stellar objects...

    The detection of cosmic antideuterons at kinetic energies below a few GeV/n could provide a smoking gun signature for dark matter (DM). However, the theoretical uncertainties arising from the choice of coalescence models were so far one of the main limiting factors for precise predictions of the $\overline{\rm D}$ flux. In this talk, we present a novel calculation of the $\overline{\rm D}$...

    We investigate the impact of repulsive self-interaction in ultralight dark matter (ULDM) on dynamical friction in circular orbits in ULDM halos and its implications for the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy's globular clusters. Using the Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson equations, we derive the dynamical friction force considering soliton density profiles for both non-interacting and strongly...

    White dwarfs (WDs) are compact remnants of stars, supported by electron degeneracy pressure, and their structures are generally considered to be well understood. However, there are notable discrepancies between the observed mass-radius (MR) relationship of WDs and the predicted values. We explore the possibility that WDs could serve as a portal to dark matter (DM) physics by investigating the...

    In current concordance cosmological model, Lambda-CDM model, we are facing serious cosmic tensions, such as Hubble tension, S_8 tension, dipole tension, etc. These problems challenge the basic assumption of cosmology, cosmological principle. In this talk, I will show how a local structure, a Gpc-scale void, impacts our understanding on Hubble tension, S_8 tension, and dipole tension, and a...

    In recent years, the holographic duality between $T\bar{T}$-deformed conformal field theory (CFT) and Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime with finite radial cutoff has received significant attention. The study of $T\bar{T}$ deformation within the framework of de Sitter (dS)/CFT duality has also progressed. In this talk, we generalize the replica method in both AdS and dS holography to derive a...

    Light primordial black holes (PBHs) can be formed in a variety of scenarios from inflationary scenarios to first order phase transitions. Extremely light PBHs with masses M<10^8 g evaporate before the era of BBN, leaving behind little trace of their existence except for gravitational waves. We show that if these PBHs are produced in high enough abundances to initiate an early matter-dominated...

    We formulate the statistics of peaks of non-Gaussian random fields and implement it to study the sphericity of peaks. For non-Gaussianity of the local type, we present a general formalism valid regardless of how large the deviation from Gaussian statistics is. For general types of non-Gaussianity, we provide a framework that applies to any system with a given power spectrum and the...

    We study the spontaneous emission of spin-1/2 fermions in a uniform electric field in the global coordinates of two-dimensional (anti-)de Sitter space. The production of fermion pairs is enhanced in de Sitter (dS) space. However, it is reduced in anti-de Sitter (AdS) in which weak electric fields below the BF bound prohibits pair production. We discover a reciprocal relation between the mean...

    We study the analogy between graviton emission and absorption in a thermal radiation environment and the laser mechanism, in which photons of the same momentum and polarization are amplified. Using interaction-picture perturbation theory, we analyze the time evolution of the graviton number operator and its expectation value in a squeezed vacuum state, which characterizes the inflationary...

    Primordial gravitational waves (GWs), beyond their direct detection prospects, can induce second-order scalar perturbations. These tensor-induced scalar modes evolve similarly to standard matter perturbations and leave distinct imprints on the large-scale structure (LSS). In this talk, I will present a detailed study of these effects, including analytical results for the evolution of induced...

    We study primordial gravitational waves (GWs) generated from first-order phase transitions (PTs) during cosmic reheating. Using a minimal particle physics model, and a general parametrization of the inflaton energy density and the evolution of the Standard Model temperature, we explore the conditions under which PTs occur and determine the corresponding PT parameters (the PT temperature,...

    We present a minimal setup within the framework of Horndeski gravity that can describe a nonpathological Genesis scenario. Our setup allows for a fully stable transition to the kination epoch, during which General Relativity (GR) is restored. This Genesis scenario circumvents the no-go theorem at the cost of encountering the risk of strong coupling in the past. Interestingly, our scenario...

    As an implication from Quantum Gravity, the swamplandish Trans‐Planckian Censorship Conjecture (TCC) prohibits eternal cosmological acceleration, a prediction that aligns naturally with the quintom-B behavior from the latest DESI DR2 data. Primarily, we implement TCC bounds within the framework of dynamical dark energy, especially in the w0waCDM parametrization and f(T), f(Q) modified...

    Recent 2σ–4σ deviations from the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ suggest that dark energy (DE) may be dynamical, based on baryon acoustic oscillations and full-shape galaxy clustering analyses. This calls for even tighter DE constraints to narrow down its true nature. In this talk, I present how galaxy intrinsic alignments (IA) can enhance the full-shape galaxy clustering–based DE constraints,...

    Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed a surprisingly large number of galaxies at high redshift, challenging the standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmology with a power-law primordial power spectrum. Previous studies alleviated this tension with a blue tilted primordial power spectrum ($P(k)\propto k^{m_s}$ with $m_s>1$ at small scales $>1~{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$). In this...

    This work explores holographic correlators within the frameworks of two-dimensional Boundary Conformal Field Theory (BCFT) and Crosscap Conformal Field Theory (XCFT). Utilizing the AdS/CFT correspondence, we compute stress tensor correlators in BCFT, considering both tensionless and tensionful end-of-the-world (EOW) brane scenarios. We derive recurrence relations for two-point and three-point...

    Theoretical understanding of deep learning remains elusive despite its empirical success. In this study, we propose a novel “synaptic field theory” that describes the training dynamics of synaptic weights and biases in the continuum limit. Unlike previous approaches, our framework treats synaptic weights and biases as fields and interprets their indices as spatial coordinates, with the...

    Dark sector interactions can be explored via the so-called Type 3 model where dark matter and dark energy exchange momentum, so as to minimize deviations from the ΛCDM background expansion history, which agrees well with various observations. Using N-body simulations, we analyze the imprint of Type 3 model parameters, the momentum exchange coupling constant β and the slope of scalar field...

    Recent cosmological measurements suggest the possibility of an anisotropic universe. As a result, the Bianchi Type I model, being the simplest anisotropic extension to the standard Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric has been extensively studied. In this work, we show how the recombination history should be modified in an anisotropic universe and derive observables by considering the...

    The near luminality and non-decay of Gravitational Waves (GWs) has ruled out all quartic and quintic Beyond Horndeski theories with a minimally coupled photon. In this talk, I show that --- with specific couplings between the scalar and the photon --- one can ensure luminal GWs and their suppressed decay in at least one viable Beyond Horndeski theory. I also discuss extensions of these...

    Magnetars, which are neutron stars with a surface magnetic field strength of order 10^14 G, are the most magnetic objects in the universe. However, their formation channels are not yet fully understood. We present the first two-dimensional axisymmetric MHD simulations of accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of rotating white dwarfs (WDs). Unlike previous studies of AIC that imposed an ad hoc...

    Gravitational waves emitted from binary black hole mergers exhibit highly distinctive characteristics. When these waves undergo gravitational lensing, the resulting distortions in amplitude and phase can be identified. This phenomenon can thus be leveraged to probe small-scale dark matter structures that may have originated in the early universe. In this talk, I will discuss recent advances in...

    In this work, we focus on periodic orbits of a small celestial object around a supermassive quantum-corrected black hole in loop quantum gravity and compute the corresponding gravitational waveforms. We view the small celestial object as a massive test particle and obtain its four-velocity and effective potential. We explore the effects of quantum corrections on marginally bound orbits,...

    Ultralight bosons (ULBs) can form macroscopic superradiant clouds around spinning black holes. We show that for scalar ULB masses $\mu \sim 10^{-22}-10^{-21}$ eV boson cloud dynamical friction drives supermassive black hole (SMBH) final-parsec evolution in $\lesssim 1$~Gyr and suppresses the nanohertz gravitational wave background with turnover. Considering century-monitored OJ287 system, we...
