    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    S-matrix consistency forces the complete gluon amplitude structure and requires Yang-Mills Lie algebra plus Higgs mechanism for unitarised massive vector boson scattering.

  2. Minimal noise in non-quantized gravity

    quant-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Non-quantized gravity models that preserve Galilean invariance and reproduce Newtonian interaction on average require a minimal noise injection to remain non-entangling.

  3. Spherically symmetric black holes in Gravity from Entropy and spontaneous emission

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In the Gravity from Entropy framework, spherically symmetric black holes acquire r^{-4} corrections to Schwarzschild geometry, with large-mass evaporation at constant rate -β/24 and intermediate-mass loss following th...

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Jacobson's thermodynamic approach applied to non-Riemannian geometries selects the Einstein-Hilbert action plus a quadratic torsion term as Nature's choice when non-metricity is absent and the metric energy-momentum t...

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    All minisuperspaces from symmetry reductions of the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian that obey the principle of symmetric criticality are canonically quantized and their Wheeler-DeWitt equations are solved.

    Canonical quantization of all consistent symmetry reductions of the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian, with solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation both with and without imposed conformal symmetries.

  7. Photon Surfaces in Higher-Curvature Gravity: Implications for Quasinormal Modes and Gravitational Lensing

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Higher-curvature EFT terms modify the photon sphere radius, critical impact parameter, and strong deflection coefficients, providing sensitive probes for constraints on quantum gravity effects via lensing and QNM spectra.

  8. Scattering amplitudes in dimensionless quadratic gravity coupled to QED

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Tree-level amplitudes in agravity-coupled QED produce differential cross sections scaling universally as dσ/dΩ ∝ 1/s at ultra-Planckian energies across multiple channels.

  9. Gravitational scalar production with a generic reheating scenario

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Gravitational scalar production yields reheating-dependent constraints on dark matter scalars, with dilution preserving viability for k<4 low-temperature reheating and factorization in multi-stage cases.

  10. Cancellation of one-parameter graviton gauge dependence in the effective scalar field equation in de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Gauge dependence cancels in the one-loop effective scalar equation in de Sitter when all diagram contributions including external mode corrections are collected.
