Cover Story: In this work, we have analyzed, in detail, dark matter (DM) in a model (the aνMSM) that features sterile neutrinos and a QCD axion sector. This is well-motivated because it can account for all experimentally confirmed evidence of BSM physics (neutrino masses, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry), and it solves the strong CP problem, features a stable electroweak vacuum, and realizes a viable version of Higgs inflation. To date, DM was explained exclusively through the axion; however, as shown in this work, the lightest sterile neutrino can also contribute to DM, and one can have a multi-component (axion–sterile–neutrino). This scenario relates the axion parameters with the sterile neutrino parameters and allows enlarging the region of parameter space with absolute electroweak vacuum stability. View this paper

We determine generalised asymptotic solutions for the inflaton field, the Hubble parameter, and the equation-of-state parameter valid during the oscillatory phase of reheating for potentials that close to their global minima behave as even monomial p...

We generalize the (n+1)-dimensional twisted R-Poisson topological sigma model with flux on a target Poisson manifold to a Lie algebroid. Analyzing the consistency of constraints in the Hamiltonian formalism and the gauge symmetry in the Lagrangian fo...

In this article, we calculate the deflection angle of a tidal charged black hole (TCBH) in weak field limits. First, we obtain the Gaussian optical curvature and then apply the Gauss–Bonnet theorem on it. With the help of Gibbons–Werner method, we ar...

Among the several experiments and techniques conceived of to search for neutrinoless double β decay (0ν2β) in a handful of isotopes, presently the best lower limit on the half-life for this rare process, is provided by those using 76Ge, a rare isotop...

Originally introduced in connection with general relativistic Coriolis forces, the term frame-dragging is associated today with a plethora of effects related to the off-diagonal element of the metric tensor. It is also frequently the subject of misco...

We investigate the consequences of combining swampland conjectures with the requirement of asymptotic safety. To this end, we explore the infrared regime of asymptotically safe gravity in the quadratic one-loop approximation, and we identify the hype...

Finite-temperature equation of state (EoS) and the composition of dense nuclear and hypernuclear matter under conditions characteristic of neutron star binary merger remnants and supernovas are discussed. We consider both neutrino free-streaming and...

The Horizon-10T collaboration have reported observation of Multi-Modal Events (MME) containing multiple peaks suggesting their clustering origin. These events are proven to be hard to explain in terms of conventional cosmic rays (CR). We propose that...
