ADM, BMS, and some puzzling interconnections / Veneziano, Gabriele (CERN ; College de France)
The precise connection between the ADM and BMS formalisms is still far from being fully understood. It leads superficially to some puzzles whose resolution can provide new interesting physical insights. [...]

Axial perturbations of black holes with primary scalar hair / Charmousis, Christos (IJCLab, Orsay ; CERN) ; Iteanu, Simon (IJCLab, Orsay) ; Langlois, David (APC, Paris) ; Noui, Karim (IJCLab, Orsay)
We study axial perturbations of static black holes with primary hair in a family of degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories. These solutions possess a scalar charge, fully independent of the mass, leading to a continuous one-parameter deformation of the standard Schwarzschild black hole. [...]

Forecasting constraints on scalar-induced gravitational waves with future pulsar timing array observations / Cecchini, Chiara (Trento U. ; CERN ; INFN, Trento) ; Franciolini, Gabriele (CERN) ; Pieroni, Mauro (CERN)
Pulsar Timing Arrays are playing a crucial role in the ongoing gravitational wave astronomy revolution. The current evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) at nHz frequencies offers an opportunity to discover cosmological signals and threatens the observability of other subdominant GWs.

Lepton Flavor Asymmetries: from the early Universe to BBN / Domcke, Valerie (CERN) ; Escudero, Miguel (CERN) ; Fernandez Navarro, Mario (Glasgow U.) ; Sandner, Stefan (Los Alamos)
Large primordial lepton flavor asymmetries with almost vanishing total baryon-minus-lepton number can evade the usual BBN and CMB constraints if neutrino oscillations lead to perfect flavor equilibration. Solving the momentum averaged quantum kinetic equations (QKEs) describing neutrino oscillations and interactions, we perform the first systematic investigation of this scenario, uncovering a rich flavor structure in stark contradiction to the assumption of simple flavor equilibration. [...]

The hadronic contribution to the running of $\alpha$ and the electroweak mixing angle / Conigli, Alessandro (Helmholtz Inst., Mainz ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; von Hippel, Georg (U. Mainz, PRISMA) ; Kuberski, Simon (CERN) ; Meyer, Harvey B. (Helmholtz Inst., Mainz ; Darmstadt, GSI ; U. Mainz, PRISMA) ; Ottnad, Konstantin (U. Mainz, PRISMA) ; Wittig, Hartmut (Helmholtz Inst., Mainz ; Darmstadt, GSI ; U. Mainz, PRISMA)
We report on our update to [1] on the hadronic running of electroweak couplings from $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermions with $N_f=2+1$ flavours. The inclusion of additional ensembles at very fine lattice spacings together with a number of techniques to split the different contributions for a better control of cutoff effects allows us to substantially improve the precision.

Machine-learning techniques as noise reduction strategies in lattice calculations of the muon $g-2$ / Wittig, Hartmut (U. Mainz, PRISMA ; Mainz U., Inst. Phys. ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Blum, Thomas (Connecticut U.) ; Conigli, Alessandro (Mainz U., Inst. Phys. ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Geyer, Lukas (U. Mainz, PRISMA) ; Kuberski, Simon (CERN) ; Segner, Alexander (Mainz U., Inst. Phys. ; Darmstadt, GSI ; U. Mainz, PRISMA)
Lattice calculations of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment are numerically highly demanding due to the necessity of reaching total errors at the sub-percent level. Noise-reduction techniques such as low-mode averaging have been applied successfully to determine the vector-vector correlator with high statistical precision in the long-distance regime, but display an unfavourable scaling in terms of numerical cost.

The Irrelevance of Primordial Black Hole Clustering in the LVK mass range / Crescimbeni, F. (U. Rome La Sapienza (main) ; INFN, Rome) ; Desjacques, V. (Technion) ; Franciolini, G. (CERN) ; Ianniccari, A. (Geneva U., CAP) ; Iovino, A.J. (Geneva U., CAP) ; Perna, G. (Padua U. ; Padua U., Astron. Dept. ; INFN, Padua) ; Perrone, D. (Geneva U., CAP) ; Riotto, A. (Geneva U., CAP) ; Veermäe, H. (NICPB, Tallinn)
We show that in realistic models where primordial black holes are formed due to the collapse of sizeable inflationary perturbations, their initial spatial clustering beyond Poisson distribution does not play any role in the binary mergers, including sub-solar primordial black holes, responsible for the gravitational waves detectable by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA. This is a consequence of the existing FIRAS CMB distortion constraints on the relevant scales. [...]

Precision tools for the simulation of double-Higgs production via vector-boson fusion / Jäger, Barbara (Tubingen U.) ; Karlberg, Alexander (CERN) ; Reinhardt, Simon (Tubingen U.)
We present two precision tools for the simulation of Higgs-pair production via vector-boson fusion in the kappa framework for the parameterization of non-standard Higgs couplings. A new implementation of the process is developed in the framework of the POWHEG BOX program that can be used to provide predictions at the next-to-leading order (NLO) of QCD matched to parton showers (PS).

Factorisation schemes for proton PDFs / Delorme, Stéphane (Cracow, INP) ; Kusina, Aleksander (Cracow, INP) ; Siódmok, Andrzej (Jagiellonian U.) ; Whitehead, James (Cracow, INP ; Jagiellonian U.)
Beyond leading-order, perturbative QCD requires a choice of factorisation scheme to define the parton distribution functions (PDFs) and hard-process cross-section. The modified minimal-subtraction ($\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$) scheme has long been adopted as the default choice due to its simplicity. [...]

Accelerating Berends–Giele recursion for gluons in arbitrary dimensions over finite fields / Cruz-Martinez, Juan M. (CERN) ; De Laurentis, Giuseppe (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Pellen, Mathieu (Freiburg U.)
This work provides a proof of concept for the computation of pure gluonic amplitudes in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) on graphics processing units (GPUs). The implementation relies on the Berends-Giele recursion algorithm and, for the first time on a GPU, enables the numerical computation of amplitudes in an arbitrary number of space-time dimensions and over finite fields.
