The energy-momentum tensor form factor <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>D</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>t</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math> is finite and negative in hadronic models and lattice QCD when only strong forces are included. However, when electromagnetic forces are considered, the <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>D</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>t</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math> of charged hadrons undergoes a dramatic change: at small <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>t</mi></math>, it changes sign and diverges like <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mn>1</mn><mo>/</mo><msqrt><mrow><mo>−</mo><mi>t</mi></mrow></msqrt></math> as shown for the proton in the classical model by Białynicki-Birula based on residual nuclear forces which can be understood as a mean field approach. We construct an analogous neutron model and show that this framework accurately explains the electromagnetic proton-neutron mass difference. We demonstrate that, after appropriately rescaling the residual nuclear forces, the model can reproduce lattice data on the nucleon <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>D</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>t</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math> up to <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mo>−</mo><mi>t</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mo>≲</mo><mn>1</mn><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><msup><mi>GeV</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></math> as well as QED effects. Based on this realistic model description, we show that the proton and neutron <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>D</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>t</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math> form factors are practically indistinguishable down to <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mo>−</mo><mi>t</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mo>≈</mo><msup><mn>10</mn><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>4</mn></mrow></msup><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><msup><mi>GeV</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></math>, far below what can currently be accessed experimentally.

We present a neural network wave function framework for solving non-Abelian lattice gauge theories in a continuous group representation. Using a combination of SU(2) equivariant neural networks alongside an SU(2) invariant, physics-inspired ansatz, we learn a parametrization of the ground state wave function of SU(2) lattice gauge theory in <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><mn>2</mn><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></math> and <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><mn>3</mn><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></math> dimensions. Our method, performed in the Hamiltonian formulation, has a straightforward generalization to <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><mi>SU</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>N</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow></math>. We benchmark our approach against a solely invariant ansatz by computing the ground state energy, demonstrating the need for bespoke gauge equivariant transformations. We evaluate the Creutz ratio and average Wilson loop, and obtain results in strong agreement with perturbative expansions. Our method opens up an avenue for studying lattice gauge theories beyond one dimension, with efficient scaling to larger systems, and in a way that avoids both the sign problem and any discretization of the gauge group.

We consider supersymmetric solutions of $\textit{D}$ = 5 Euclidean gauged supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets. We consider solutions that admit both the R-symmetry Killing vector, $$ \mathcal{K} $$ , constructed as a bilinear in the Killing spinor, as well as an additional Killing vector $\textit{ℓ}$. Using $\textit{ℓ}$ to perform a dimensional reduction to $\textit{D}$ = 4, $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauged supergravity, we show how the $\textit{D}$ = 5 on-shell action can be computed using equivariant localization. We illustrate the formalism with some examples, computing the supersymmetric Casimir energy and the supersymmetric index of the dual SCFT without using the explicit supergravity solutions.

Inspired by the observation of the ${\eta}_{t}$ meson at the LHC and the promising prospect of the ${\eta}_{t}$ meson available at the approaching HL-LHC, branching ratios for the ${\eta}_{t}$ ${\to}$ $f\bar{f}$ , $gg$ , ${\gamma}{\gamma}$ , $W^{+}W^{-}$ , $Z^{0}Z^{0}$ , $Z^{0}{\gamma}$ , and $Z^{0}H$ decays are roughly estimated. It is found that tens of opposite-charge dilepton events from the ${\eta}_{t}$ ${\to}$ $W^{+}W^{-}$ decay and hundreds of events from the ${\eta}_{t}$ ${\to}$ $Z^{0}H$ ${\to}$ ${\ell}^{+}{\ell}^{-}H$ decay using the single $Z^{0}$ boson tagging method are expected to be accessible. This estimation provides a reference for future experimental study on the ${\eta}_{t}$ meson.

We study a system made from <math altimg='si6.svg'><mrow><msup><mi>K</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup><msup><mi>D</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup><msup><mi>K</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></mrow></math> with charge 3, isospin <math altimg='si7.svg'><mrow><mi>I</mi><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>=</mo><mn>3</mn><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>/</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></math>, spin <math altimg='si8.svg'><mrow><mi>J</mi><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>=</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow></math>, and a quark content of <math altimg='si9.svg'><mrow><mi>c</mi><mover accent='true'><mi>d</mi><mo>&#175;</mo></mover><mover accent='true'><mi>s</mi><mo>&#175;</mo></mover><mi>u</mi><mover accent='true'><mi>s</mi><mo>&#175;</mo></mover><mi>u</mi></mrow></math>, which make it highly exotic relative to the standard <math altimg='si10.svg'><mrow><mi>q</mi><mover accent='true'><mi>q</mi><mo>&#175;</mo></mover></mrow></math> structure of mesons. The interaction of the three body system is obtained starting from a cluster of <math altimg='si11.svg'><mrow><msup><mi>D</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup><msup><mi>K</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></mrow></math> in <math altimg='si12.svg'><mrow><mi>I</mi><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>=</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></math> and <math altimg='si13.svg'><mrow><mi>J</mi><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>=</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></math>, that in different works has been found bound, and adding to it an extra <math altimg='si14.svg'><msup><mi>K</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></math> with spin aligned with those of the vectors of the cluster. We find that the <italic>K</italic>* <italic>K</italic>* interaction in <math altimg='si12.svg'><mrow><mi>I</mi><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>=</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></math> and <math altimg='si13.svg'><mrow><mi>J</mi><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>=</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></math> is repulsive, but its strength is small compared to that of <math altimg='si11.svg'><mrow><msup><mi>D</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup><msup><mi>K</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></mrow></math> in <math altimg='si12.svg'><mrow><mi>I</mi><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>=</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></math> and <math altimg='si13.svg'><mrow><mi>J</mi><mo linebreak='goodbreak'>=</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></math>, such that we find a three body state bound by about 100&#8201;MeV with respect to the mass of a <math altimg='si14.svg'><msup><mi>K</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></math> and the <math altimg='si11.svg'><mrow><msup><mi>D</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup><msup><mi>K</mi><mrow><mo>*</mo><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></mrow></math> cluster. The width of the state, of about 10&#8201;MeV, is much smaller than the binding, which facilitates its observation. We suggest to find that state by measuring the invariant mass of <italic>KDK</italic>*, something feasible in present experimental facilities.
