Non-invertible global symmetries and completeness of the spectrum (2021)
Journal Article
Heidenreich, B., McNamara, J., Montero, M., Reece, M., Rudelius, T., & Valenzuela, I. (2021). Non-invertible global symmetries and completeness of the spectrum. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(9), Article 203. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep09%282021%29203

It is widely believed that consistent theories of quantum gravity satisfy two basic kinematic constraints: they are free from any global symmetry, and they contain a complete spectrum of gauge charges. For compact, abelian gauge groups, completeness... Read More about Non-invertible global symmetries and completeness of the spectrum.

Sharpening the Distance Conjecture in diverse dimensions (2022)
Journal Article
Etheredge, M., Heidenreich, B., Kaya, S., Qiu, Y., & Rudelius, T. (2022). Sharpening the Distance Conjecture in diverse dimensions. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(12), Article 114. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep12%282022%29114

The Distance Conjecture holds that any infinite-distance limit in the scalar field moduli space of a consistent theory of quantum gravity must be accompanied by a tower of light particles whose masses scale exponentially with proper field distance ‖ϕ...

Peer inclusion and school equality norm associations with intergroup contact, and academic self‐efficacy amongst ethnic majority and ethnic minority youth (2024)
Journal Article
McKeown, S., Di Bernardo, G. A., Charlesford, J., Vezzali, L., & Sagherian‐Dickey, T. (2024). Peer inclusion and school equality norm associations with intergroup contact, and academic self‐efficacy amongst ethnic majority and ethnic minority youth. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1111/jasp.13027

Social norms are important predictors of youth attitudes and behaviours. There is substantial evidence that positive and meaningful intergroup contact supported by inclusive norms can have a range of benefits beyond prejudice reduction. The present r...

What we talk about when we talk about class: discourse about the working class in the Church of England General Synod 2018–2022 (2024)
Journal Article
Tyndall, R. (2024). What we talk about when we talk about class: discourse about the working class in the Church of England General Synod 2018–2022. Practical Theology, 17(1), 40-55. https://doi.org/10.1080/1756073x.2023.2271741

The Church of England struggles to talk clearly about class. This article examines discourse in the Church of England General Synod to consider both the language and themes which appear when middle-class Anglicans discuss class. It is an attempt to ‘...
