We consider massive $SU(N)$ gauge theory with fermions. Gauge bosons become massive due to the interaction with the scalar field, whose vacuum average provides the spontaneous breakdown of gauge symmetry. We investigate Dyson - Schwinger equation for the fermion propagator written in ladder approximation and in Landau gauge. Our analysis demonstrates that the chiral symmetry breaking in the considered theory is the strong coupling phenomenon. There are the indications that there appears the second order phase transition between chirally broken and symmetric phases of the theory at the value of coupling constant $\alpha_c = (1+\gamma)\times \frac{\pi}{3}\times \frac{1}{2 C_2(F)}$, where $0<\gamma<1$, and $\gamma$ depends on the scale, at which the fluctuations of the scalar field destroy the gauge boson mass. In the broken phase near the critical value of $\alpha$ the Dyson - Schwinger equation is approximated well by the gap equation of the effective Nambu - Joina - Lasinio model with the value of cutoff around gauge boson mass $M$ and the effective four - fermion coupling constant $\frac{4 \pi \alpha}{M^2}\times \frac{2C_2(F)}{N}$. The dynamical fermion mass $m$ may be essentially smaller than $M$.

A model for the reaction $\gamma p\to\rho^-\Delta^{++}$ is presented with the $t$-channel $\pi+\rho$ exchanges reggeized to describe the reaction up to high energies. Gauge invariance of $\rho$ exchange is discussed in connection with the convergence of the reaction cross section at high energy. The roles of electromagnetic (EM) multipole moments of $\Delta^{++}$ baryon and of $\rho^-$ meson are analyzed in total and differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements. Photon polarization asymmetry $\Sigma$ is predicted for a measurement of electromagnetic moments of $\rho^-$ and of $\Delta^{++}$.

According to classical GR, negative-energy (AdS) bubbles in the multiverse terminate in big crunch singularities. It has been conjectured, however, that the fundamental theory may resolve these singularities and replace them by non-singular bounces. Here we explore possible dynamics of such bounces using a simple modification of the Friedmann equation, which ensures that the scale factor bounces when the matter density reaches some critical value $\rho_c$. This is combined with a simple scalar field `landscape', where the energy barriers between different vacua are small compared to $\rho_c$. We find that the bounce typically results in a transition to another vacuum, with a scalar field displacement $\Delta\phi \sim 1$ in Planck units. If the new vacuum is AdS, we have another bounce, and so on, until the field finally transits to a positive-energy (de Sitter) vacuum. We also consider perturbations about the homogeneous solution and discuss some of their amplification mechanisms (e.g., tachyonic instability and parametric resonance). For a generic potential, these mechanisms are much less efficient than in models of slow-roll inflation. But the amplification may still be strong enough to cause the bubble to fragment into a mosaic of different vacua.

Light front wave functions motivated by holographic constructions are used to study Bloom-Gilman duality of deep inelastic scattering. Separate expressions for structure functions in terms of quark and hadronic degrees of freedom are presented, with a goal of relating the two expressions. A two-parton model is defined and resonance transition form factors are computed using previously derived light front wave functions. A new form of global duality is derived from the valence quark-number sum rule. Using a complete set of hadronic states is necessary for this new global duality to be achieved. Previous original work does not provide such a set. This is remedied by amending the model to include a longitudinal confining potential, and the resulting complete set is sufficient to carry out the study of Bloom-Gilman duality. Expressions for transition form factors are obtained and all are shown to fall asymptotically as 1/Q2. The Feynman mechanism dominates the asymptotic behavior of the model. These transition form factors are used to assess the validity of the global and local duality sum rules, with the result that both neither are satisfied. Evaluations of the hadronic expression for q(x,Q2) provide more details about this lack. This result shows that the observed validity of both global and local forms of duality for deep inelastic scattering must be related to a feature of QCD that is deeper than completeness. Our simple present model suggests a prediction that Bloom-Gilman duality would not be observed if deep inelastic scattering experiments were to be made on the pion. The underlying origin of the duality phenomenon in deep inelastic scattering is deeply buried within the confinement aspects of QCD, and remains a mystery.

In this paper, we study how quantum correlation between subsystems changes in time by investigating time evolution of mutual information and logarithmic negativity in two protocols of mass quench. Hamiltonian in both protocols is for 2-dimensional free scalar theory with time-dependent mass: the mass in one case decreases monotonically and vanishes asymptotically (ECP), and that in the other decreases monotonically before t = 0, but increases monotonically afterward, and becomes constant asymptotically (CCP). We study the time evolution of the quantum correlations under those protocols in two different limits of the mass quench; fast limit and slow limit depending on the speed with which the mass is changed. We obtain the following two results: (1) For the ECP, we find that the time evolution of logarithmic negativity is, when the distance between the two subsystems is large enough, well-interpreted in terms of the propagation of relativistic particles created at a time determined by the limit of the quench we take. On the other hand, the evolution of mutual information in the ECP depends not only on the relativistic particles but also on slowly-moving particles. (2) For the CCP, both logarithmic negativity and mutual information oscillate in time after the quench. When the subsystems are well-separated, the oscillation of the quantum correlations in the fast limit is suppressed, and the time evolution looks similar to that under the ECP in the fast limit.

We study the Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) D-terms on D-branes in type II Calabi-Yau backgrounds. We provide a simple worldsheet proof of the fact that, at tree level, these terms only couple to scalars in closed string hypermultiplets. At the one-loop level, the D-terms get corrections only if the gauge group has an anomalous spectrum, with the anomaly cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism. We study the local type IIA model of D6-branes at SU(3) angles and show that, as in field theory, the one-loop correction suffers from a quadratic divergence in the open string channel. By studying the closed string channel, we show that this divergence is related to a closed string tadpole, and is cancelled when the tadpole is cancelled. Next, we study the cosmic strings that arise in the supersymmetric phases of these systems in light of recent work of Dvali et. al. In the type IIA intersecting D6-brane examples, we identify the D-term strings as D4-branes ending on the D6-branes. Finally, we use N=1 dualities to relate these results to previous work on the FI D-term of heterotic strings.

Many scenarios of beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics give rise to new top-philic interactions that can be probed at proton machines such as the Large Hadron Collider through a variety of production and decay modes. On the one hand, this will enable a detailed determination of the BSM model's parameters when a discovery is made and additional sensitivity in non-dominant production modes can be achieved. On the other hand, the naive narrow width approximation in dominant production modes such as gluon fusion might be inadequate for some BSM parameter regions due to interference effects, effectively making less dominant production modes more relevant in such instances. In this work, we consider both these questions in the context of four top quark final states at the LHC. Firstly, we show that the SM potential can be enhanced through the application of targeted Graph Neural Network techniques that exploit data correlations beyond cut-and-count approaches. Secondly, we show that destructive interference effects that can degrade BSM sensitivity of top-philic states from gluon fusion are largely avoided by turning to four top final states. This achieves considerable exclusion potential for, e.g., the two Higgs doublet model. This further motivates four top final states as sensitive tools for BSM discovery in the near future of the LHC.

The implications of N=1 superconformal symmetry for four dimensional quantum field theories are studied. Superconformal covariant expressions for two and three point functions of quasi-primary superfields of arbitrary spin are found and connected with the operator product expansion. The general formulae are specialised to cases involving a scalar superfield L, which contains global symmetry currents, and the supercurrent, which contains the energy momentum tensor, and the consequences of superconformal Ward identities analysed. The three point function of L is shown to have unique completely antisymmetric or symmetric forms. In the latter case the superspace version of the axial anomaly equation is obtained. The three point function for the supercurrent is shown to have two linearly independent forms. A linear combination of the associated coefficients for the general expression is shown to be related to the scale of the supercurrent two point function through Ward identities. The coefficients are given for the two free field superconformal theories and are also connected with the parameters present in the supercurrent anomaly for supergravity backgrounds. Superconformal invariants, which are possible even in three point functions, are discussed.

The general formulae are specialised to cases involving a scalar superfield L, which contains global symmetry currents, and the supercurrent, which contains the energy momentum tensor, and the consequences of superconformal Ward identities analysed. The three point function of L is shown to have unique completely antisymmetric or symmetric forms. In the latter case the superspace version of the axial anomaly equation is obtained. The three point function for the supercurrent is shown to have two linearly independent forms. A linear combination of the associated coefficients for the general expression is shown to be related to the scale of the supercurrent two point function through Ward identities. The coefficients are given for the two free field superconformal theories and are also connected with the parameters present in the supercurrent anomaly for supergravity backgrounds. Superconformal invariants, which are possible even in three point functions, are discussed.

We split the two-Higgs-doublet model by assuming very different vevs for the two doublets: the vev is at weak scale (174 GeV) for the doublet \Phi_1 and at neutrino-mass scale (10^{-2} \sim 10^{-3} eV) for the doublet \Phi_2. \Phi_1 is responsible for giving masses to all fermions except neutrinos; while \Phi_2 is responsible for giving neutrino masses through its tiny vev without introducing see-saw mechanism. Among the predicted five physical scalars H, h, A^0 and H^{\pm}, the CP-even scalar h is as light as 10^{-2} \sim 10^{-3}eV while others are at weak scale. We identify h as the cosmic dark energy field and the other CP-even scalar H as the Standard Model Higgs boson; while the CP-odd A^0 and the charged H^{\pm} are the exotic scalars to be discovered at future colliders. Also we demonstrate a possible dynamical origin for the doublet \Phi_2 from neutrino condensation caused by some unknown dynamics.

To study the dynamics of discharge of a brane black hole in TeV gravity scenarios, we obtain the approximate electromagnetic field due to the charged black hole, by solving Maxwell's equations perturbatively on the brane. In addition, arguments are given for brane metric corrections due to backreaction. We couple brane scalar and brane fermion fields with non-zero mass and charge to the background, and study the Hawking radiation process using well known low energy approximations as well as a WKB approximation in the high energy limit. We argue that contrary to common claims, the initial evaporation is not dominated by fast Schwinger discharge.

In this letter it is shown how final-state QED corrections to the production of a pair of resonances can distort the line shape of such a resonance in a sizeable way. This effect depends on the definition of the line shape and can reach up to 30%, depending on the final state. The mechanism is first displayed for a particular case of ZZ production, for which an exact and approximate treatment can be given. The approximate method is then applied to W-pair production. In addition some simple rules of thumb are given for accurately estimating the characteristic distortion effects, like the mass shift and peak reduction.

The contradiction between evidence for and against the existence of the Theta+ pentaquark might be resolved if it only appears as a result of a particular production mechanism which is present in some experiments and absent in others. We examine the implications of Theta+ production via decay of a cryptoexotic N* resonance with a mass of about 2.4 GeV corresponding to a peak in the experimental data for the invariant mass of the (Theta+,K-) system. Further experimental checks are suggested.

Recent measurements of the Lamb shift of muonic helium-4 ions were used to infer the alpha particle charge radius. The value found is compatible with the radius extracted from the analysis of the electron-helium scattering. Thus, the new spectroscopic data put additional empiric bounds on some free parameters of certain physics theories beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, we analyze the new data in the context of large extra-dimensional theories. Specifically, we calculate the influence of the radion, the scalar degree of freedom of the higher-dimensional gravity, on the energy difference between the 2S and 2P levels of this exotic atom. The radion field is related to fluctuations of the volume of the supplementary space, and, in comparison with the tensorial degrees of freedom, it couples to matter in a different way. Moreover, as some stabilization mechanism acts exclusively on the scalar degree of freedom, the tensor and scalar fields should be treated as phenomenologically independent quantities. Based on the spectroscopic data of muonic helium, we find constraints for the effective energy scale of the radion as a function of the alpha particle radius. Then, we discuss the implications of these new constraints on the proton radius puzzle.

It has been shown that non-Abelian solitonic vortex string supported in four-dimensional (4D) N = 2 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) with the U(2) gauge group and $N_f = 4$ quark flavors becomes a critical superstring. This string propagates in the ten-dimensional space formed by a product of the flat 4D space and an internal space given by a Calabi-Yau noncompact threefold, namely, the conifold. The spectrum of low lying closed string states in the associated type IIA string theory was found and interpreted as a spectrum of hadrons in 4D N = 2 SQCD. In particular, the lowest string state appears to be a massless BPS baryon associated with the deformation of the complex structure modulus $b$ of the conifold. In the previous work the deformation of the 10-dimensional background with nonzero Neveu-Schwarz 3-form flux was considered and interpreted as a switching on a particular choice of quark masses in 4D SQCD. This deformation was studied to the leading order at small 3-form flux. In this paper we study the back reaction of the nonzero 3-form flux on the metric and the dilaton introducing ansatz with several warp factors and solving gravity equations of motion. We show that 3-form flux produces a potential for the conifold complex structure modulus $b$, which leads to the runaway vacuum. At the runaway vacuum warp factors disappear, while the conifold degenerates. In 4D SQCD we relate this to the flow to the U(1) gauge theory upon switching on quark masses and decoupling of two flavors.

Neutrino flavor evolution in core-collapse supernovae, neutron-star mergers, or the early universe is dominated by neutrino-neutrino refraction, often spawning "self-induced flavor conversion", i.e., shuffling of flavor among momentum modes. This effect is driven by collective run-away modes of the coupled "flavor oscillators" and can spontaneously break the initial symmetries such as axial symmetry, homogeneity, isotropy, and even stationarity. Moreover, the growth rates of unstable modes can be of the order of the neutrino-neutrino interaction energy instead of the much smaller vacuum oscillation frequency: self-induced flavor conversion does not always require neutrino masses. We illustrate these newly found phenomena in terms of simple toy models. What happens in realistic astrophysical settings is up to speculation at present.

The analytic continuation of GPD is provided by Generalized Distribution Amplitudes (GDA). The GDA's for the production of two $\rho-$mesons may give an access to four-quark exotic states. The crucial role in the proof of analyticity is played by the Cavalieri conditions (polynomiality), resulting in the "holographic" property of GPD, when the full information about various hard processes is contained in the one dimensional sections ($x=\pm \xi$)of GPD. The applicability of analyticity for description of the double diffractive production of dileptons and Higgs bosons is discussed.

The resummation of logarithmically-enhanced terms to all perturbative orders is a prerequisite for many studies of QCD final-states. Until now such resummations have always been performed by hand, for a single observable at a time. In this letter we present a general `master' resummation formula (and applicability conditions), suitable for a large class of observables. This makes it possible for next-to-leading logarithmic resummations to be carried out automatically given only a computer routine for the observable. To illustrate the method we present the first next-to-leading logarithmic resummed prediction for an event shape in hadronic dijet production.

We study the one-loop corrections to the four-point function in the Anti de Sitter space-time for a $\phi^4$ field theory. Our calculation shows the existence of non-local counterterms which however respect the AdS isometry. Our arguments are quite general and applicable to other (non-conformal) AdS field theories. We also explain why calculations in Euclidean and Lorentzian signatures should differ even at the leading order in non globaly hyperbolic manifolds.

We study the one-loop corrections to the four-point function in the Anti de Sitter space-time for a $\phi^4$ field theory. Our calculation shows the existence of non-local counterterms which however respect the AdS isometry. Our arguments are quite general and applicable to other (non-conformal) AdS field theories. We also explain why calculations in Euclidean and Lorentzian signatures should differ even at the leading order in non globaly hyperbolic manifolds.

We re-examine a string dual model for elastic proton-proton scattering via Pomeron exchange. We argue that the method of "Reggeizing" a propagator to take into account an entire trajectory of exchanged particles can be generalized, in particular by modifying the value of the mass-shell parameter in the model. We then fit the generalized model to scattering data at large s and small t. The fitting results are inconclusive, but suggest that a better fit might be obtained by allowing the mass-shell to vary. The model fits the data equally well (roughly) for a wide range of values of the mass-shell parameter, but the other fitting parameters (the slope and intercept of the Regge trajectory, and the coupling constant and dipole mass from the proton-proton-glueball coupling) are then inconsistent with what we expect. On the other hand, using the traditional method of Reggeization generates a weaker fit, but the other parameters obtain more physically reasonable values. In analyzing the fitting results, we also found that our model is more consistent with the sqrt(s) = 1800 GeV coming from the E710 experiment than that coming from the CDF experiment, and that our model has the greatest discrepancy with the data in the range 0.5 GeV^2 < |t| < 0.6 GeV^2, suggesting that the transition from soft Pomeron to hard Pomeron may occur closer to t = -0.5 GeV^2 rather than t = -0.6 GeV^2 as previously thought.

We perform a classical BRST analysis of the symmetries corresponding to a generic $w_N$-algebra. An essential feature of our method is that we write the $w_N$-algebra in a special basis such that the algebra manifestly has a ``nested'' set of subalgebras $v_N^N \subset v_N^{N-1} \subset \dots \subset v_N^2 \equiv w_N$ where the subalgebra $v_N^i\ (i=2, \dots ,N)$ consists of generators of spin $s=\{i,i+1,\dots ,N\}$, respectively. In the new basis the BRST charge can be written as a ``nested'' sum of $N-1$ nilpotent BRST charges. In view of potential applications to (critical and/or non-critical) $W$-string theories we discuss the quantum extension of our results. In particular, we present the quantum BRST-operator for the $W_4$-algebra in the new basis. For both critical and non-critical $W$-strings we apply our results to discuss the relation with minimal models.

In particular, we calculate the four-fermion contribution from dimension six and eight operators, which dominates at large center of mass energy. We explore the relative size of the $\mathcal O(1/\Lambda^4)$ and $\mathcal O(1/\Lambda^2)$ results for various kinematic regimes and assumptions about the Wilson coefficients. Results for Drell-Yan production $pp \to \ell^+\ell^-$ at ${\cal{O}}(1/\Lambda^4)$ are also provided. Additionally, we develop the form for four fermion contact term contributions to $pp \to \ell^{+}\nu, \ell^-\bar \nu, pp \to \ell^+\ell^-$ of arbitrary mass dimension. This allows us to estimate the effects from even higher dimensional (dimension $> 8$) terms in the SMEFT framework.

We calculate the complete closed string high energy scattering amplitudes (HSA) in the Regge regime for arbitrary mass levels. As an application, we deduce the complete ratios among closed string HSA in the fixed angle regime by using Stirling number identities. These results are in contrast with the incomplete set of closed string HSA in the fixed angle regime calculated previously. The complete forms of the fixed angle amplitudes, and hence the ratios, were not calculable previously without the input of zero-norm state calculation. This is mainly due to the lack of saddle point in the fixed angle closed string calculation.

In this letter, we propose a novel mechanism for charmonium scattering that utilizes the internal structure of charmonium. By capturing light flavor quarks and anti-quarks from the vacuum, charm and anti-charm quarks form virtual charmed mesons, which mediate an effective one-boson exchange process. This approach accurately reproduces the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum observed by CMS and LHCb, demonstrating its validity. Our mechanism offers a comprehensive framework for understanding charmonium scattering and is applicable to the scattering problems involving all fully heavy hadrons, an area of increasing interest.

In the context of the AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence, we investigate the Higgs branch CFT$_2$. Witten showed that states localised near the small instanton singularity can be described in terms of vector multiplet variables. This theory has a planar, weak-coupling limit, in which anomalous dimensions of single-trace composite operators can be calculated. At one loop, the calculation reduces to finding the spectrum of a spin-chain with nearest-neighbour interactions. This CFT$_2$ spin-chain matches precisely the one that was previously found as the weak-coupling limit of the integrable system describing the AdS$_3$ side of the duality. We compute the one-loop dilatation operator in a non-trivial compact subsector and show that it corresponds to an integrable spin-chain Hamiltonian. This provides the first direct evidence of integrability on the CFT$_2$ side of the correspondence.

Starting from the ACV approach to transplanckian scattering, we present a development of the reduced-action model in which the (improved) eikonal representation is able to describe particles' motion at large scattering angle and, furthermore, UV-safe (regular) rescattering solutions are found and incorporated in the metric. The resulting particles' shock-waves undergo calculable trajectory shifts and time delays during the scattering process --- which turns out to be consistently described by both action and metric, up to relative order $R^2/b^2$ in the gravitational radius over impact parameter expansion. Some suggestions about the role and the (re)scattering properties of irregular solutions --- not fully investigated here --- are also presented.

We argue that T-duality and F-theory appear automatically in the E_8 gauge bundle perspective of M-theory. The 11-dimensional supergravity four-form determines an E_8 bundle. If we compactify on a two-torus, this data specifies an LLE_8 bundle where LG is a centrally-extended loopgroup of G. If one of the circles of the torus is smaller than sqrt(alpha') then it is also smaller than a nontrivial circle S in the LLE_8 fiber and so a dimensional reduction on the total space of the bundle is not valid. We conjecture that S is the circle on which the T-dual type IIB theory is compactified, with the aforementioned torus playing the role of the F-theory torus. As tests we reproduce the T-dualities between NS5-branes and KK-monopoles, as well as D6 and D7-branes where we find the desired F-theory monodromy. Using Hull's proposal for massive IIA, this realization of T-duality allows us to confirm that the Romans mass is the central extension of our LE_8. In addition this construction immediately reproduces the conjectured formula for global topology change from T-duality with H-flux.

It is observed that the magnetic charges of classical monopole solutions in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with non-abelian unbroken gauge group $H$ are in one-to-one correspondence with coherent states of a dual or magnetic group $\tilde H$. In the spirit of the Goddard-Nuyts-Olive conjecture this observation is interpreted as evidence for a hidden magnetic symmetry of Yang-Mills theory. SU(3) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with unbroken gauge group U(2) is studied in detail. The action of the magnetic group on semi-classical states is given explicitly. Investigations of dyonic excitations show that electric and magnetic symmetry are never manifest at the same time: Non-abelian magnetic charge obstructs the realisation of electric symmetry and vice-versa. On the basis of this fact the charge sectors in the theory are classified and their fusion rules are discussed. Non-abelian electric-magnetic duality is formulated as a map between charge sectors. Coherent states obey particularly simple fusion rules, and in the set of coherent states S-duality can be formulated as an SL(2,Z)-mapping between sectors which leaves the fusion rules invariant.

We argue that deep-inelastic diffractive scaling provides fundamental insight into the QCD Pomeron. The logarithmic scaling violations seen experimentally are in conflict with the scale-invariance of the BFKL Pomeron and with phenomenological two-gluon models. Instead the Pomeron appears as a single gluon at short-distances, indicating the appearance of a Super-Critical phase of Reggeon Field Theory. That the color compensation takes place at a longer distance is consistent with the Pomeron carrying odd color charge parity.

We obtain an exact expression for the enhanced supersymmetry action by turning off particular degrees of freedom of the deformation tensor. We analyze the behavior of the action upon restoring weekly some of the deformation parameters, obtaining a non trivial interaction term between a scalar and the gauge field, breaking the supersymmetry down to N=(1,0). Additionally, we present the corresponding set of unbroken supersymmetry transformations. We work in harmonic superspace in four Euclidean dimensions.

We construct the n-instanton action for the above model with gauge group SU(2), as a function of the collective coordinates of the general self-dual configurations of Atiyah, Drinfeld, Hitchin and Manin (ADHM). We calculate the quantum modulus u = <Tr(A^2)> at the 1-instanton level, and find a discrepancy with Seiberg and Witten's proposed exact solution. As in related models (N=2, N_F=3 or 4), this discrepancy may be resolved by modifying their proposed relation between $\tilde u$ (the parameter in the elliptic curve) and u.

We investigate the spacetime evolution of spin polarization within a hydrodynamic framework based on the de Groot--van Leeuwen--van Weert expressions for energy-momentum and spin tensors. The system's deviation from boost invariance results in the interplay of different spin polarization components, impacting spin observables. We specifically examine the transverse momentum, azimuthal angle, and rapidity dependence of the mean spin polarization vector of $\Lambda$ hyperons. Our results qualitatively align with other models and experimental data on global spin polarization rapidity dependence. While the quadrupole structure is absent in the longitudinal component at midrapidity, our analysis reveals non-trivial signal at forward rapidities that differs from predictions based on the Bjorken expansion.

We study $\widehat{\text{CGHS}}$ gravity, a variant of the matterless Callan-Giddings-Harvey-Strominger model. We show that it describes a universal sector of the near horizon perturbations of non-extremal black holes in higher dimensions. In many respects this theory can be viewed as a flat space analog of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. The result for the Euclidean path integral implies that $\widehat{\text{CGHS}}$ is dual to a Gaussian ensemble that we describe in detail. The simplicity of this theory allows us to compute exact quantities such as the quenched free energy and provides a useful playground to study baby universes, averages and factorization. We also give evidence for the existence of a non-perturbative completion in terms of a matrix model. Finally, flat wormhole solutions are discussed.

A simple consequence of the angular momentum conservation in quantum field theories is that the interference of s-channel amplitudes exchanging particles with different spin J vanishes after complete angular integration. We show that, while this rule holds in scattering processes mediated by a massive graviton in Quantum Gravity, a massless graviton s-channel exchange breaks orthogonality when considering its interference with a scalar-particle s-channel exchange, whenever all the external states are massive. As a consequence, we find that, in the Einstein theory, unitarity implies that angular momentum is not conserved at quantum level in the graviton coupling to massive matter fields. This result can be interpreted as a new anomaly, revealing unknown aspects of the well-known van Dam - Veltman - Zakharov discontinuity.

We reassess the impact of short-distance constraints for the longitudinal component of the hadronic light-by-light amplitude on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu=(g-2)_\mu/2$, by comparing different solutions that have recently appeared in the literature. In particular, we analyze the relevance of the exact axial anomaly and its impact on $a_\mu$ and conclude that it remains rather limited. We show that all recently proposed solutions agree well within uncertainties on the numerical estimate of the impact of short-distance constraints on $a_\mu$, despite differences in the concrete implementation. We also take into account the recently calculated perturbative corrections to the massless quark loop to update our estimate and outline the path towards future improvements.

The set of transition probabilities for a single neutrino emitted from a point source after passage through a turbulent supernova density profile have been found to be random variates drawn from parent distributions whose properties depend upon the stage of the explosion, the neutrino energy and mixing parameters, the observed channel, and the properties of the turbulence such as the amplitude C*. In this paper we examine the consequences of the recently measured mixing angle \theta_13 upon the neutrino flavor transformation in supernova when passing through turbulence. We find the measurements of a relatively large value of \theta_13 means the neutrinos are relatively immune to small, C* < 1%, amplitude turbulence but as C* increases the turbulence effects grow rapidly and spread to all mixing channels. For C* > 10% the turbulence effects in the high (H) density resonance mixing channels are independent of \theta_13 but non-resonant mixing channels are more sensitive to turbulence when \theta_13 is large.

We present the recent data issued from the Halls A and B of Jefferson Laboratory for the Deep Virtual Compton Scattering Process on the proton. An important set of data for beam spin asymmetries, unpolarized cross sections and differences of polarized cross sections have been obtained. We modestly attempt a first "global" analysis of these three observables at a single $<x_B>$, $<Q^2>$ and $<-t>$ kinematic point. We find that it is extremely challenging to describe simultaneously these data in the framework of a few Generalized Parton Distributions models.

I discuss the role of the Delta I = 1/2 selection rule in K -> pi pi decays for the theoretical calculations of eps'/eps. Lacking reliable ``first principle'' calculations, phenomenological approaches may help in understanding correlations among different contributions and available experimental data. In particular, in the chiral quark model approach the same dynamics which underlies the Delta I = 1/2 selection rule in kaon decays appears to enhance the K -> pi pi matrix elements of the gluonic penguins, thus driving eps'/eps in the range of the recent experimental measurements.

We establish a direct connection between scattering amplitudes in planar four-dimensional theories and a remarkable mathematical structure known as the positive Grassmannian. The central physical idea is to focus on on-shell diagrams as objects of fundamental importance to scattering amplitudes. We show that the all-loop integrand in N=4 SYM is naturally represented in this way. On-shell diagrams in this theory are intimately tied to a variety of mathematical objects, ranging from a new graphical representation of permutations to a beautiful stratification of the Grassmannian G(k,n) which generalizes the notion of a simplex in projective space. All physically important operations involving on-shell diagrams map to canonical operations on permutations; in particular, BCFW deformations correspond to adjacent transpositions. Each cell of the positive Grassmannian is naturally endowed with positive coordinates and an invariant measure which determines the on-shell function associated with the diagram. This understanding allows us to classify and compute all on-shell diagrams, and give a geometric understanding for all the non-trivial relations among them. Yangian invariance of scattering amplitudes is transparently represented by diffeomorphisms of G(k,n) which preserve the positive structure. Scattering amplitudes in (1+1)-dimensional integrable systems and the ABJM theory in (2+1) dimensions can both be understood as special cases of these ideas. On-shell diagrams in theories with less (or no) supersymmetry are associated with exactly the same structures in the Grassmannian, but with a measure deformed by a factor encoding ultraviolet singularities. The Grassmannian representation of on-shell processes also gives a new understanding of the all-loop integrand for scattering amplitudes, presenting all integrands in a novel dLog form which directly reflects the underlying positive structure.

We examine the structure of soft supersymmetry breaking terms in KKLT models of flux compactification with low energy supersymmetry. Moduli are stabilized by fluxes and nonperturbative dynamics while a de Sitter vacuum is obtained by adding supersymmetry breaking anti-branes. We discuss the characteristic pattern of mass scales in such a set-up as well as some features of 4D N=1 supergravity breakdown by anti-branes. Anomaly mediation is found to always give an important contribution and one can easily arrange for flavor-independent soft terms. In its most attractive realization, the modulus mediation is comparable to the anomaly mediation, yielding a quite distinctive sparticle spectrum. In addition, the axion component of the modulus/dilaton superfield dynamically cancels the relative CP phase between the contributions of anomaly and modulus mediation, thereby avoiding dangerous SUSY CP violation.

In addition, the axion component of the modulus/dilaton superfield dynamically cancels the relative CP phase between the contributions of anomaly and modulus mediation, thereby avoiding dangerous SUSY CP violation.

The stability of the Bianchi type I anisotropic brane cosmology is analyzed in this paper. We also study the effect of the brane solution by comparing the models on the 3-brane and the models in the conventional Einstein's space. Analysis is presented for two different models: one with a perfect fluid and the other one with a dilaton field. It is shown that the anisotropic expansion is smeared out dynamically for both theories in the large time limit independent of the models with different types of matter. The initial states are, however, dramatically different. A primordial anisotropic expansion will grow for the conventional Einstein's theory. On the other hand, it is shown that the initial state is highly isotropic for the brane universe except for a very particular case. Moreover, it is also shown that the Bianchi type I anisotropic cosmology is stable against any anisotropic perturbation for both theories in the large time limit.

Hairy black holes and gravitational solitons in three dimensions for the new massive gravity theory proposed by Bergshoeff, Hohm and Townsend (BHT) are considered at the special case when there is a unique maximally symmetric solution. Following the Brown-York approach with suitable counterterms, it is shown that the soliton possesses a fixed negative mass which coincides with the one of AdS spacetime regardless the value of the integration constant that describes it. Hence, the soliton can be naturally regarded as a degenerate ground state labeled by a single modulus parameter. The Euclidean action, endowed with suitable counterterms, is shown to be finite and independent of modulus and hair parameters for both classes of solutions, and in the case of hairy black holes the free energy in the semiclassical approximation is reproduced. Modular invariance allows to show that the gravitational hair turns out to be determined by the modulus parameter. According to Cardy's formula, it is shown that the semiclassical entropy agrees with the microscopic counting of states provided the modulus parameter of the ground state is spontaneously fixed, which suggests that the hairy black hole is in a broken phase of the theory. Indeed, it is found that there is a critical temperature characterizing a first order phase transition between the static hairy black hole and the soliton which, due to the existence of gravitational hair, can take place in the semiclassical regime.

The domain of allowed von Neumann entropies of a holographic field theory carves out a polyhedral cone -- the holographic entropy cone -- in entropy space. Such polyhedral cones are characterized by their extreme rays. For an arbitrary number of parties, it is known that the so-called perfect tensors are extreme rays. In this work, we constrain the form of the remaining extreme rays by showing that they correspond to geometries with vanishing mutual information between any two parties, ensuring the absence of Bell pair type entanglement between them. This is tantamount to proving that besides subadditivity, all non-redundant holographic entropy inequalities are superbalanced, i.e. not only do UV divergences cancel in the inequality itself (assuming smooth entangling surfaces), but also in the purification thereof.

We model the back-reaction of a static observer in four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime by means of a singular $\mathbb Z_q$ quotient. The set of fixed points of the $\mathbb Z_q$ action consists of a pair of codimension two minimal surfaces given by 2-spheres in the Euclidean geometry. The introduction of an orbifold parameter $q>1$ permits the construction of an effective action for the bulk gravity theory with support on each of these minimal surfaces. The effective action corresponds to that of Liouville field theory on a 2-sphere with a finite vacuum expectation value of the Liouville field. The intrinsic Liouville theory description yields a thermal Cardy entropy that we reintrepret as a modular free energy at temperature $T=q^{-1}$, whereupon the Gibbons--Hawking entropy arises as the corresponding modular entropy. We further observe that in the limit $q\to\infty$ the four-dimensional geometry reduces to that of global dS$_3$ spacetime, where the two original minimal surfaces can be mapped to the future and past infinities of dS$_3$ by means of a double Wick rotation. In this limit, the Liouville theories on the minimal surfaces become boundary theories at zero temperature whose total central charge equals that computed using the dS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence.

We construct a simple local model of dynamical supersymmetry breaking. The model is a one generation SU(5) that arises from a IIB Z_N orientifold. It does not admit a runaway direction and is argued to stabilize the blowup mode related to the corresponding U(1) factor. The theory demonstrates the existence of a new class of "blowup" fractional branes. We further discuss a compact realization of the quiver on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold which enables one to add fluxes and stabilize the complex structure moduli.

We show that the Casimir force is attractive and that it diverges as the distance between the branes approaches a critical value $L_c$. Below this critical distance $L_c$ the vacuum state $\phi=0$ of the theory is unstable, due to the birth of a tachyon, and the field condenses.

Large extra dimensions lower the Planck scale to values soon accessible. Motivated by string theory, the models of large extra dimensions predict a vast number of new effects in the energy range of the lowered Planck scale, among them the production of TeV-mass black holes. But not only is the Planck scale the energy scale at which effects of modified gravity become important. String theory as well as noncommutative quantum mechanics suggest that the Planck length acts a a minimal length in nature, providing a natural ultraviolet cutoff and a limit to the possible resolution of spacetime. The minimal length effects thus become important in the same energy range in which the black holes are expected to form. In this paper we examine the influence of the minimal length on the expected production rate of the black holes.

We develop the analytic bootstrap in several directions. First, we discuss the appearance of nonperturbative effects in the Lorentzian inversion formula, which are exponentially suppressed at large spin but important at finite spin. We show that these effects are important for precision applications of the analytic bootstrap in the context of the 3d Ising and O(2) models. In the former they allow us to reproduce the spin-2 stress tensor with error at the $10^{-5}$ level while in the latter requiring that we reproduce the stress tensor allows us to predict the coupling to the leading charge-2 operator. We also extend perturbative calculations in the lightcone bootstrap to fermion 4-point functions in 3d, predicting the leading and subleading asymptotic behavior for the double-twist operators built out of two fermions.

Inspired in discussions presented lately regarding Lorentz-violating interaction terms in \cite{13,6}, we propose here a slightly different version for the coupling term. We will consider a modified quantum electrodynamics with violation of Lorentz symmetry defined in a $\left( 2+1\right) $-dimensional spacetime. We define the Lagrangian density with a Lorentz-violating interaction, where the the spacetime dimensionality is explicitly taken into account in its definition. The work encompasses an analysis of this model at both zero and finite-temperature, where very interesting features are known to occur due to the spacetime dimensionality. With that in mind we expect that the spacetime dimensionality may provide new insights about the radiative generation of higher-derivative terms into the action, implying in a new Lorentz-violating electrodynamics, as well the nonminimal coupling may provide interesting implications on the thermodynamical quantities.

With that in mind we expect that the spacetime dimensionality may provide new insights about the radiative generation of higher-derivative terms into the action, implying in a new Lorentz-violating electrodynamics, as well the nonminimal coupling may provide interesting implications on the thermodynamical quantities.

The nature of dark matter remains one of the most important open questions in physics. Although dark matter effects have only been observed gravitationally, the order-one ratio between conventional matter and dark matter hints to a non-gravitational link between them. In this contribution, we search for such a link using the IceCube high-energy starting event (HESE) sample, which contains some of the highest energy neutrinos ever observed. These are dominated by a yet unidentified high-energy diffuse astrophysical component. Using these events we look for evidence of an excess due to dark matter decay or annihilation, and also for a novel signature due to high-energy neutrinos scattering with dark matter. Finally, in this contribution, we will summarize and highlight the complementarity between the obtained limits for these two scenarios.

We extend the work of Aarts et al., including an imaginary chemical potential for quark number into the Sakai-Sugimoto model and codimension k defect theories. The phase diagram of these models are a function of three parameters, the temperature, chemical potential and the asymptotic separation of the flavour branes, related to a mass for the quarks in the boundary theories. We compute the phase diagrams and the pressure due to the flavours of the theories as a function of these parameters and show that there are Roberge-Weiss transitions in the high temperature phases, chiral symmetry restored for the Sakai-Sugimoto model and deconfined for the defect models, while at low temperatures there are no Roberge-Weiss transitions. In all the models we consider the transitions between low and high temperature phases are first order, hence the points where they meet the Roberge-Weiss lines are triple points. The pressure for the defect theories scales in the way we expect from dimensional analysis while the Sakai-Sugimoto model exhibits unusual scaling. We show that the models we consider are analytic in \mu^2 when \mu^2 is small.

In this work we investigate the most general non-minimally coupled $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetric scalar-tensor effective field theory (EFT) of gravity up to dimension six in the operator expansion. The most general action is presented along with its equations of motion both in the covariant form and also in the coordinate form resulting from an FLRW analysis. The pressure and density of the scalar field are found as well as the equation of state parameter and some cosmological parameters. We analyse the background evolution of the scalar field within the framework of the slow-roll approximation and provide a brief discussion of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry breaking of the scalar field which gives an order of magnitude constraint on one of the coupling constants. To provide a concrete example we choose a couple of potentials for the scalar field and explore the cosmology. Some brief comments on the range of validity of the EFT are also offered as well as the connections between the general model and well-known examples in the literature.

In this paper, we take the slowly rotating black three-brane background and perturb it by introducing a vector gauge field. We find the components of the gauge field through Maxwell equations and Bianchi identities. Using currents and some ansatz we find Fick's first law at long wavelength regime. An interesting result for this non-trivial supergravity background is that the diffusion constant on the stretched horizon which emerges from Fick's first law is a complex constant. The pure imaginary part of the diffusion constant appears because the black three-brane has angular momentum. By taking the static limit of the corresponding black brane the well known diffusion constant will be recovered. On the other hand, from the point of view of the Fick's second law, we have the dispersion relation $\omega=-iDq^{2}$ and we found a damping of hydrodynamical flow in the holographically dual theory. Existence of imaginary term in the diffusion constant introduces an oscillating propagation of the gauge field in the dual field theory.

Quasi-topological terms in gravity can be viewed as those that give no contribution to the equations of motion for a special subclass of metric ans\"atze. They therefore play no r\^ole in constructing these solutions, but can affect the general perturbations. We consider Einstein gravity extended with Ricci tensor polynomial invariants, which admits Einstein metrics with appropriate effective cosmological constants as its vacuum solutions. We construct three types of quasi-topological gravities. The first type is for the most general static metrics with spherical, toroidal or hyperbolic isometries. The second type is for the special static metrics where $g_{tt} g_{rr}$ is constant. The third type is the linearized quasi-topological gravities on the Einstein metrics. We construct and classify results that are either dependent on or independent of dimensions, up to the tenth order. We then consider a subset of these three types and obtain Lovelock-like quasi-topological gravities, that are independent of the dimensions. The linearized gravities on Einstein metrics on all dimensions are simply Einstein and hence ghost free. The theories become quasi-topological on static metrics in one specific dimension, but non-trivial in others. We also focus on the quasi-topological Ricci cubic invariant in four dimensions as a specific example to study its effect on holography, including shear viscosity, thermoelectric DC conductivities and butterfly velocity. In particular, we find that the holographic diffusivity bounds can be violated by the quasi-topological terms, which can induce an extra massive mode that yields a butterfly velocity unbound above.

We study partition functions of low-energy effective theories of M2-branes, whose type IIB brane constructions include orientifolds. We mainly focus on circular quiver superconformal Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$, whose gauge group is $O(2N+1)\times USp(2N)\times \cdots \times O(2N+1)\times USp(2N)$. This theory is the natural generalization of the $\mathcal{N}=5$ ABJM theory with the gauge group $O(2N+1)_{2k} \times USp(2N)_{-k}$. We find that the partition function of this type of theory has a simple relation to the one of the M2-brane theory without the orientifolds, whose gauge group is $U(N)\times \cdots \times U(N)$. By using this relation, we determine an exact form of the grand partition function of the $O(2N+1)_{2} \times USp(2N)_{-1}$ ABJM theory, where its supersymmetry is expected to be enhanced to $\mathcal{N}=6$. As another interesting application, we discuss that our result gives a natural physical interpretation of a relation between the grand partition functions of the $U(N+1)_4 \times U(N)_{-4}$ ABJ theory and $U(N)_2 \times U(N)_{-2}$ ABJM theory, recently conjectured by Grassi-Hatsuda-Mari\~no. We also argue that partition functions of $\hat{A}_3$ quiver theories have representations in terms of an ideal Fermi gas systems associated with $\hat{D}$-type quiver theories and this leads an interesting relation between certain $U(N)$ and $USp(2N)$ supersymmetric gauge theories.

We applied QCD Light Cone Sum Rules to estimate power corrections to the helicity-conserving amplitude in the process $\gamma^*\gamma\to \pi\pi$. We found that above $Q^2 \sim 4$ GeV$^2$ power corrections are numerically small and the twist-2 part dominates.The amplitude can be reliably calculated in this region using models of $2 \pi$ distribution amplitudes as an input. We found that the magnitude of the NLO corrections depends rather strongly on the normalization of the gluonic distribution amplitude.

Motivated by the recently measured muon's anomalous magnetic moment $a_{\mu}$, we examine the supersymmetry contribution to $a_{\mu}$ in various mediation models of supersymmetry breaking which lead to predictive flavor conserving soft parameters at high energy scale. The studied models include dilaton/modulus-mediated models in heterotic string/$M$ theory, gauge-mediated model, no-scale or gaugino-mediated model, and also the minimal and deflected anomaly-mediated models. For each model, the range of $a^{SUSY}_{\mu}$ allowed by other experimental constraints, e.g. b --> s\gamma and the collider bounds on superparticle masses, is obtained together with the corresponding parameter region of the model. Gauge-mediated models with low messenger scale can give any $a^{SUSY}_{\mu}$ within the $2\sigma$ bound. In many other models, b --> s\gamma favors $a^{SUSY}_{\mu}$ smaller than either the $-1\sigma$ value ($26\times 10^{-10}$) or the central value ($42\times 10^{-10}$).

Like the two-photon and two-gluon decays of the $P$-wave $\chi_{c0,2}$ and $\chi_{b0,2}$ charmonium state for which the Born term produces a very simple decgays amplitude in terms of an effective Lagrangian with two-quark local operator, the Born term for the processes $c\bar{d} \to (\pi,K) \ell \nu $ and $b \bar{d}\to (\pi, K) \ell\nu $, could also produce the $D$ and $B$ meson semileptonic decays with the light meson $\pi, K$ in the final state. In this approach to heavy-light meson form factors with the $\pi$, K meson treated as Goldstone boson, a simple expression is found for the decays form factors, given as~: $ f_{+}(0)/(1 -q^{2}/(m_{H}^{2}+ m_{\pi}^{2}))$, with $H=D,B$ for $D,B \to \pi$ form factors, and $f_{+}(0)/(1 -q^{2}/(m_{H}^{2}+ m_{K}^{2}))$ for $B,D\to K$ form factor. The purpose of this paper is to show that this expression for the form factors could describe rather well the $q^{2}$- behaviour observed in the BaBar, Belle and BESIII measurements and lattice simulation. In particular, the $D\to K$ form factors are in good agreement with the measured values in the whole range of $q^{2}$ showing evidence for $SU(3)$ breaking with the presence of $m_{K}^{2}$ term in the quark propagator, but some corrections to the Born term are needed at large $q^{2}$ for $D,B \to \pi$ form factors.

In string-inspired supergravity theory, K\"{a}hler metric of chiral matter fields often has a pole. Such K\"{a}hler metric is interesting from the viewpoint of the framework of the pole inflation, where the scalar potential can be stretched out to be flat around the pole for a canonically normalized field and inflation can be realized. However, when K\"{a}hler metric has a pole, the scalar potential can also have a pole at the same point in supergravity theory. We study such supergravity models with the pole, and provide numerical analysis of inflationary dynamics and resultant density perturbation. In contrast with usual pole inflation models, inflation in this supergravity based model occurs not on the pole but region apart from the pole. We show that the existence of the pole in the scalar potential is crucial nevertheless. We also examine attractor behavior of our model.

In string-inspired supergravity theory, K\"{a}hler metric of chiral matter fields often has a pole. Such K\"{a}hler metric is interesting from the viewpoint of the framework of the pole inflation, where the scalar potential can be stretched out to be flat around the pole for a canonically normalized field and inflation can be realized. However, when K\"{a}hler metric has a pole, the scalar potential can also have a pole at the same point in supergravity theory. We study such supergravity models with the pole, and provide numerical analysis of inflationary dynamics and resultant density perturbation. In contrast with usual pole inflation models, inflation in this supergravity based model occurs not on the pole but region apart from the pole. We show that the existence of the pole in the scalar potential is crucial nevertheless. We also examine attractor behavior of our model.

Superconformal matter multiplets play a crucial role in the construction of Poincare supergravity invariants. Off-shell multiplets allow for construction of general matter couplings in supergravity. In Nucl. Phys. B214 (1983) 519-531, relaxed hypermultiplet was constructed in rigid supersymmetry which on coupling with the real scalar multiplet allowed for an off-shell formulation of the rigid hypermultiplet. In this paper, we extend the relaxed hypermultiplet to conformal supergravity. For consistency with the superconformal algebra, we find that the fields have to be allowed to transform in a non-canonical way under SU(2) symmetry. We find suitable field redefinitions to obtain fields which are irreducible representations of SU(2) R-symmetry and present the full non-linear transformation rule.

In neutrino oscillation with non-standard interactions (NSI) the system is enriched with CP violation caused by phases due to NSI in addition to the standard lepton Kobayashi-Maskawa phase \delta. In this paper we show that it is possible to disentangle the two CP violating effects by measurement of muon neutrino appearance by a near-far two detector setting in neutrino factory experiments. Prior to the quantitative analysis we investigate in detail the various features of the neutrino oscillations with NSI, but under the assumption that only one of the NSI elements, \epsilon_{e \mu} or \epsilon_{e \tau}, is present. They include synergy between the near and the far detectors, the characteristic differences between the \epsilon_{e \mu} and \epsilon_{e\tau} systems, and in particular, the parameter degeneracy. Finally, we use a concrete setting with the muon energy of 50 GeV and magnetized iron detectors at two baselines, one at L=3000 km and the other at L=7000 km, each having a fiducial mass of 50 kton to study the discovery potential of NSI and its CP violation effects. We demonstrate, by assuming 4 \times 10^{21} useful muon decays for both polarities, that one can identify non-standard CP violation down to | epsilon_{e \mu} | \simeq \text{a few} \times 10^{-3}, and | \epsilon_{e \tau} | \simeq 10^{-2} at 3\sigma CL for \theta_{13} down to \sin^2 2\theta_{13} = 10^{-4} in most of the region of \delta. The impact of the existence of NSI on the measurement of \delta and the mass hierarchy is also worked out.

We first briefly review some aspects of the techniques of dealing with ultraviolet divergences in Feynman amplitudes in an Euclidian $D$-dimensional space-time. Next we consider compactification of a $d$-dimensional ($d\leq D$) subspace. This includes effects of temperature and of compactification of $d-1$ spatial coordinates. Then we show how dimensional renormalization can be implemented for a field theory defined on this Euclidian space-time with a compactified subspace.

We argue that in models of inflation with two scalar fields and non-canonical kinetic terms there is a possibility of obtaining a red tilt of the power spectrum of curvature perturbations from noncanonicality-induced interactions between the curvature and isocurvature perturbations. We describe an extremely simple model realizing this idea, study numerically its predictions for the perturbations and discuss applications in realistic scenarios of inflation. We discuss to what extent in this model the scale of the inflationary potential can be decoupled from the amplitude of the density fluctuations.

By relating fine and hyperfine spittings for l=1 states in bottomium we can factor out the less tractable part of the perturbative and nonperturbative effects. Reliable predictions for one of the fine splittings and the hyperfine splitting can then be made calculating in terms of the remaining fine splitting, which is then taken from experiment; perturbative and nonperturbative corrections to these relations are under full control. The method (which produces reasonable results even for the $c{\bar c}$ system) predicts a value of 1.5 MeV for the $(s=1)-(s=0)$ splitting in $b{\bar b}$, opposite in sign to that in $c{\bar c}$. For this result the contribution of the gluon condensate $<\alpha_s G^2>$ is essential, as any model (in particular potential models) which neglects this would give a negative $b{\bar b}$ hyperfine splitting.

We evaluate the three bulk viscosity coefficients $\zeta_1, \zeta_2$ and $\zeta_3$ in the color-flavor locked (CFL) superfluid phase due to phonons and kaons, which are the lightest modes in that system. We first show that the computation is rather analogous to the computation of the same coefficients in superfluid $^4$He, as due to phonons and rotons. For astrophysical applications, we also find the value of the viscosities when there is a periodic disturbance, and the viscosities also depend on the frequency of the disturbance. In a temperature regime that might be of astrophysical relevance, we find that the contributions of both the phonons and kaons should be considered, and that $\zeta_2$ is much less that the same coefficient in unpaired quark matter

This leads to a set of deformed star-products beyond the Seiberg--Witten limit, and allows to reinterpret the couplings in terms of a deformed integration prescription along a Wilson line in the non-commutative set-up.

Lepton-number violation (LNV), in general, implies nonzero Majorana masses for the Standard Model neutrinos. Since neutrino masses are very small, for generic candidate models of the physics responsible for LNV, the rates for almost all experimentally accessible LNV observables -- except for neutrinoless double-beta decay -- are expected to be exceedingly small. Guided by effective-operator considerations of LNV phenomena, we identify a complete family of models where lepton number is violated but the generated Majorana neutrino masses are tiny, even if the new-physics scale is below 1 TeV. We explore the phenomenology of these models, including charged-lepton flavor-violating phenomena and baryon-number-violating phenomena, identifying scenarios where the allowed rates for $\mu^-\to e^+$-conversion in nuclei are potentially accessible to next-generation experiments.

We find a mapping between antisymmetric tensor matter fields and the Weinberg's 2(2j+1)- component "bispinor" fields. Equations which describe the j=1 antisymmetric tensor field coincide with the Hammer-Tucker equations entirely and with the Weinberg ones within a subsidiary condition, the Klein-Gordon equation. The new Lagrangian for the Weinberg theory is proposed which is scalar and Hermitian. It is built on the basis of the concept of the `Weinberg doubles'. Origins of a contradiction between the classical theory, the Weinberg theorem B-A=\lambda for quantum relativistic fields and the claimed `longitudity' of the antisymmetric tensor field (transformed on the (1,0)\oplus (0,1) Lorentz group representation) after quantization are clarified. Analogs of the j=1/2 Feynman-Dyson propagator are presented in the framework of the j=1 Weinberg theory. It is then shown that under the definite choice of field functions and initial and boundary conditions the massless j=1 Weinberg-Tucker-Hammer equations contain all information that the Maxwell equations for electromagnetic field have. Thus, the former appear to be of use in describing some physical processes for which that could be necessitated or be convenient.

They thereby capture in a precise way the singular behavior of products of quantum fields at a point as well as their ``finite trends.'' In this article, we shall review the fundamental properties of OPEs and their role in the formulation of interacting QFT in curved spacetime, the ``flow relations'' in coupling parameters satisfied by the OPE coefficients, the role of OPEs in conformal field theories, and the manner in which general theorems -- specifically, the PCT theorem -- can be formulated using OPEs in a curved spacetime setting.

Introducing a chemical potential in the functional method, we construct the effective action of QED$_3$ with a Chern-Simons term. We examine a possibility that charge condensation $\langle\psi^\dagger\psi \rangle$ remains nonzero at the limit of the zero chemical potential. If it happens, spontaneous magnetization occurs due to the Gauss' law constraint which connects the charge condensation to the background magnetic field. It is found that the stable vacuum with nonzero charge condensation is realized only when fermion masses are sent to zero, keeping it lower than the chemical potential. This result suggests that the spontaneous magnetization is closely related to the fermion mass.

We have worked for some time on a model for dark matter, in which dark matter consists of small bubbles of a new speculated type of vacuum, which are pumped up by some ordinary matter such as diamond, so as to resist the pressure of the domain wall separating the two vacua. Here we put forward thoughts on, how such macroscopic pearls would have their surrounding dust cleaned off passing through the atmosphere and the Earth, and what their distribution would be as a function of the depth of their stopping point and the distribution of the radiation emitted from them. In our model we assume that they radiate 3.5 keV electrons and photons, after having been excited during their passage into the Earth. The purpose of such an estimation of the radiation distribution is to explain the truly mysterious fact that, among all the underground experiments seeking dark matter colliding with the Earth material, only the DAMA-LIBRA experiment has seen any evidence of dark matter. This is an experiment based on solid NaI scintillators and is rather deep at 1400 m. It is our point that we can arrange the main radiation to appear in the relatively deep DAMA- LIBRA site, and explain that the dark matter pearls cannot stop in a fluid, such as xenon in the xenon based experiments.

We propose a scenario to retrodict the top and bottom mass and the Abelian gauge coupling from first principles in a microscopic model including quantum gravity. In our approximation, antiscreening quantum-gravity fluctuations induce an asymptotically safe fixed point for the Abelian hypercharge leading to a uniquely fixed infrared value that is observationally viable for a particular choice of microscopic gravitational parameters. The unequal quantum numbers of the top and bottom quark lead to different fixed-point values for the top and bottom Yukawa under the impact of gauge and gravity fluctuations. This results in a dynamically generated mass difference between the two quarks. To work quantitatively, the preferred ratio of electric charges of bottom and top in our approximation lies in close vicinity to the Standard-Model value of $Q_b/Q_t =-1/2$.

The anomaly-induced inflation (modified Starobinsky model) is based on the application of the effective quantum field theory approach to the Early Universe. We present a brief general review of this model with a special attention to the existing difficulties and unsolved problems.
