Two dimensional gauge theories with charged matter fields are useful toy models for studying gauge theory dynamics, and in particular for studying the duality of large $N$ gauge theories to perturbative string theories. A useful starting point for such studies is the pure Yang-Mills theory, which is exactly solvable. Its $1/N$ expansion was interpreted as a string theory by Gross and Taylor 30 years ago, but they did not provide a worldsheet action for this string theory, and such an action is useful for coupling it to matter fields. The chiral sector of the Yang-Mills theory can be written as a sum over holomorphic maps and has useful worldsheet descriptions, but the full theory includes more general extremal-area maps; a formal worldsheet action including all these maps in a "topological rigid string theory" was written by Ho\v{r}ava many years ago, but various subtleties arise when trying to use it for computations. In this paper we suggest a Polyakov-like generalization of Ho\v{r}ava's worldsheet action which is well-defined, and we show how it reproduces the free limit of the Yang-Mills theory, both by formal arguments and by explicitly computing its partition function in several cases. In the future we plan to generalize this string theory to the finite-coupling gauge theory, and to analyze it with boundaries, corresponding either to Wilson loops or to dynamical matter fields in the fundamental representation.

The two-Higgs-doublet with additional scalar (2HDM$+S$) model is one proposed to account for several anomalies that have persisted and increased in significance over runs 1 and 2 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In addition to this, 2HDM+$S$ also supplies a potential Dark Matter (DM) candidate coupling to the Standard Model via the $S$ boson. So far, this model has been difficult to constrain by indirect means. Here we will explore the potential of Omega Centauri, a nearby globular cluster to constrain this interesting DM model. Although such structures are generally considered to be lacking in DM, arguments have been made that this cluster is in fact the relic of a tidally stripped dwarf galaxy. In such a scenario, the DM content would be significant. Combined with its nearness, this would suggest a potential for powerful indirect dark matter signals. We employ both Fermi-LAT gamma-ray data, as well as MeerKAT telescope sensitivities to determine the current status of Omega Centauri as a source of indirect constraints on Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in a 2HDM+$S$ scenario and for general annihilation channels.

A generalized linear sigma model is employed to study the quark structure of low lying scalar as well as pseudoscalar states. The model allows the possible mixing of quark anti-quark states with others made of two quarks and two antiquarks but no a priori assumption is made about the quark contents of the predicted physical states. Effects of SU(3) symmetry breaking are included. The lighter conventional pseudoscalars turn out to be primarily of two quark type whereas the lighter scalars have very large four quark admixtures.

We present a comprehensive description of the Higgs-boson couplings to Standard Model fermions and bosons in Randall-Sundrum (RS) models with a Higgs sector localized on or near the infra-red brane. The analytic results for all relevant Higgs couplings including the loop-induced couplings to gluons and photons are summarized for both the minimal and the custodial RS model. The RS predictions for all relevant Higgs decays are compared with current LHC data, which already exclude significant portions of the parameter space. We show that the latest measurements are sensitive to KK gluon masses up to $20\, \rm{TeV} \times (y_*/3)$ at $95\%$ confidence level for anarchic 5D Yukawa couplings bounded from above by $|(Y_f)_{ij}| < y_*$. We also derive the sensitivity levels attainable in the high-luminosity run of the LHC and at a future linear collider.

The electromagnetic field inside a spherical cavity of large radius R is considered in the presence of stationary charge and current densities. R provides infra-red regularization while maintaining gauge invariance. The quantum ground state of physical photons forming the magnetic field is found to be a coherent state with a definite mean occupation number. The electric field, which is determined by the Gauss law constraint, is maintained by a minimum uncertainty coherent state, according to the projection operator approach to the quantization of constrained systems. The mean occupation number of this state is proportional to the square of the total charge. The results confirm formulae obtained previously from a calculation with a finite photon mass for infra-red regularization.

We consider decays of the lowest-lying radially excited baryons. Assuming a single-quark decay approximation, and negligible configuration mixing, we make model-independent predictions for the partial decay widths to final states with a single meson. Masses of unobserved states are predicted using an old mass formula rederived using large-$N_c$ QCD. The momentum dependence of the one-body decay amplitude is determined phenomenologically by fitting to observed decays. Comparison of these predictions to experiment may shed light on whether the Roper resonance can be interpreted as a three-quark state.

The exploration of the universe has recently entered a new era thanks to the multi-messenger paradigm, characterized by a continuous increase in the quantity and quality of experimental data that is obtained by the detection of the various cosmic messengers (photons, neutrinos, cosmic rays and gravitational waves) from numerous origins. They give us information about their sources in the universe and the properties of the intergalactic medium. Moreover, multi-messenger astronomy opens up the possibility to search for phenomenological signatures of quantum gravity. On the one hand, the most energetic events allow us to test our physical theories at energy regimes which are not directly accessible in accelerators; on the other hand, tiny effects in the propagation of very high energy particles could be amplified by cosmological distances. After decades of merely theoretical investigations, the possibility of obtaining phenomenological indications of Planck-scale effects is a revolutionary step in the quest for a quantum theory of gravity, but it requires cooperation between different communities of physicists (both theoretical and experimental). This review is aimed at promoting this cooperation by giving a state-of-the art account of the interdisciplinary expertise that is needed in the effective search of quantum gravity footprints in the production, propagation and detection of cosmic messengers.

Dielectron production in the $\pi N$ interaction at not large energies is studied. The dominant contribution of the $\Delta$-isobar creation in the intermediate state at incident pion momenta of about 0.3-0.4 GeV$/$c is shown. The experimental distributions over the angle and effective mass $M_{e^+e_-}$ of the $e^+e^-$ pair are described satisfactorily. This stimulated us to present theoretical predictions for the $M_{e^+e_-}$ distribution in the process $\pi^- p\rightarrow ne^+e^-$ at different incident momenta, which could be verified, for example, by the HADES experiments.

The dominant contribution of the $\Delta$-isobar creation in the intermediate state at incident pion momenta of about 0.3-0.4 GeV$/$c is shown. The experimental distributions over the angle and effective mass $M_{e^+e_-}$ of the $e^+e^-$ pair are described satisfactorily. This stimulated us to present theoretical predictions for the $M_{e^+e_-}$ distribution in the process $\pi^- p\rightarrow ne^+e^-$ at different incident momenta, which could be verified, for example, by the HADES experiments.

We study $\mathcal{W}_3$ toroidal conformal blocks for degenerate primary fields in AdS/CFT context. In the large central charge limit $\mathcal{W}_3$ algebra reduces to $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ algebra and $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ blocks are defined as contributions to $\mathcal{W}_3$ blocks coming from the generators of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ subalgebra. We consider the construction of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ toroidal blocks in terms of Wilson lines operators of $3d$ Chern-Simons gravity in the thermal AdS$_3$ space-time. According to the correspondence, degenerate primary fields are associated with Wilson lines operators acting in the corresponding finite-dimensional $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ representations. We verify this dual construction for one-point toroidal block using $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ tensor technique in the bulk theory and an algorithm based on AGT correspondence in the boundary CFT.

Hypermultiplet couplings in type IIA string theory on a Calabi-Yau space can be quantum corrected by D2-brane instantons wrapping special Lagrangian cycles. On the other hand, hypermultiplet couplings in the heterotic string on a K3 surface are corrected by world-sheet instantons wrapping curves. In a class of examples, we relate these two sets of instanton corrections. We first present an analogue of the c-map for the heterotic string via a dual flux compactification of M-theory. Using this duality, we propose two ways of capturing quantum corrections to hypermultiplets. We then use the orientifold limit of certain F-theory compactifications to relate curves in K3 to special Lagrangians in dual type IIA compactifications. We conclude with some results from perturbative string theory for hypermultiplet F-terms and a conjecture about the topology of brane instantons.

Primary graviton spectra, produced via stimulated emission from an initial Bose-Einstein distribution, are enhanced for typical scales larger than the redshifted thermal wavelength. A mixed state of phonons induces a secondary graviton spectrum which is hereunder computed in terms of three parameters (i.e. the number of phonon species, the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the thermal wavelengths of the mixture). The primary and secondary graviton spectra are shown to be sensitive, respectively, to the first-order and second-order correlation properties of the initial quantum mixture so that the semiclassical theory is argued to be generally inadequate in this context. For particular values of the parameters the secondary contribution may turn out to be comparable with the primary spectrum over large-scales.

Using the Steiner-Weyl expansion formula for parallel manifolds and the so called gonihedric principle we find a large class of discrete integral invariants which are defined on simplicial manifolds of various dimensions. These integral invariants include the discrete version of the Hilbert-Einstein action found by Regge and alternative actions which are linear with respect to the size of the manifold. In addition the concept of generalized deficit angles appear in a natural way and is related to higher order curvature terms. These angles may be used to introduce various aspects of rigidity in simplicial quantum gravity.

The small quark mixing, described by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix in the Standard Model, may be a clue to reveal new physics around the TeV scale. We consider a simple scenario that extra particles in a hidden sector radiatively mediate the flavor violation to the quark sector around the TeV scale and effectively realize the observed CKM matrix. The lightest particle in the hidden sector, whose contribution to the CKM matrix is expected to be dominant, is a good dark matter (DM) candidate, so we focus on the contribution, and discuss the DM physics. In this scenario, there is an explicit relation between the CKM matrix and flavor violating couplings, such as four-quark couplings, because both are radiatively induced by the particles in the hidden sector. Then, we can explicitly find the DM mass region and the size of Yukawa couplings between the DM and quarks, based on the study of flavor physics and DM physics. In conclusion, we show that DM mass in our scenario is around the TeV scale, and the Yukawa couplings are between ${\cal O}(0.01)$ and ${\cal O}(1)$. The spin-independent DM scattering cross section is estimated as ${\cal O}(10^{-9})$ [pb]. An extra colored particle is also predicted at the ${\cal O}(10)$ TeV scale.

The path integral of a gauge theory is studied in Coulomb-like gauges. The Christ-Lee terms of operator ordering are reproduced {\it{within}} the path integration framework. In the presence of fermions, a new operator term, in addition to that of Christ-Lee, is discovered. Such kind of terms is found to be instrumental in restoring the invariance of the effective Lagrangian under a field dependent gauge transformation, which underlies the BRST symmetry. A unitary regularization scheme which maintains manifest BRST symmetry and is free from energy divergences is proposed for a nonabelian gauge field.

We study and compute supersymmetric observables for line defects in 3d $\mathcal{N}\ge4$ theories. Our setup is a novel supersymmetric configuration involving line operators and local operators living on a linked circle. The algebra of the local operators is described by a topological quantum mechanics. For operators belonging to conserved current multiplets, we propose an exact formula for their correlation functions based on a Ward identity for integrated correlators. Our formula gives a general recipe to compute the bremsstrahlung function for any $\frac{1}{3}$-BPS lines in $\mathcal{N}=6$ SCFTs. We apply our relation to the $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS Wilson loop in the ABJM model, showing the validity of previous computations. Furthermore, our construction allows us to explore higher points correlators. As an example, we compute the two-point function of the stress tensor multiplet correlators in ABJM theory in the presence of the Wilson line. We also present some perturbative checks of our formulae.

A variety of realistic coannihilation scenarios can reproduce the observed dark matter relic abundance. With a significantly reduced discrepancy, of order $1 \sigma$ or less, the Higgsino-like dark matter solutions are also viable.

A new concept of generation of the cosmological baryon excess along with the cold dark matter (CDM) in the Universe is proposed and corresponding scenarios are outlined. Possible realizations of the idea in the framework of supersymmetric models are considered and constraints (predictions) on masses of sparticles compatible with the viability of the scenario are derived. Mulitiple predictions might be extracted from the concept. In particular, we predict a quite natural existence of a charge asymmetric component of CDM. A $\sim 10^{-2}$ part of CDM might exist in the form of electrically charged relic particles with masses $m \simeq 1$ TeV. They are negatively charged and are dresses by protons. This conjecture provides a rich field of immediate search for these particles. The charge symmetric component of CDM might be represented by very light, $m \approx 2$ GeV, very weakly interacting particles like right-handed sneutrinos ( so recoils expected are rare and have quite small energies, $E_{recoil} \sim 1$ KeV.) This leads by the way to prediction of long-living (charged) sparticles. Some new experimental proposals for non-traditional search of cold dark matter particles are mentioned.

A rigorous form of the classical connection between gravity in three dimensions and two-dimensional conformal field theory is employed, where the fundamental degrees of freedom are described in terms of two dependent SL(2,C) currents.

We present a dispersion theoretical analysis of the experimental data on the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon covering both the space- and time-like regions. The nucleon form factors over the full range of momentum transfers and the nucleon radius are extracted with high precision. The statistical uncertainties of the extracted form factors and radius are estimated using the bootstrap method, while systematic errors are determined from variations of the spectral functions. For the proton charge radius, we find $r_E^p = 0.840^{+0.003}_{-0.002}{}^{+0.002}_{-0.002}$~fm, in line with previous analyses of spacelike data alone and also the muonic Lamb shift determination.

We explicitly show that the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson color-kinematic duality holds at tree level through at least eight points in Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena theory with gauge group SU(N) x SU(N). At six points we give the explicit form of numerators in terms of amplitudes, displaying the generalized gauge freedom that leads to amplitude relations. However, at eight points no amplitude relations follow from the duality, so the diagram numerators are fixed unique functions of partial amplitudes. We provide the explicit amplitude-numerator decomposition and the numerator relations for eight-point amplitudes.

Combination of Plank and BICEP2 data reported that tensor to scalar ratio $r\simeq 0.16$ and scalar spectral index $n_{s}\simeq 0.96$. In this short note, it is shown that chaotic inflation with quadratic potential, which perfectly accounts for present fit to $r$ and $n_s$, and relatively heavy Higgs mass for fine-tuned MSSM, are both suggested to be consequences of high-scale supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking. Following this idea, we find that inflaton mass is of same order as soft mass, flatness of inflation potential doesn't need a shift symmetry, and scale of inflation energy density automatically agrees with SUSY-breaking scale. A simple realization of such high-scale SUSY breaking, in which inflaton with tri-linear superpotential serves as {\it modulus}, is discussed in terms of ISS-like model.

This paper explores the moduli-dependent coefficients of higher derivative interactions that appear in the low-energy expansion of the four-graviton amplitude of maximally supersymmetric string theory compactified on a d-torus. These automorphic functions are determined for terms up to order D^6R^4 and various values of d by imposing a variety of consistency conditions. They satisfy Laplace eigenvalue equations with or without source terms, whose solutions are given in terms of Eisenstein series, or more general automorphic functions, for certain parabolic subgroups of the relevant U-duality groups. The ultraviolet divergences of the corresponding supergravity field theory limits are encoded in various logarithms, although the string theory expressions are finite. This analysis includes intriguing representations of SL(d) and SO(d,d) Eisenstein series in terms of toroidally compactified one and two-loop string and supergravity amplitudes.

We further explore a recent proposal that the vector mesons in QCD have a special role as Chern-Simons fields on various QCD objects such as domain walls and the one flavored baryons. We compute contributions to domain wall theories and to the baryon current coming from a generalized Wess-Zumino term including vector mesons. The conditions that lead to the expected Chern-Simons terms and the correct spectrum of baryons, coincide with the conditions for vector meson dominance. This observation provides a theoretical explanation to the phenomenological principle of vector dominance, as well as an experimental evidence for the identification of vector mesons as the Chern-Simons fields. By deriving the Chern-Simons theories directly from an action, we obtain new results about QCD domain walls. One conclusion is the existence of a first order phase transition between domain walls as a function of the quarks' masses. We also discuss applications of our results to Seiberg duality between gluons and vector mesons and provide new evidence supporting the duality.

Using a generalized Weyl formalism, we show how stationary, axisymmetric solutions of the four-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation can be turned into static, axisymmetric solutions of five-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to a two-form gauge field. This procedure is then used to obtain new solutions of the latter theory describing pairs of extremal magnetic black holes with opposite charges, known as black diholes. These diholes are kept in static equilibrium by membrane-like conical singularities stretching along two different directions. We also present solutions describing diholes suspended in a background magnetic field, and with unbalanced charges.

A realistic extension of the minimal $SU(5)$ theory consisting of the addition of an adjoint fermion is known to predict light real fermion and scalar weak triplets, potentially accessible at the LHC. These particles, in addition to playing a key role in gauge coupling unification, have profound phenomenological implications. The fermion triplet, that through the seesaw mechanism offers a testable origin of neutrino mass, has been already extensively discussed. The scalar triplet develops a vacuum expectation value that modifies the $W$-boson mass. We show that its low-energy effective theory is remarkably predictive: in the leading approximation, all the relevant physical processes involving the scalar triplet depend only on its mass and the deviation from the Standard Model $W$-mass value.

In these events perturbative activity is suppressed and hadronization effects can be more prominent.

We use the open quantum system formalism to study the dynamical in-medium evolution of quarkonium. The system of quarkonium is described by potential non-relativistic QCD while the environment is a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma in local thermal equilibrium below the melting temperature of the quarkonium. Under the Markovian approximation, it is shown that the Lindblad equation leads to a Boltzmann transport equation if a Wigner transform is applied to the system density matrix. Our derivation illuminates how the microscopic time-reversibility of QCD is consistent with the time-irreversible in-medium evolution of quarkonium states. Static screening, dissociation and recombination of quarkonium are treated in the same theoretical framework. In addition, quarkonium annihilation is included in a similar way, although the effect is negligible for the phenomenology of the current heavy ion collision experiments. The methods used here can be extended to study quarkonium dynamical evolution inside a strongly coupled QGP, a hot medium out of equilibrium or cold nuclear matter, which is important to studying quarkonium production in heavy ion, proton-ion, and electron-ion collisions.

We elaborate on some general aspects of the crossing symmetric approach of Polyakov to the conformal bootstrap, as recently formulated in Mellin space. This approach uses, as building blocks, Witten diagrams in AdS. We show the necessity for having contact Witten diagrams, in addition to the exchange ones, in two different contexts: a) the large $c$ expansion of the holographic bootstrap b) in the $\epsilon$ expansion at subleading orders to the ones studied already. In doing so, we use alternate simplified representations of the Witten diagrams in Mellin space. This enables us to also obtain compact, explicit expressions (in terms of a ${}_7F_6$ hypergeometric function!) for the analogue of the crossing kernel for Witten diagrams i.e., the decomposition into $s$-channel partial waves of crossed channel exchange diagrams.

Lovelock gravity is an important extension of General Relativity that provides a promising framework to study curvature corrections to the Einstein action, while avoiding ghosts and keeping second order field equations. This paper derives the greybody factors for D-dimensional black holes arising in a theory with a Gauss-Bonnet curvature-squared term. These factors describe the non-trivial coupling between black holes and quantum fields during the evaporation process: they can be used both from a theoretical viewpoint to investigate the intricate spacetime structure around such a black hole, and for phenomenological purposes in the framework of braneworld models with a low Planck scale. We derive exact spectra for the emission of scalar, fermion and gauge fields emitted on the brane, and for scalar fields emitted in the bulk, and demonstrate how the Gauss-Bonnet term can change the bulk-to-brane emission rates ratio in favour of the bulk channel in particular frequency regimes.

We require the effective action to be invariant under the semidirect product of spacetime diffeomorphisms and local frame rotations. Starting from the corresponding functional integral we review the construction of an appropriate theory space and an exact funtional RG equation operating on it. We then solve this equation on a truncated space defined by a three parameter family of Holst-type actions which involve a running Immirzi parameter. We find evidence for the existence of an asymptotically safe fundamental theory. It is probably inequivalent to metric quantum gravity constructed in the same way.

Gauge theories of conformal spacetime symmetries are presented which merge features of Yang-Mills theory and general relativity in a new way. The models are local but nonpolynomial in the gauge fields, with a nonpolynomial structure that can be elegantly written in terms of a metric (or vielbein) composed of the gauge fields. General relativity itself emerges from the construction as a gauge theory of spacetime translations. The role of the models within a general classification of consistent interactions of gauge fields is discussed as well.

Amplitudes of ordinary tensor models are dominated at large $N$ by the so-called melonic graph amplitudes. Enhanced tensor models extend tensor models with special scalings of their interactions which allow, in the same limit, that the sub-dominant amplitudes to be "enhanced", that is to be as dominant as the melonic ones. These models were introduced to explore new large $N$ limits and to probe different phases for tensor models. Tensor field theory is the quantum field theoretic counterpart of tensor models and enhanced tensor field theory enlarges this theory space to accommodate enhanced tensor interactions. We undertake the multi-scale renormalization analysis for two types of enhanced quartic melonic theories with rank $d$ tensor fields $\phi: (U(1)^{D})^{d} \to \mathbb{C}$ and with interactions of the form $p^{2a}\phi^4$ reminiscent of derivative couplings expressed in momentum space. Scrutinizing the degree of divergence of both theories, we identify generic conditions for their renormalizability at all orders of perturbation. For a first type of theory, we identify a 2-parameter space of just-renormalizable models for generic $(d,D)$. These models have dominant non-melonic four-point functions. Finally, by specifying the parameters, we detail the renormalization analysis of a second type of model. Lying in between just- and super-renormalizability, that model is more exotic: all four-point amplitudes are convergent, however it exhibits an infinite family of divergent two-point amplitudes.

Recently a Mellin-space formula was conjectured for the form of correlation functions of $1/2$ BPS operators in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM in the strong 't Hooft coupling limit. In this work we report on the computation of two previously unknown four-point functions of operators with weights $\langle 2345 \rangle$ and $\langle 3456\rangle$, from the effective type-IIB supergravity action using AdS/CFT. These correlators are novel: they are the first correlators with all-different weights and in particular $\langle 3456\rangle$ is the first next-next-next-to-extremal correlator to ever have been computed. We also present simplifications of the known algorithm, without which these computations could not have been executed without considerable computer power. The main simplifications we found are present in the computation of the exchange Lagrangian and in the computation of $a$ tensors. After bringing our results in the appropriate form we successfully corroborate the recently conjectured formula.

The CDF and D0 experiments have reported on the measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the result is that it is more than 2 standard deviations above the predicted value in the Standard Model. This has to be added to the longstanding anomaly in the forward-backward asymmetry for bottom quark production at LEP which is 3 standard deviations different from the Standard Model value. The discrepancy in the bottom asymmetry can be accounted for by the contributions of Kaluza-Klein excitations of electroweak gauge bosons at LEP in warped extra dimensional models in which the fermions are localized differently along the extra dimension so that the gauge interactions of heavy third generation fermions are naturally different from that of light fermions. In this paper, we show that it is more difficult to elaborate a model generating a significant top asymmetry in a similar way -- through exchanges of Kaluza-Klein gluons at the Tevatron -- due to the indirect constraints originating from precision electroweak data.

A combination of flux, alpha' corrections and non-perturbative effects stabilises the moduli in a non-supersymmetric AdS vacuum. This vacuum has the feature that the (ten-dimensional) string coupling is exponentially small which can naturally lead to a TeV supersymmetry breaking scale with an intermediate string scale. The AdS vacuum can be uplifted to a dS one through the introduction of D6 branes, and complex-structure modular inflation can be realised.

The mass shift effects in multiphoton pair production of a nonperturbative nature for arbitrary polarized electric fields are investigated numerically by employing the real-time Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism, and theoretically by proposing an effective energy concept. It is found that the theoretical results are agreement with the numerical ones very well. It is the first time to consider the roles of the momenta of created particles and the polarizations of external fields played in the mass shift effects. These results can deepen the understanding of pair production in the nonperturbative threshold regime. Moreover, the distinct mass shift effects are observable in the forthcoming experiments and can be used as a probe to distinguish the electron-positron pair production from other background events.

We study the 3-parametric family of vertex operator algebras based on the unitary Grassmannian coset CFT $\mathfrak{u}(M+N)_k/(\mathfrak{u}(M)_k \times \mathfrak{u}(N)_k)$. This VOA serves as a basic building block for a large class of cosets and generalizes the $\mathcal{W}_\infty$ algebra. We analyze representations and their characters in detail and find surprisingly simple character formulas for the representations in the generic parameter regime that admit an elegant combinatorial formulation. We also discuss truncations of the algebra and give a conjectural formula for the complete set of truncation curves. We develop a theory of gluing for these algebras in order to build more complicated coset and non-coset algebras. We demonstrate the power of this technology with some examples and show in particular that the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Grassmannian can be obtained by gluing three bosonic Grassmannian algebras in a loop. We finally speculate about the tantalizing possibility that this algebra is a specialization of an even larger 4-parametric family of algebras exhibiting pentality symmetry. Specialization of this conjectural family should include both the unitary Grassmannian family as well as the Lagrangian Grassmannian family of VOAs which interpolates between the unitary and the orthosymplectic cosets.

String theory suggests that black hole microstates are quantum, horizon sized `fuzzballs', rather than smooth geometries with horizon. Radiation from fuzzballs can carry information and does not lead to information loss. But if we let a shell of matter collapse then it creates a horizon, and it seems that subsequent radiation will lead to information loss. We argue that the resolution to this problem is that the shell can tunnel to the fuzzball configurations. The amplitude for tunneling is small because we are relating two macroscopically different configurations, but the number of states that we can tunnel to, given through the Bekenstein entropy, is very large. These small and large numbers can cancel each other, making it possible for the shell to tunnel into fuzzball states before a significant amount of radiation has been emitted. This offers a way to resolve the information paradox.

Using impact-factor representation, we consider the lepton pair production by an incident high-energy photon in a strong electromagnetic field of a nucleus. By summing leading terms of perturbation series, we obtain a simple formula for the amplitude, valid to all orders in ${\cal O}(\alpha Z)$ and arbitrary field of the nucleus. Using these results, we derive, in a simple manner, the results for the lepton pair production by a virtual incident photon in a Coulomb field. For real incident photon our results coincide with the known ones. Also, a particular example of a non-Coulomb potential is discussed in some detail.

We construct a self-consistent holographic QCD model which can realize two most important phenomena of QCD, i.e. chiral symmetry breaking and confinement. The model is formulated in the framework of graviton-dilaton-scalar system, where the dilaton field is of dimension-2 which might be dual to the dimension-2 gluon condensate and can lead to the linear confinement, while the scalar field corresponds to the quark anti-quark condensate and can explain the property of chiral dynamics. Within this framework, both Regge spectra of hadrons and the linear potential between quarks can be accommodated. It is also found that the negative dilaton background can be safely excluded in this framework.

We present a new approximation method for solving the equations of motion for cosmological tensor perturbations in a Randall-Sundrum brane-world model of the type with one brane in a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. This method avoids the problem of coordinate singularities inherent in some methods. At leading order, the zero-mode solution replicates the evolution of perturbations in a four-dimensional Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe in the absence of any tensor component to the matter perturbation on the brane. At next order, there is a mode-mixing effect, although, importantly, the zero-mode does not source any other modes.

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (the MSSM), the electroweak symmetry is restored as supersymmetry-breaking terms are turned off. We describe a generic extension of the MSSM where the electroweak symmetry is broken in the supersymmetric limit. We call this limit the "sEWSB" phase, short for supersymmetric electroweak symmetry breaking. We define this phase in an effective field theory that only contains the MSSM degrees of freedom. The sEWSB vacua naturally have an inverted scalar spectrum, where the heaviest CP-even Higgs state has Standard Model-like couplings to the massive vector bosons; experimental constraints in the scalar Higgs sector are more easily satisfied than in the MSSM.

Although a single M0-brane is the massless 11D superparticle, center of energy motion of the mM0 system is characterized by a nonnegative constant mass M constructed from the matrix fields describing the relative motion of mM0 constituents. We show that a bosonic solution of the mM0 equations can be supersymmetric iff this effective mass vanishes, M=0, and that all the supersymmetric bosonic solutions preserve just one half of the 11D supersymmetry.

In this study, we analyze Krylov Complexity in two-dimensional conformal field theories subjected to deformed SL$(2,\mathbb{R})$ Hamiltonians. In the vacuum state, we find that the K-complexity exhibits a universal phase structure. The phase structure involves the K-complexity exhibiting an oscillatory behaviour in the non-heating phase, which contrasts with the exponential growth observed in the heating phase, while it displays polynomial growth at the phase boundary. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to compute the K-complexity of a light operator in excited states, considering both large-c CFT and free field theory. In the free field theory, we find a state-independent phase structure of K-complexity. However, in the large-c CFT, the behavior varies, with the K-Complexity once again displaying exponential growth in the heating phase and polynomial growth at the phase boundary. Notably, the precise exponent governing this growth depends on the heaviness of the state under examination. In the non-heating phase, we observe a transition in K-complexity behavior from oscillatory to exponential growth, akin to findings in [1], as it represents a special case within the non-heating phase.

We discuss unitarity constraints on the dynamics of a system of three interacting particles. We show how the short-range interaction that describes three-body resonances can be separated from the long-range exchange processes, in particular the one-pion-exchange process. It is demonstrated that unitarity demands a specific functional form of the amplitude with a clear interpretation: the bare three-particle resonances are dressed by the initial- and final-state interaction, in a way that is consistent with the considered long-range forces. We postulate that the resonance kernel admits a factorization in the energy variables of the initial- and the final-state particles. The factorization assumption leads to an algebraic form for the unitarity equations, which is reminiscent of the well-known two-body-unitarity condition and approaches it in the limit of the narrow-resonance approximation.

A new approach with BRST invariance is suggested to cure the degeneracy problem of ill defined path integrals in the path-integral calculationof quantum mechanical tunneling effects in which the problem arises due to the occurrence of zero modes. The Faddeev-Popov procedure is avoided and the integral over the zero mode is transformed in a systematic way into a well defined integral over instanton positions. No special procedure has to be adopted as in the Faddeev-Popov method in calculating the Jacobian of the transformation. The quantum mechanical tunneling for the Sine-Gordon potential is used as a test of the method and the width of the lowest energy band is obtained in exact agreement with that of WKB calculations.

We consider the behavior of D7 probes of supersymmetric warped geometries that are perturbed by the presence of anti-D3-branes. Such constructions are the gravitational duals of non-supersymmetric states in supersymmetric flavored gauge theories. Although the D7s that we consider do not feel a force from either D3s or anti-D3s alone, when both types of 3-branes are present the D7s deform and fall a small distance toward the 3-branes. We perform our analysis in AdS^5 x S^5 and the Klebanov-Witten solution and find qualitatively similar behavior in each case. We then extend our consideration to the approximately conical region of the Klebanov-Strassler solution and find that the effect is parametrically larger than in the AdS^5 x X^5 examples. Additionally, we discuss how these behaviors are modified by the presence of other flavors by considering the backreaction of such flavor branes in AdS^5 x X^5. Finally, we touch upon some of the implications that our results may have for model building and argue that the deformation of the worldvolume results in non-negligible corrections to soft terms in the low-energy description.

Many and very general arguments indicate that the event horizon behaves as a stretched membrane. We explore this analogy by associating the Gregory-Laflamme instability of black strings with a classical membrane instability known as Rayleigh-Plateau instability. We show that the key features of the black string instability can be reproduced using this viewpoint. In particular, we get good agreement for the threshold mode in all dimensions and exact agreement for large spacetime dimensionality. The instability timescale is also well described within this model, as well as the dimensionality dependence. We conjecture that general non-axisymmetric perturbations are stable. We further argue that the instability of ultra-spinning black holes follows from this model.

We present a model where all fermions are contained in a single irreducible representation of an SU(19) gauge symmetry group. If there is only one scalar field, Yukawa interactions are controlled by a single number rather than by one or more $3\times3$ matrices of couplings. The low-energy concept of flavor emerges entirely from the scalar-sector parameters; more specifically, entries of the Standard Model Yukawa matrices are controlled by several vacuum expectation values.

The SUSY hybrid inflation model is found to dissipate radiation during the inflationary period. Analysis is made of parameter regimes in which these dissipative effects are significant. The scalar spectral index, its running, and the tensor-scalar ratio are computed in the entire parameter range of the model. A clear prediction for strong dissipative warm inflation is found for n_S-1 \simeq 0.98 and a low tensor-scalar ratio much below 10^{-6}. The strong dissipative warm inflation regime also is found to have no \eta-problem and with the field amplitude much below the Planck scale. As will be discussed, this has important theoretical implications in permitting a much wider variety of SUGRA extensions to the basic model.

In this letter we investigate the role played by quantum mechanics before the big-bang in heterotic-M-theory assuming an orbifold compactification of time. As we will see particles are localized around a black hole but only in regions where a constructive quantum interference takes place. We infer that the creation of this interference pattern is interesting for many reasons: (A) it is a mechanism to localize particles on $S^4$ branes; (B) the Casimir potential for the dilaton can be interpreted as a gravitational effective potential for a two-body problem; (C) the quantum interference is a new way to define the branes in heterotic-M-theory. Remarkably, a modified Schroedinger equation is obtained. The stabilization of the branes' position is related to the absence of a cosmological singularity.

We show that if space is compact, then trajectories cannot be defined in the framework of quantum Hamilton--Jacobi equation. The starting point is the simple observation that when the energy is quantized it is not possible to make variations with respect to the energy, and the time parameterisation t-t_0=\partial_E S_0, implied by Jacobi's theorem and that leads to group velocity, is ill defined. It should be stressed that this follows directly form the quantum HJ equation without any axiomatic assumption concerning the standard formulation of quantum mechanics. This provides a stringent connection between the quantum HJ equation and the Copenhagen interpretation. Together with tunneling and the energy quantization theorem for confining potentials, formulated in the framework of quantum HJ equation, it leads to the main features of the axioms of quantum mechanics from a unique geometrical principle. Similarly to the case of the classical HJ equation, this fixes its quantum analog by requiring that there exist point transformations, rather than canonical ones, leading to the trivial hamiltonian. This is equivalent to a basic cocycle condition on the states. Such a cocycle condition can be implemented on compact spaces, so that continuous energy spectra are allowed only as a limiting case. Remarkably, a compact space would also imply that the Dirac and von Neumann formulations of quantum mechanics essentially coincide. We suggest that there is a definition of time parameterisation leading to trajectories in the context of the quantum HJ equation having the probabilistic interpretation of the Copenhagen School.

In the limit of the heavy quark mass and with the truncation to include only the dressed two point functions for the Yang-Mills sector, we provide an exact solution for the 4-point quark Green's functions, in both quark-antiquark and diquark channels, and show that the corresponding poles relate to the bound state energy of the heavy quark systems. Moreover, a natural separation between physical and unphysical poles in the Green's functions emerges.

We suggest to do further experimental study on these predicted charged enhancement structures, especially by BESIII, Belle, and the forthcoming BelleII.

To date, the properties of Q-balls arising from an Affleck-Dine condensate in gravity-mediated SUSY breaking have been obtained primarily through numerical simulations. In this work, we will derive the expected charge of the Q-balls formed in such a scenario through an analytical treatment. We will also examine the numerically observed difference between Q-ball formation in weakly charged condensates and formation in strongly charged condensates.

We describe a method of writing down the exact interacting gauge invariant equations for all the modes of the bosonic open string. It is a generalization of the loop variable approach that was used earlier for the free, and lowest order interacting cases. The generalization involves, as before, the introduction of a parameter to label the different strings involved in an interaction. The interacting string has thus becomes a ``band'' of finite width. As in the free case, the fields appear to be massless in one higher dimension. Although a proof of the consistency and gauge invariance to all orders (and thus of equivalence with string theory) is not yet available, plausibility arguments are given. We also give some simple illustrations of the procedure.

Nonperturbative and perturbative interaction mechanisms of Wilson loops in gluodynamics are studied within the background field formalism. The first one operates when distance between minimal surfaces of the loops is small and may be important for sea quark effects and strong decay processes. The second mechanism -- perturbative interaction in nonperturbative confining background is found to be physically dominant for all loop configurations characteristic of scattering process. It reduces to perturbative gluon exchanges at small distances, while at larger distances it corresponds to the t-channel exchange of (reggeized) glueball states. Comparison to other approaches is made and possible physical applications are discussed.

If the Higgs boson $H(125)$ is a composite due to new strong interactions at high energy, it has spin-one partners, $\rho_H$ and $a_H$, analogous to the $\rho$ and $a_1$ mesons of QCD. These bosons are heavy, their mass determined by the strong interaction scale. The strongly interacting particles light enough for $\rho_H$ and $a_H$ to decay to are the longitudinal weak bosons $V_L = W_L,\, Z_L$ and the Higgs boson $H$. These decay signatures are consistent with resonant diboson excesses recently reported near 2 TeV by ATLAS and CMS. We calculate $\sigma\times BR(\rho_H \to VV) =$ few fb and $\sigma\times BR(a_H \to VH) =$ 0.5-1 fb at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV, increasing by a factor of 5-7 at 13 TeV. Other tests of the hypothesis of the strong-interaction nature of the diboson resonances are suggested.

We solve what is quite likely the simplest model of quantum gravity, the worldsheet theory of an infinitely long, free bosonic string in Minkowski space. Contrary to naive expectations, this theory is non-trivial. We illustrate this by constructing its exact factorizable S-matrix. Despite its simplicity, the theory exhibits many of the salient features expected from more mature quantum gravity models, including the absence of local off-shell observables, a minimal length, a maximum achievable (Hagedorn) temperature, as well as (integrable relatives of) black holes. All these properties follow from the exact S-matrix. We show that the complete finite volume spectrum can be reconstructed analytically from this S-matrix with the help of the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz. We argue that considered as a UV complete relativistic two-dimensional quantum field theory the model exhibits a new type of renormalization group flow behavior, "asymptotic fragility". Asymptotically fragile flows do not originate from a UV fixed point.

A method is introduced for distinguishing top jets (boosted, hadronically decaying top quarks) from light quark and gluon jets using jet substructure. The procedure involves parsing the jet cluster to resolve its subjets, and then imposing kinematic constraints. With this method, light quark or gluon jets with pT ~ 1 TeV can be rejected with an efficiency of around 99% while retaining up to 40% of top jets. This reduces the dijet background to heavy t-tbar resonances by a factor of ~10,000, thereby allowing resonance searches in t-tbar to be extended into the all-hadronic channel. In addition, top-tagging can be used in t-tbar events when one of the tops decays semi-leptonically, in events with missing energy, and in studies of b-tagging efficiency at high pT.

Triple product correlations (TPC's) involving strange quark spin are elucidated in b --> u u(bar) s process within the standard model. They arise when light quark masses are nonzero. As the momenta and spins of constituent quarks are related to that of the parent hadron, the quark masses are, however small, important and relevant in TPC studies. At this level the TPC's of interest are of the form s_s.[p_u X p_u(bar)] and s_s.[p_s X p_u]. As an application, we look at T-violating effects in B --> anti-Lambda p pi through the TPC s_\Lambda.[p_\Lambda X p_p] for which triple product asymmetry is found to be 5.7%-7.6% in the vanishing limit of the strong phase.

This work initiates the study of {\it orthogonal} symmetric polynomials in superspace. Here we present two approaches leading to a family of orthogonal polynomials in superspace that generalize the Jack polynomials. The first approach relies on previous work by the authors in which eigenfunctions of the supersymmetric extension of the trigonometric Calogero-Moser-Sutherland Hamiltonian were constructed. Orthogonal eigenfunctions are now obtained by diagonalizing the first nontrivial element of a bosonic tower of commuting conserved charges not containing this Hamiltonian. Quite remarkably, the expansion coefficients of these orthogonal eigenfunctions in the supermonomial basis are stable with respect to the number of variables. The second and more direct approach amounts to symmetrize products of non-symmetric Jack polynomials with monomials in the fermionic variables. This time, the orthogonality is inherited from the orthogonality of the non-symmetric Jack polynomials, and the value of the norm is given explicitly.

In this doctoral thesis we study zero-mode spectra of Matrix theory and eleven-dimensional supergravity on the plane-wave background. This background is obtained via the Penrose limit of AdS_4 x S^7 and AdS_7 x S^4. The plane-wave background is a maximally supersymmetric spacetime supported by non-vanishing constant four-form flux in eleven-dimensional spacetime. First, we discuss the Matrix theory on the plane-wave background suggested by Berenstein, Maldacena and Nastase. We construct the Hamiltonian, 32 supercharges and their commutation relations. We discuss a spectrum of one specific supermultiplet which represents the center of mass degrees of freedom of N D0-branes. This supermultiplet would also represent a superparticle of the eleven-dimensional supergravity in the large-N limit. Second, we study the linearized supergravity on the plane-wave background in eleven dimensions. Fixing the bosonic and fermionic fields in the light-cone gauge, we obtain the spectrum of physical modes. We obtain the fact that the energies of the states in Matrix theory completely correspond to those of fields in supergravity. Thus, we find that the Matrix theory on the plane-wave background contains the zero-mode spectrum of the eleven-dimensional supergravity completely. Through this result, we can argue the Matrix theory on the plane-wave as a candidate of quantum extension of eleven-dimensional supergravity, or as a candidate which describes M-theory.

In the framework of the relativized quark model, the calculation of spin-orbit interactions is improved by considering the contribution from the light quark cluster in a singly heavy baryon. It modifies the energy level splitting of the orbital excitation significantly and causes the emergence of fine structures for $\Sigma_{Q}$, $\Xi '_{Q}$ and $\Omega_{Q}$ baryons. Based on this improvement, we systematically analyze the fine structures and retest the heavy quark dominance mechanism. This mechanism is found to be violated in the $1P$-wave states of the $\Sigma_{c}$, $\Xi '_{c}$ and $\Omega_{c}$ baryons although it remains effective overall, which may help to understand the nature of the heavy quarks and strong interactions. With the predicted fine structures, we make the precise assignments of those observed heavy baryons which once could not be accurately explained due to their close mass values. The method used in this work is instructive and applicable for the study of more complex exotic hadrons, such as the heavy tetraquarks and pentaquarks.

We show that two-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS_2) can be put in correspondence, holographically, both with the harmonic oscillator and the free particle. When AdS_2 has an horizon the corresponding mechanical system is a thermal harmonic oscillator at temperature given by the Hawking temperature of the horizon.

We study the effect of the fixed higher order corrections in a comparison of our results to LEP and SLC data. The next-to-next-to-leading order correction has a sizable impact on the extracted value of $\alpha_{\mathrm S}(M_Z)$, hence its inclusion is mandatory for a precise measurement of the strong coupling using energy-energy correlation.

The $\Xi$ and $\Xi_c$ hyperons are assumed to be produced in two-step processes: first, intermediate $\bar\Lambda\Lambda$ and/or $\bar\Lambda_c\Lambda_c$ states are created which are converted afterwards into final states $\bar \Xi\Xi$, $\bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$ and $\bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$. The full amplitudes are described by loop diagrams within a modified Regge model, based on the topological decomposition of planar quark diagrams. A strong sensitivity of the ratio of yields of $\bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$ to $\bar \Xi\Xi$ and of $\bar \Lambda_c\Lambda_c$ to $\bar \Lambda\Lambda$ to the degree of SU(4) symmetry violation is found.

We discuss string theory relations between gravity and gauge theory tree amplitudes. Together with $D$-dimensional unitarity, these relations can be used to perturbatively quantize gravity theories, i.e. they contain the necessary information for calculating complete gravity $S$-matrices to any loop orders. This leads to a practical method for computing non-trivial gravity $S$-matrix elements by relating them to much simpler gauge theory ones. We also describe arguments that N=8 D=4 supergravity is less divergent in the ultraviolet than previously thought.

Keeping in mind that new physics might leave its signature at such energies, we have considered all possible topologies for effective interactions between neutrino and dark matter. Building models, that give rise to a significant flux suppression of astrophysical neutrinos at Earth, is rather difficult. We present a $Z^{\prime}$-mediated model in this context. Encompassing a large variety of models, a wide range of dark matter masses from $10^{-21}$ eV up to a TeV, this study aims at highlighting the challenges one encounters in such a model building endeavour after satisfying various cosmological constraints, collider search limits and electroweak precision measurements.

A theoretical derivation of photon bremsstrahlung, induced by the interactions of an energetic quark in a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma, is given in the framework of the reaction operator approach. For the physically relevant case of hard jet production, followed by few in-medium interactions, we find that the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal suppression of the bremsstrahlung photon intensity is much stronger than in the previously discussed limit of on-shell quarks and a large number of soft scatterings. We present the first systematic study of direct photon production in minimum bias d+Cu and d+Au and central Cu+Cu and Au+Au heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at center of mass energies of 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV. We find that the contribution of the final-state photon production at pT < 5 GeV is limited to 35%, and at high transverse momenta, the modification of the direct photon cross section is dominated by initial-state cold nuclear matter effects.

Inspired by the tachyon-free non-supersymmetric heterotic SO(16)xSO(16) string we consider a special class of non-supersymmetric field theories: Those that can be obtained from supersymmetric field theories by supersymmetry breaking twists. We argue that such theories, like their supersymmetric counter parts, may still possess some fermionic symmetries as left-overs of the super gauge transformations and have special one-loop non-renormalization properties due to holomorphicity. In addition, we extend the supergraph techniques to these theories to calculate some explicit supersymmetry-breaking corrections.

We present a moduli dependent target space effective field theory action for (truncated) heterotic string toroidal compactifications. When moving continuously along moduli space, the stringy gauge symmetry enhancement-breaking effects, which occur at particular points of moduli space, are reproduced. Besides the expected fields, originated in the ten dimensional low energy effective theory, a new vector and scalar fields are included. These fields depend on "double periodic coordinates" as usually introduced in Double Field Theory. Their mode expansion encodes information about string states, carrying winding and KK momenta, associated to gauge symmetry enhancements. Interestingly enough, it is found that a non-commutative product, which introduces an intrinsic non-commutativity on the compact target space, is required in order to make contact with string theory amplitude results.

We study the baryogenesis via leptogenesis in a class of left-right symmetric models, in which $D$-parity is broken spontaneously. We first discuss the consequence of the spontaneous $D$-parity breaking on the neutrino masses. Than we study the lepton asymmetry in various cases, from the decay of right handed neutrino as well as the triplet Higgs, depending on their relative masses they acquire from the symmetry breaking pattern. The leptogenesis bound on their masses are discussed by taking into account the low energy neutrino oscillation data. It is shown that a TeV scale leptogenesis is viable if there are additional sources of CP violation like domain wall originating from the spontaneous $D$-parity violation.

It is shown that a TeV scale leptogenesis is viable if there are additional sources of CP violation like domain wall originating from the spontaneous $D$-parity violation.

The NRQCD factorization approach for calculating inclusive production of heavy quarkonium gives unambiguous predictions for the polarization of quarkonium states. The factorization formula for polarized states can be obtained by using the threshold expansion method to calculate the short-distance coefficients and then using symmetries of NRQD to reduce the NRQCD matrix elements. A particularly dramatic prediction of the NRQCD factorization framework is that prompt psi's and psi-primes's produced at the Tevatron should be predominantly transversely polarized at large transverse momentum.

Strangeness and charm degrees of freedom in strongly interacting matter are discussed within a quasi-particle model adjusted to lattice QCD data. The model allows to extrapolate lattice QCD data to large baryo-chemical potential. We outline the thermal evolution of matter in the early universe at and slightly after confinement and comment briefly on charm dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
