INTERACTING GENERALIZED CHAPLYGIN GAS MODEL WITH HOLOGRAPHIC DARK ENERGY
In this paper we consider the interacting generalized Chaplygin gas model as a unified scheme, in which the holographic dark energy as the dark energy component interacts with the cold dark matter with wdm = 0. Concretely, we mainly discuss the two kinds of interactions between the dark energy and dark matter, and give the evolution trajectories of density parameter and equation of state of dark energy as well as the decelerate parameter. By analysis, we show that in both cases of Q = 3bHρde and Q = 3bHρGCG, the evolution laws and the present values of Ωde, wde and q are compatible with the astronomical observations, but the effects of the coupling constant and holographic constant on them are completely different.

title: Extended Analysis on New Generalized Chaplygin Gas
abstract: We extend the study of the new generalized Chaplygin gas (NGCG) based on  (2006) 003]. Specifically, we not only discuss the change rates of the energy densities and the energy transfer of this model, but also perform the Om diagnostic to differentiate the ΛCDM model from the NGCG and the GCG models. Furthermore, in order to consider the influence of dark energy on structure formation, we also present the evolution of the growth index in this scenario with interaction.

title: The anomalous top quark coupling tqg and tW production at the LHC
abstract: Many new physics models beyond the standard model ( SM ) can give rise to the large anomalous top couplings tqg ( q = u and c ). We focus our attention on these couplings induced by the topcolor-assisted technicolor ( TC 2 ) model and the littlest Higgs model with T -parity (called LHT model), and consider their contributions to the production cross section and the charge asymmetry for tW production at the LHC . We find that the anomalous top coupling tqg induced by these two kinds of new physics models can indeed generate sizable charge asymmetry. The correction effects of the LHT model on the production cross sections of the processes p p → t W − + X and p p → t ¯ W + + X are significant large, which might be detected at the LHC .

title: EFFECTIVE COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT IN BRANE COSMOLOGY
abstract: We consider a brane-world of co-dimension one without reflection symmetry. Through it, we give a possible explanation of the great discrepancy between the vacuum energy and the observed cosmological constant without contradiction to the knowledge we have about our Universe. We also show the gravity observed will be standard four-dimensional gravity as long as the discrepancy of the bulk cosmological constant at different sides of the brane is small enough.

title: VERY LOW-MASS STELLAR AND SUBSTELLAR COMPANIONS TO SOLAR-LIKE STARS FROM MARVELS I: A LOW MASS RATIO STELLAR COMPANION TO TYC 4110-01037-1 IN A 79-DAY ORBIT
abstract: TYC 4110-01037-1 has a low-mass stellar companion, whose small mass ratio and short orbital period are atypical among binary systems with solar-like (T_eff ≲ 6000 K) primary stars. Our analysis of TYC 4110-01037-1 reveals it to be a moderately aged (≲ 5 Gyr) solar-like star having a mass of 1.07 ± 0.08 M_☉ and radius of 0.99 ± 0.18 R_☉. We analyze 32 radial velocity (RV) measurements from the SDSS-III MARVELS survey as well as 6 supporting RV measurements from the SARG spectrograph on the 3.6 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo telescope obtained over a period of ~2 years. The best Keplerian orbital fit parameters were found to have a period of 78.994 ± 0.012 days, an eccentricity of 0.1095 ± 0.0023, and a semi-amplitude of 4199 ± 11 m s^(–1). We determine the minimum companion mass (if sin i = 1) to be 97.7 ± 5.8 M_Jup. The system's companion to host star mass ratio, ≥0.087 ± 0.003, places it at the lowest end of observed values for short period stellar companions to solar-like (T_eff ≲ 6000 K) stars. One possible way to create such a system would be if a triple-component stellar multiple broke up into a short period, low q binary during the cluster dispersal phase of its lifetime. A candidate tertiary body has been identified in the system via single-epoch, high contrast imagery. If this object is confirmed to be comoving, we estimate it would be a dM4 star. We present these results in the context of our larger-scale effort to constrain the statistics of low-mass stellar and brown dwarf companions to FGK-type stars via the MARVELS survey.

title: Units and numerical values of the effective couplings in perturbative heterotic string vacua
abstract: We determine the units and numerical values for a class of couplings in the effective theory of perturbative heterotic string vacua, with the emphasis on the correct translation between the canonical gauge coupling g and Planck scale M{sub Planck}{approximately}1.2{times}10{sup 19}GeV as used in the effective theory description and the string coupling g{sub string} and string tension  as used in the S-matrix amplitude calculation. In particular, we determine the effective couplings in the superpotential and reexamine the Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) term in a class of models with an anomalous U(1). We derive the values of the effective Yukawa couplings (at the third and fourth order) after the restabilization of vacuum along a particular F- and D-flat direction and show that they are {ital comparable} in magnitude. The result corrects results quoted in the literature, and may have implications for the string derived phenomenology, e.g., that of fermion textures.

title: U(1)-prime symmetry breaking in supersymmetric E(6) models
abstract: We study the electroweak and $U(1)^{'}$ symmetry breaking patterns in models with the particle content of supersymmetric $E_{6}$, including standard model singlets $S$ and exotic quarks $D,~\bar{D}$. Motivated by free fermionic string models, we do not require $E_{6}$-type relations between Yukawa couplings. In particular, we assume that baryon and lepton numbers are conserved, so that the exotic quarks can be light. Gauge invariance allows Yukawa interactions between $S$ and Higgs doublets, and between $S$ and the exotic quarks, allowing radiative $U(1)^{'}$ symmetry breaking and the generation of an effective $\mu$ parameter at the electroweak scale. For both the $E_{6}$ $\psi$ and $\eta$ models, universal soft supersymmetry breaking parameters and Yukawa universality at the high (string) scale do not yield acceptable low energy phenomenology. Relaxing universality, we find solutions with phenomenologically acceptable values of $M_{Z^{'}}$ and the $Z-Z^{'}$ mixing angle. In addition, by varying the $U(1)^{'}$ charge assignments due to the mixing of $U(1)_{\chi}$ and $U(1)_{\psi}$ of $E_{6}$, it is possible to have acceptable low energy phenomenology with universal boundary conditions.
