It is shown generally that any oscillation probability in matter with approximately constant density coincides with that in vacuum to the first two nontrivial orders in $\Delta m^2_{jk}L/E$ if $|\Delta m^2_{jk}L/E|\ll 1$ and $|G_F N_e L|\ll…
Nonperturbative treatments of the UV limit of pure gravity suggest that it admits a stable fixed point with positive Newton's constant and cosmological constant. We prove that this result is stable under the addition of a scalar field with…
The unsuppressed CP violation in QCD is a problem in the standard model. If we have some mechanism to guarantee real determinants of the quark mass matrices, the vanishing physical vacuum angle $\bar \theta$ indicates the CP invariance at…
