Existence of heavy mirror analogs of ordinary fermions could explain a thinkable paradox within the Standard Model direct parity violation. This paradox is an objectionable possibility to distinguish physically the left-handed and…
The relativistic problem of fermions subject to a PT-symmetric potential in the presence of position-dependent mass is reinvestigated. The influence of the PT-symmetric potential in the continuity equation and in the orthonormalization…
Here by combining a symmetry-based analysis with numerical computations we predict a new kind of magnetic ordering - antichiral ferromagnetism. The relationship between chiral and antichiral magnetic order is conceptually similar to the…
An overview of neutrino-mixing models is presented with emphasis on the types of horizontal flavor and vertical family symmetries that have been invoked. Distributions for the mixing angles of many models are displayed. Ways to…
The observed neutrino mixing, having a near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and a large solar mixing angle, is close to tri-bi-maximal. This structure may be related to the existence of a discrete non-Abelian family symmetry. In…
Interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures possess a fermionic (super)symmetry when bosons and fermions in the mixture have equal masses, and when the interaction strengths are appropriately tuned. This symmetry is spontaneously broken in the ground…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking generally circumvents one-dimensional systems with local interactions in thermal equilibrium. Here, we analyze a category of one-dimensional Hermitian models via local non-Hermitian constructions. Notably,…
We show that a dynamical supersymmetry can appear in a purely fermionic system. This ``supersymmetry without bosons" is constructed by application of a recently introduced boson-fermion Dyson mapping from a fermion space to a space…
$\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry imposed on the neutrino mass matrix in the flavour basis is known to be quite predictive. We integrate this very specific neutrino symmetry into a more general framework based on the supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified…
The mixing among flavors in quarks or leptons in terms of a single rotation angle is defined such that three flavor eigenvectors are transformed into three mass eigenvectors by a single rotation about a common axis. We propose that a…
Characteristic features of dynamical symmetry breaking are investigated in Randall-Sundrum (RS) background. To study the influence of bulk fermion or bulk gauge field I consider a five-dimensional four-fermion interaction model and a…

Recent progresses using state-of-the-art experimental techniques have motivated a number of new insights on heavy fermion physics. This article gives a brief summary of the author's research along this direction. We discuss five major…
This paper studies the problem of identifying directions of axial symmetry in multivariate distributions. Theoretical results are derived on how the measure or cardinality of the set of symmetry directions relates to spherical symmetry. The…
withdrawn Several symmetry problems are discussed. These include the Pompeiu problem and similar conjectures for the heat and wave equations.
A chiral fermion action allows one to do very clean studies of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. I will briefly describe how to compute with the overlap action (relatively) cheaply, and then turn to physics: Low modes of the Dirac operator…
The generalization of the Gross-Neveu model for noncommutative 3+1 space-time has been analyzed. We find indications that the chiral symmetry breaking occurs for an inhomogeneous background as in the LOFF phase in condensed matter.
Some aspects of $Q$-conditional symmetry and of its connections with reduction and compatibility are discussed.
We study the generation of fermion mass in a context where interactions break a discrete chiral symmetry. Then, fermion mass is not protected by a symmetry, no symmetry is broken by the generation of mass, and a vanishing mass no longer…
Relativistic light-front bound-state equations for mesons and baryons can be constructed in the chiral limit from the supercharges of a superconformal algebra which connect baryon and meson spectra. Quark masses break the conformal…
