I briefly discuss the current state of the art for models with extended scalar sectors and give examples for corresponding investigations, with a focus on processes at lepton colliders.
Contributions from light-by-light scattering to (g_\mu-2)/2, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, are mediated by the exchange of charged fermions or scalar bosons. Assuming large masses M for the virtual particles and employing the…
Two types of new Chern-Simons (CS) densities, both defined in all odd and even dimensions, are proposed. These new CS densities feature a scalar field interacting with a scalar. In one case this is a Higgs scalar while in the other it is a…
In this write-up, I summarize the analyses on the low-lying scalar mesons I have done recently with my collaborators. I first briefly review the previous analyses on the hadronic processes related to the scalar mesons, which shows that the…
Solutions for scalar fields superdense gravitating systems of flat, open and closed type obtained in the frame of gauge theories of gravitation are discussed. Properties of these systems in dependence on parameter $\beta$ and initial…
We study dynamics of scalar fields on a large class of geometries described by integrable sigma models. Although equations of motion are not separable due to absence of isometries and Killing tensors, we completely determine the spectra…
The background dynamical evolution of a universe filled with matter and a cosmological scalar field is analyzed employing dynamical system techniques. After the phenomenology of a canonical scalar field with exponential potential is…
We consider a simple scalar dark matter model within the frame of gauged $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ symmetry. A gauge boson $Z'$ as well as two scalar fields $S$ and $\Phi$ are introduced to the Standard Model (SM). $S$ and $\Phi$ are SM singlet…
In this talk I discuss some recent developments in physics beyond the Standard Model. After some initial comments on neutrino masses, I discuss the status of low-energy supersymmetry and finally turn to describing some recent work in…
In these talks, I discuss a few selected topics in integrable models that are of interest from various points of view. Some open questions are also described.
We discuss the effect of the instanton induced, six-fermion effective Lagrangian on the decays of the lightest scalar mesons in the diquark--antidiquark picture. This addition allows for a remarkably good description of light scalar meson…
The Coulomb gauge model, involving an effective QCD Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge, is applied to scalar hadrons. Mass predictions are presented for both conventional q-qbar meson and q-qbar-q-qbar tetra-quark states. Mixing matrix…
Using some simple toy models, we explore the nature of the brane-bulk interaction for cosmological models with a large extra dimension. We are in particular interested in understanding the role of the bulk gravitons, which from the point of…
This paper surveys results concerning peak sets and boundary interpolation sets for the unit disc. It includes hitherto unpublished results proved by David C. Ullrich on peak sets for the Zygmund class.
Using effective field theory methods, we discuss the extraction of the mass and width of the scalar mesons f0(980) and a0(980) from the finite-volume spectrum in lattice QCD. In particular, it is argued that the nature of these states can…

We study the theoretical and phenomenological constraints imposed on the scalar sector of the gauged two Higgs doublet model proposed recently as a variant of the popular inert Higgs doublet model of dark matter. The requirements of…
