This work presents a general formalism to analyze a generic bulk scalar field in a multiple warped extra-dimensional model with arbitrary number of extra dimensions. The Kaluza-Klein mass modes along with the self-interaction couplings are…
Scalar fields describe interesting phenomena such as Higgs bosons, dark matter and dark energy, and are found to be quite common in physical theories. These fields are susceptible to gravitational forces so that being massless is not enough…
Corrections to $K_{L}^{0}\rightarrow \pi^{0} \gamma \gamma$ decay induced by scalar meson exchange are studied within chiral perturbation theory. In spite of bad knowledge of scalar-mesons parameters, the calculated branching ratio can be…
We study radial excitations of pseudoscalar and vector (q bar q) mesons within a chiral approach. We derive a general form for a chiral Lagrangian describing processes involving excited pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The parameters of the…
Scalar mesons are a key expression of the strong coupling regime of QCD. How those with $I_3=0$ couple to two photons supplies important information about which is transiently ${\bar q}q$ or ${\bar {qq}} qq$ or multi-meson molecule or…
In this paper we give a variation of the gauge procedure which employs a scalar gauge field, $B (x)$, in addition to the usual vector gauge field, $A_\mu (x)$. We study this variant of the usual gauge procedure in the context of a complex…
This report attempts to summarize the most interesting (and hopefully important) results leading up to and including those presented at the recent Symposium sponsored jointly by the Institute of Quantum Science at Nihon University and KEK.…
We review two approaches to studying pseudoscalar meson-meson scattering amplitudes to beyond 1 GeV using non-linear and linear chiral Lagrangians. These approaches use two different unitarisation techniques - a generalised Breit Wigner…
The scalar mesons $\sigma(600)$, $\kappa(800)$, $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ together with the pseudo Goldstone bosons $\pi$, $K$, and $\eta$ may be considered as the Higgs sector of strong interaction. After a long time of uncertainty about…
We evaluate systematically some new contributions of the QCD scalar mesons, including radiative decay-productions, not considered with a better attention until now in the evaluation of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomaly. The sum…
This is a brief overview of light scalar meson spectroscopy, addressing longstanding problems, recent developments and future perspectives. In particular, a new comprehensive data analysis is introduced which will help to unravel the…
In the past few years there has been a great deal of theoretical and experimental activity related to the search for low-mass scalars, pseudoscalars, and vectors in various scenarios of physics beyond the standard model. I review the…
We study the strong and electromagnetic decay properties of scalar mesons above 1 GeV within a chiral approach. The scalar-isoscalar states are treated as mixed states of quarkonia and glueball configurations. A fit to the experimental mass…
Comments are made on some recently published papers on matter collineations of plane symmetric, cylindrically symmetric and spherically symmetric spacetimes.
We comment on the recent paper by Balog and Niedermaier [hep-th/9701156].
This is a brief account of my results with George Boxer, Frank Calegari and Vincent Pilloni on the (potential) modularity of abelian surfaces.
The $\sigma$ mesons may be considered as the Higgs boson of strong interaction. While the observation of the electroweak Higgs boson is the primary goal in ongoing experiments at the LHC, the $\sigma$ meson is by now well studied both as an…
I review the novel results and developments presented at the Third Workshop on Physics and Detectors for DA$\Phi$NE that deal with hadronic physics. Topics discussed include: the scalar quark condensate, kaon decays, the sector of scalar…

Classical and quantum complex nonlinear scalar fields are considered. A new approach to the quantization of nonlinear fields and the construction of a perturbation theory with allowance for spontaneous symmetry breaking is proposed, based…
