The final session of FPCP 2008 consisted of a round-table discussion among panelists and audience. The panelists included Jeffrey Appel(moderator), Martin Beneke, George W.S. Hou, David Kirkby, Dmitri Tsybychev, Matt Wingate, and Taku…
The scalar-meson assignments of Shakin and Wang in a generalized Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model are contradicted by recent experimental information. Also the strict distinction made by these authors between ``intrinsic'' and ``dynamically…
This article was prepared in connection with the 2009 Barnett lecture at the University of Cincinnati, and deals with various classes of fractal sets and analysis on them.
Recent work of the J\"ulich group about the role of meson-meson correlations in baryon-baryon and antibaryon-baryon interactions is reviewed.
Corrections to $K\rightarrow\pi\pi\pi$ induced by vector and scalar meson exchange are investigated within chiral perturbation theory.
LHCb measurements of $B_{d,s} \to J/\psi + X$ are shown to be consistent with historical data on scalar and axial mesons below 2 GeV. This is in contrast to some recent interpretations of these data. Further tests of our hypotheses in other…
After briefly reviewing some arguments in favor of high scale and low scale supersymmetry breaking, I discuss a possible solution of the $\mu$-problem of gauge mediated models.
Meson exchange diagrams following from a lagrangian with off-shell meson-nucleon couplings are compared with those generated from conventional dynamics. The off-shell interactions can be transformed away with the help of a nucleon field…
We determine the mass and strength of the scalar meson from NN scattering data by renormalizing the One Boson Exchange Potential. This procedure provides a great insensitivity to the unknown short distance interaction making the vector…
Among several authors, who studied massive and massless scalar meson fields in general relativity, attempts to obtain a complete set of solutions for a conformally flat metric $e^{\psi}\left({dx^1}^2 + {dx^2}^2 + {dx^3}^2 - {dx^4}^2\right)$…
These are lecture notes on scale calculus and M-polyfolds written for a graduate course at UNICAMP March-June 2018 and an advanced mini-course given during the biannual meeting of Brazilian mathematicians, CBM-32, at IMPA in August 2019.
In the analysis a status and parameters of the scalar, vector, and tensor mesonic resonances are obtained and compared with other results. Possible classification of the resonance states in terms of the SU(3) multiplets is discussed.
The main elements and methods of chiral perturbation theory, the effective field theory of the Standard Model below the scale of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, are summarized. Applications to the interactions of mesons and baryons at…
The models in the two papers hep-ph/0608068 and hep-ph/0701254 by Chang et al. with the so-called shadow gauge and scalar fields are nothing but convenient tailored versions of our model in hep-th/0403039. The same remarks applies to the…
Aspects of Scalar Meson Dominance in semi- and non-leptonic weak pseudoscalar meson decays are shortly discussed on the basis of the Quark-Level Linear Sigma Model.
We summarize the different features of the scalar mesons from QCD spectral sum rule analyses of the two- and three-point functions. The results do not favour the u-bar u + d-bar d interpretation of the broad and low mass sigma (0.6), and…
This talk is a brief account of recent developments on light scalar meson spectroscopy. I mostly focus on the major revision of the $\sigma$ or $f_0(500)$ meson in the Review of Particle Physics, driven by new data and the accummulation of…
Analysis of the isoscalar S- and D-waves of processes pi-pi-> pi-pi, K-Kbar, eta-eta is carried out aimed at studying the status and QCD nature of scalar and tensor mesons below 2 GeV and 2.3 GeV, respectively. Assignment of these mesons to…
In this manuscript, I give a short summary on scenarios with new physics scalars that could be investigated at future $e^+e^-$ colliders. I concentrate on cases where at least one of the additional scalar has a mass below 125 GeV, and…
These notes, based on the remarks made at the 23 Solvay Conference, collect several speculative ideas concerning gauge/ strings duality, de Sitter spaces, dimensionality and the cosmological constant.
