The flavor puzzle of the Standard Model is explained in split fermion models by having the fermions localized and separated in an extra dimension. Many of these models assume a certain profile for the Higgs VEV, usually uniform, or confined…
We consider a 5D extension of the DFSZ axion model that addresses both the axion quality and fermion mass hierarchy problems, and predicts flavour-dependent, off-diagonal axion-fermion couplings. The axion is part of a 5D complex scalar…
We study a warped extra-dimension scenario where the Standard Model fields lie in the bulk, with the addition of a fourth family of fermions. We concentrate on the flavor structure of the Higgs couplings with fermions in the flavor anarchy…
The domain wall formulation of lattice fermions is expected to support accurate chiral symmetry, even at finite lattice spacing. Here we attempt to use this new fermion formulation to simulate two-flavor, finite temperature QCD near the…
We investigate the properties of domain wall fermions on a set of quenched configurations at non-zero temperature. In particular, we compute the low lying eigenvalues of the DWF operator and study their relation with topology, level…
We formulate the massive domain wall fermions on anisotropic lattices. For the massive domain wall fermion, we find that the dispersion relation assumes the usual form in the low momentum region when the bare parameters are properly tuned.…
A Fermi ball is a kind of non-topological soliton, which is thought to arise from the spontaneous breaking of an approximate $Z_2$ symmetry and to contribute to cold dark matter. We consider a simple model in which fermion fields with…
We consider a brane generated by a scalar field domain wall configuration in 4+1 dimensions, interpolating, in most cases, between two vacua of the field. We study the cosmology of such a system in the cases where the effective…
Domain wall fermions are a new lattice fermion formulation which preserves the full chiral symmetry of the continuum at finite lattice spacing, up to terms exponentially small in an extra parameter. We discuss the main features of the…
In this letter we demonstrate that the fermionic zero modes on a superconducting domain wall can be associated to an one dimensional $N=6$ supersymmetry that contains non-trivial topological charges. In addition, the system also possesses…
We show the infrared equivalence between a recently proposed model containing a six dimensional scalar field with a four-dimensional localized Higgs type potential and the four-dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. In the dual NJL…
We employ the domain wall fermion (DWF) formulation of the Thirring model on a lattice in 2+1+1 dimensions and perform $N=1$ flavor Monte Carlo simulations. At a critical interaction strength the model features a spontaneous…
We discuss consequences of flavor mixings in the scalar fermion sector of supersymmetric models endowed with ultra heavy scalars. We find that, under extreme fine-tunings different than but similar in size to that needed to obtain a light…
We consider the 3-d Gross-Neveu model in the broken phase and construct a stable brane world by means of a domain wall and an anti-wall. Fermions of opposite chirality are localized on the walls and coupled through the 3-d bulk. At large…
We study an SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=8 degenerate flavors of light fermions in the fundamental representation. Using the domain wall fermion formulation, we investigate the light hadron spectrum, chiral condensate and electroweak S…
We suggest a thick braneworld model in the squared curvature gravity theory. Despite the appearance of higher order derivatives, the localization of gravity and various bulk matter fields is shown to be possible. The existence of the…
Massless fermions on scalar domain walls are considered. Two walls are established, corresponding to 5-dimensional static spacetime asymptotically Anti de-Sitter, differentiated by the symmetry around the wall, and in each case massless…
We present results from numerical simulations of full, two flavor QCD thermodynamics at N_t=4 with domain wall fermions. For the first time a numerical simulation of the full QCD phase transition displays a low temperature phase with…
I review the Thirring model in 2+1$d$ dimensions, focussing in particular on possible strongly-interacting UV-stable fixed points of the renormalisation group, corresponding to a continuous phase transition where a U($2N$) global symmetry…
We introduce a lattice fermion-Higgs model with one component `reduced staggered' fermions. In order to use the fermion field as efficiently as possible we couple the two {\em staggered} flavors to the O(4) Higgs field leading to a model…
