The standard model of electroweak interactions is minimally coupled to gravity and the response of the spherically symmetric solutions -the sphaleron and the bisphaleron- to gravity is emphasized. For a given value of the Higgs mass $M_H$,…

Polarons and spin-orbit (SO) coupling are distinct quantum effects that play a critical role in charge transport and spin-orbitronics. Polarons originate from strong electron-phonon interaction and are ubiquitous in polarizable materials…

A numerical study of static, spherically symmetric sphaleron solutions in the standard model coupled to the dilaton field is presented. We show that sphaleron is surrounded by strong dilaton cloud which vanishes inside the sphaleron.
