The influence of strong and electroweak penguin amplitudes in $B/ \bar B \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$ is investigated in connection with the determination of the unitarity triangle angle $\alpha$ of the CKM matrix. A relation between the…

We consider the standard model extension to explore the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the muon. In the QED part of the theory for the CP and CPT-even Lorentz parameter $c_{\mu\nu}$, all independent electromagnetic form factors depend…
We apply a fully automated extension of the $R^*$-operation capable of calculating higher-loop anomalous dimensions of n-point Green's functions of arbitrary, possibly non-renormalisable, local Quantum Field Theories. We focus on the case…
We explore how to protect extra dimensional models from large flavor changing neutral currents by using bulk and brane flavor symmetries. We show that a GIM mechanism can be built in to warped space models such as Randall-Sundrum or…
We calculate the two-loop $10 \times 10$ anomalous dimension matrix ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^{2})$ involving current-current operators, QCD penguin operators, and electroweak penguin operators especially relevant for $\Delta S=1$ weak…

Flavour- and CP-violating electromagnetic or chromomagnetic dipole operators in the quark sector are generated in a large class of new physics models and are strongly constrained by measurements of the neutron electric dipole moment and…
Randall-Sundrum scenario with all the standard model (SM) fermions and gauge bosons in the bulk is phenomenologically studied. Even though the simple assumption of universal bulk fermion mass m_\psi leads to the same Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass…
We show that exponentially large warp factor hierarchies can be dynamically generated in supersymmetric compactifications. The compactification we consider is the supersymmetric extension of the Randall-Sundrum model. The crucial issue is…
Generalizing the Randall-Sundrum scenario to higher dimensions with nested warpings has been shown to avoid the constraints besetting the former. In the first paper of this series [JHEP 1509 (2015) 202], the Standard Model gauge and fermion…
We evaluate one-loop diagrams in the unitary gauge that contribute to flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions involving two and four fermions. Specifically, we deal with penguin and box diagrams arising within the standard model…
We construct the smeared diffeomorphism constraint operator at finite triangulation from the basic holonomy- flux operators of Loop Quantum Gravity, evaluate its continuum limit on the Lewandowski- Marolf habitat and show that the action of…
We calculate the contributions of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes to the gamma-penguins, gluon-penguins, gamma-magnetic penguins and chromomagnetic penguins in the Appelquist, Cheng and Dobrescu (ACD) model with one universal extra dimension.…
Super-exponential warp factors have been proposed in the context of two-brane models to solve the gauge hierarchy problem of scales by using a compactification scale of the same order of the fundamental Planck scale, completely eliminating…
In the absence of the QCD penguin contributions a measurement of the time-dependent asymmetry in the decay $B^0(t)\to \pi^+\pi^-$ gives directly the weak angle $\alpha$. Several bounds have been proposed in the literature on the magnitude…
Randall-Sundrum models are models of quark flavor, because they explain the hierarchies in the quark masses and mixings in terms of order one localization parameters of extra dimensional wavefunctions. The same small numbers which generate…
We calculate CP-violating rates and asymmetry parameters in charged and neutral $B\to \pi\pi, \pi K$ and $\bar K K$ decays arising from the interference of tree and penguin (strong and electroweak) amplitudes with different strong and CKM…
The Standard-Model interpretation of the ratios of charged and neutral B-> pi K rates, R_c and R_n, respectively, points towards a puzzling picture. Since these observables are affected significantly by colour-allowed electroweak (EW)…
We consider a six dimensional gauge theory compactified on $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ with magnetic flux. The configurations of models are classified by winding numbers at the fixed points. Requiring the existence of generation numbers and Yukawa…
