We study the chiral symmetry in two-color QCD with N massless flavors at finite temperature, using an effective theory. For the gauge group SU(2), the chiral symmetry is enlarged to SU(2N), which is then spontaneously broken to Sp(2N) at…
We discuss dynamics of N=2 supersymmetric SU(n_c) gauge theories with n_f quark hypermultiplets. Upon N=1 perturbation of introducing a finite mass for the adjoint chiral multiplet, we show that the flavor U(n_f) symmetry is dynamically…
We derive and solve the compositeness condition for the SU(N_c) gauge boson at the next-to-leading order in 1/N_f (N_f is the number of flavors) and the leading order in ln(\Lambda ^2) (\Lambda is the compositeness scale) to obtain an…

We show that the factorization assumption in colour-suppressed $B$ meson decays is not ruled out by experimental data on $B \ra K(K^*) + J/\Psi(\Psi^{'})$. The problem previously pointed out might be due to an inadequate choice of hadronic…

We consider the $SU(2)$ gauge theory with $N_f=2$ flavors of Dirac fundamental fermions. We study the high-temperature behavior of the spectra of mesons, discretizing the theory on anisotropic lattices, and measuring the two-point…
Motivated by recent scenarios of exotic infrared behaviour and by earlier lattice findings, we present results for the SU(2) gauge theory with one Dirac flavor in the adjoint representation. This provides a major update on our previous…
Pursuing a bottom-up approach to explore which flavor symmetry could serve as an explanation of the observed fermion masses and mixings, we discuss an extension of the standard model (SM) where the flavor structure for both quarks and…
