Fermion mixing is conveniently described using the effective Lagrangian formalism. We apply this approach to study top mixing in models with an infinite tower of Kaluza-Klein fermion excitations. In the Randall-Sundrum background with a…
A second order extension of the QED Lagrangian (including boson-boson coupling) has been used to describe q\bar q hadrons. Assuming massless elementary fermions (quantons) this results in a finite theory without open parameters, which may…
We consider a higher derivative scalar field theory in the presence of a boundary and a classically marginal interaction. We first investigate the free limit where the scalar obeys the square of the Klein-Gordon equation. In precisely $d=6$…
A new technique is developed for the derivation of the Wess-Zumino-Witten terms of gauged chiral lagrangians. We start in D=5 with a pure (mesonless) Yang-Mills theory, which includes relevant gauge field Chern-Simons terms. The theory is…
Meson-antimeson mixing provides the most stringent constraints on baryon- and lepton-number conserving New Physics, probing scales higher than $10^5$ TeV. In the context of the effective theory of weak interactions, these constraints…
The Dualized Standard Model offers a natural place both to Higgs fields and to fermion generations with Higgs fields appearing as frame vectors in internal symmetry space and generation appearing as dual colour. If they are assigned those…

We present a complete and non-redundant basis of effective operators for the Standard Model Effective Field Theory up to mass dimension 12 with three generations of fermions. We also include operators coupling to gravity via the Weyl…
I investigate the role of nonrenormalizable terms, up to order N=8, in a superstring derived standard--like model. I argue that nonrenormalizable terms restrict the gauge symmetry, at the Planck scale, to be $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times…
We demonstrate that the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe can be accommodated in the extended Standard Model with sequential fourth generation fermions (SM4). We first construct the dimension-6 effective operators of the type…
Perturbative unitarity is a powerful tool for inferring the range of validity of a given effective field theory. Here, we study such a bound in the parameter space of dimension-5 and dimension-6 effective operators that arise in a scenario…
With a goal toward explaining the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe, we extend the standard model (SM) by adding a vector-vector dimension-six effective operator coupling a new Dirac fermion $\chi$, uncharged under the SM gauge…
A new dynamical symmetry breaking model of electroweak interactions is proposed based on interacting fermions. Two fermions of different SU_{L}(2) representations form a symmetry breaking condensate and generate the lepton and quark masses.…

We introduce and analyze a system of relativistic fermions in a space-time continuum, which interact via an action principle as previously considered in a discrete space-time. The model is defined by specifying the vacuum as a sum of Dirac…
