In this paper, we discuss the generalizations of exact supersymmetries present in the supersymmetrized sigma models. These generalizations are made by making the supersymmetric transformation parameter field-dependent. Remarkably, the…
Recently, a new minimal extension of the Standard Model has been proposed, where a spontaneously broken, flavor-dependent global U(1) symmetry is introduced. It not only explains the hierarchical flavor structure in the quark and lepton…

The observation of a sizable CP asymmetry in the inclusive decays B -> Xs gamma would be a clean signal of New Physics. In the Standard Model, this asymmetry is below 1 % in magnitude. In extensions of the Standard Model with new…

Using the basic ingredient of supersymmetry, we develop a simple alternative approach to perturbation theory in one-dimensional non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The formulae for the energy shifts and wave functions do not involve tedious…
We review models of supersymmetric quantum mechanics that are important in the description of supermembranes and of Dirichlet particles, which play a role in the context of M-theory.
The special features of CP violation in the Standard Model are presented. The significance of measuring CP violation in B, K and D decays is explained. The predictions of the Standard Model for CP asymmetries in B decays are analyzed in…

We classify a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model by discrete symmetries originating from finite modular symmetries $\Gamma_N$. Since all the couplings in supersymmetric theories of finite modular symmetries $\Gamma_N$ are…
We discuss CP violation in supersymmetric theories and show that CP phenomena can act as a probe of their origins, i.e., compactification and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. CP violation as a probe of the flavor structure of…
We study the colour connection structure of R-parity violating decays and production cross sections, and construct a Monte Carlo simulation of these processes including colour coherence effects. We then present some results from the…
We analyze new sources of flavor violation in models with extra dimensions. We focus on three major classes of five dimensional models: models with universal extra dimension, models with split fermions, and models with warped extra…
We propose renormalizable models of new physics that can explain various anomalies observed in decays of B-mesons to electron and muon pairs. The new physics states couple to linear combinations of Standard Model fermions, yielding a…
We consider a supersymmetric extension of the standard model, which possess a family symmetry based on a binary dihedral group Q6, and investigate the consequences of the family symmetry on the mixing of fermions, FCNCs and the stability of…
