The extended technicolor theory is a candidate of the physics beyond the standard model. To explain the mass hierarchy of the quarks and leptons, the extended technicolor gauge symmetry must hierarchically break to the technicolor gauge…
In the presence of topologically nontrivial bosonic field configurations, the fermion number operator may take on fractional eigenvalues, because of the existence of zero-energy fermion modes. The simplest examples of this occur in 1+1…
We study implications of large lepton-quark-leptoquark couplings for direct leptoquark searches at Large Hadron Collider. We present all existing flavor constraints on the strength of these couplings assuming that leptoquarks under…
The Dualized Standard Model offers a natural explanation for Higgs fields and 3 generations of fermions plus a perturbative method for calculating SM parameters. By adjusting only 3 parameters, 14 quark and lepton masses and mixing…
We study the squark spectra of Flavored Gauge Mediation Models, in which messenger-matter superpotential couplings generate new, generation-dependent contributions to the squark masses. The new couplings are controlled by the same flavor…
The Twin Higgs model provides a natural theory for the electroweak symmetry breaking without the need of new particles carrying the standard model gauge charges below a few TeV. In the low energy theory, the only probe comes from the mixing…
We present some arguments showing spectrum doubling of matrix models in the limit $N\to\infty$ which is connected with fermionic determinant behaviour. The problems are similar to ones encountered in the lattice gauge theories with chiral…
It now appears phenomenologically that the third family of fundamental fermions may be essentially different fron the first two. Particularly the high value (174GeV?) of the top quark mass suggests a special role. In the standard model all…
We investigate the pair production of a vector-like quark triplet with hypercharge 5/3 decaying into top quark and a complex scalar triplet with hypercharge 1 at the LHC. This novel scenario, featuring particles with exotic charges - two…
A non-supersymmetric grand unified theory can exhibit a "radiative fermion mass hierarchy", in which the heavier quarks and leptons get mass at tree level and the lighter ones get mass from loop diagrams. Recently the first predictive model…
This article studies one-generator and two-generator quasi-cyclic codes over finite fields. We present two versions of necessary and sufficient conditions for the symplectic selforthogonality of one-generator quasi-cyclic codes, using both…
I investigate the phenomenology of supersymmetric models with extra vector-like supermultiplets that couple to the Standard Model gauge fields and transform as the fundamental representation of a new confining non-Abelian gauge interaction.…
A colored weak singlet scalar state with hypercharge 4/3 is one of the possible candidates for the explanation of the unexpectedly large forward-backward asymmetry in t tbar production as measured by the CDF and D0 experiments. We…
Four-fermion operators may have large anomalous scaling and become relevant operators in some strongly interacting gauge theories. We present a detailed model which illustrates some of the implications of such operators for the generation…
The top quark seesaw mechanism offers a method for constructing a composite Higgs field without the usual difficulties that accompany traditional technicolor or topcolor theories. The focus of this article is to study the phenomenology of…
A quark coalescence model is presented based on semi-relativistic molecular dynamics with color interactions among quarks taken into account and applied to $pp$ collisions to study the effects of this model. A phenomenological potential…
It is argued that antiparticles may be interpreted in macroscopic terms without explicitly using the concept of time and its reversal. The appropriate framework is that of nonrelativistic phase space. It is recalled that a quantum version…
Assuming that vector and scalar diquarks exist in the Quark-Gluon Plasma near the critical temporature $T_c$, baryons can be produced through the processes of quarks and diquarks forming $({1/2})^+$ baryon states. Ratios of different…
Construction of the wave functions of multiquark hadrons by traditional method based on tensor products of colors, flavors, spins (and orbital) parts becomes quite complex when quark numbers grow $n=5,6...12$, as it gets difficult to…
The standard model of quarks and leptons is extended to connect three outstanding issues in particle physics and astrophysics: (1) the absence of strong CP nonconservation, (2) the existence of dark matter, and (3) the mechanism of nonzero…
