We discuss the effect of a conformally coupled Higgs field on conformal gravity (CG) predictions for the rotation curves of galaxies. The Mannheim-Kazanas (MK) metric is a valid vacuum solution of CG's 4-th order Poisson equation only if…

We derive spherically symmetric solutions of the classical \lambda-R model, a minimal, anisotropic modification of general relativity with a preferred foliation and two local degrees of freedom. Starting from a 3 + 1 decomposition of the…
We consider Cahn-Hilliard equations with external forcing terms. Energy decreasing and mass conservation might not hold. We show that level surfaces of the solutions of such generalized Cahn-Hilliard equations tend to the solutions of a…
Five- and four-dimensional superconformal field theories with eight supercharges arise from canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory, respectively. We study their Coulomb and Higgs branches using crepant…

We propose a gravitational model with a Brans-Dicke-type scalar field having, in the would-be action, a "wrong-sign" kinetic term and a quartic interaction term. In a cosmological context, we obtain, depending on the boundary conditions,…
An alternative to the representation of complex relativity by self-dual complex 2-forms on the spacetime manifold is presented by assuming that that the bundle of real 2-forms is given an almost-complex structure. From this, one can define…
In this article, we solve the equivalence problem for 2--nondegenerate CR geometries that have (at every point) a homogeneous space $G/H$ as a maximally symmetric model for $G$ simple real Lie group of CR automorphisms. This completes the…
We consider the quantum analog of the generalized Zernike systems given by the Hamiltonian: $$\hat{\mathcal{H}}_N =\hat{p}_1^2+\hat{p}_2^2+\sum_{k=1}^N \gamma_k (\hat{q}_1 \hat{p}_1+\hat{q}_2 \hat{p}_2)^k ,$$ with canonical operators…
For the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation, the general form of the point transformations such that the result can be interpreted as a Schr\"odinger equation with effective (i.e. position dependent) mass is studied. A wide class of such…
A linearized version of Heisenberg's fundamental equation is solved, and the solutions satisfy the axioms of a relativistic quantum field theory with a fundamental length.
We review the Calogero-Fran\c{c}oise integrable system, which is a generalization of the Camassa-Holm system. We express solutions as (twisted) Higgs bundles, in the sense of Hitchin, over the projective line. We use this point of view to…
For a semi-linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation of Hartree type in three spatial dimensions, various approximations of singular, point-like perturbations are considered, in the form of potentials of very small range and very large magnitude,…
The two-Higgs-doublet model provides a simple, yet interesting, generalization of the SM Higgs sector. We study the CP-conserving version of this model with general, flavor-diagonal, Yukawa couplings. Indirect constraints are obtained from…
We investigate a recently proposed Higgs-like model (arXiv:0811.4423 [hep-th]), in the framework of a gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. We compute the static potential between test charges in a condensate of scalars…
A three-dimensional integrable generalization of the St\"ackel systems is proposed. The classification of such systems is obtained which results in two families. The first one is the direct sum of the two-dimensional case which is…
It is shown that the inherent quadratic divergence of the Higgs mass renormalization of the standard model may be avoided in the well-studied scotogenic model of radiative neutrino mass as well as other analogous extensions.
We prove global existence and scattering for a class of quadratic Schrodinger equations in dimension 2. The proof relies on the idea of space-time resonance.
The 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) belongs to the simplest extensions of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector that are in accordance with theoretical and experimental constraints. In order to be able to properly investigate the experimental…
