Symmetries are manifested in nature through degeneracies in the spectra of physical systems. In the case of heavy deformed nuclei, when described in the framework of the Interacting Boson Model, within which correlated proton (neutron)…
We survey some recent ideas and progress in looking for particle physics beyond the Standard Model, connected by the theme of Supersymmetry (SUSY). We review the success of SUSY-GUT models, the expected experimental signatures and present…
In this paper we describe the evolution of the Universe in terms of the Friedmann equation, which takes into account of the composition and geometry of the Universe. The dependence of the solution on the geometry and composition for…
If supersymmetry exists at any scale, regardless of whether it is restored around the weak scale, it may be a good symmetry of the dark sector, enforcing a degeneracy between its lowest lying fermions and bosons. We explore the implications…
In this report I give the short historical review some of the first steps that were done to the invention of SUSY in Kharkov team headed by D.Volkov. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Yu. Gol'fand, whose ideas of SUSY inspired…
A physical theory of the world is presented under the unifying principle that all of nature is laid out before us and experienced through the passage of time. The one-dimensional progression in time is opened out into a multi-dimensional…
New experimental tests of nuclear supersymmetry are suggested. They involve the measurement of one- and two-nucleon transfer reactions between nuclei that belong to the same supermultiplet. These reactions provide a direct test of the…
We inspect the initial and the long time evolution of excitations a Fermi liquids by analyzing the time behavior of the electron spectral function. Focusing on the short-time limit we study the electron-boson model for the homogenous…
Any permutation has a disjoint cycle decomposition and concept generates an equivalence class on the symmetry group called the cycle-type. The main focus of this work is on permutations of restricted cycle-types, with particular emphasis on…
These lectures provide a phenomenological introduction to supersymmetry, concentrating on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). In the first lecture, motivations are provided for thinking that supersymmetry…
This is a preliminary version, comments and inputs are welcome. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Fuzzy Spaces. 3. Star Products. 4. Scalar Fields on the Fuzzy Sphere. 5. Instantons, Monopoles and Projective Modules. 6. Fuzzy Nonlinear Sigma…
Chains of first-order SUSY transformations for the spin equation are studied in detail. It is shown that the transformation chains are related with a olynomial pseudo-supersymmetry of the system. Simple determinant formulas for the final…
Three-dimensional gauge theories coupled to fermions can develop interesting nonperturbative dynamics. Here we study in detail the dynamics of $SU(N)$ gauge theories coupled to a Dirac fermion in the rank-two symmetric and antisymmetric…
I summarize the development of the ideas of Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the 1960s with an outline of the Guralnik, Hagen, Kibble (GHK) paper and include comments on the relationship of this paper to those of Brout, Englert and Higgs. I…
The quasi-degeneracy between the single-particle states $(n,\,l,\,j=l+1/2)$ and $(n-1,\,l+2,\,j=l+3/2)$ indicates a special and hidden symmetry in atomic nuclei---the so-called pseudospin symmetry (PSS)---which is an important concept in…
This work proposes a natural extension of the Bargmann-Fock representation to a SUSY system. The main objective is to show that all essential structures of the n-dimensional SUSY oscillator are supplied by basic differential geometrical…
In the first part I set out some unexplored historical material about the early development of cosmic topology. In the second part I briefly comment new developments in the field since the Lachieze-Rey & Luminet report (1995), both from a…
After a brief review of the flavour problem we present a new predictive framework based on SUSY $SO(10)$ theory, where the first family plays a role of the mass unification point. The inter-family hierarchy is first generated in a sector of…
We discuss the status of supersymmetric grand unified theories [SUSY GUTs] with regards to the observation of proton decay. In this talk we focus on SUSY GUTs in 4 dimensions. We outline the major theoretical uncertainties present in the…
We review many quantum aspects of torsion theory and discuss the possibility of the space-time torsion to exist and to be detected. The paper starts, in Chapter 2, with an introduction to the classical gravity with torsion, that includes…
