This article derives lower bounds on the supremal (strict) p-negative type of finite metric spaces using purely elementary techniques. The bounds depend only on the cardinality and the (scaled) diameter of the underlying finite metric…
Dark matter is one of the pillars of the current standard model of structure formation: it is assumed to constitute most of the matter in the Universe. However, it can so far only be probed indirectly through its gravitational effects, and…
Precision and accuracy, as two crucial criteria for quantum metrology, have previously lacked rigorous definitions and distinctions. In this paper, we provide a unified definition of precision and accuracy from the perspective of…
In this contribution we discuss conceptual issues of current mass measurements performed at the Tevatron. In addition we propose an alternative method which is theoretically much cleaner and to a large extend free from the problems…
The past century has seen a steady increase in the need of estimating and predicting complex systems and making (possibly critical) decisions with limited information. Although computers have made possible the numerical evaluation of…
We discuss recent progress in Standard Model predictions related to Higgs boson physics at the LHC and comment on the combination of higher order corrections with potential effects of heavy New Physics parametrised by Effective Field…
This contribution reviews the latest results of the perturbative calculations of heavy-Higgs amplitudes. A comparison of perturbative results with nonperturbative lattice calculations is made, and the theoretical uncertainties of the lower…
The continuous limit of large systems of particles of finite size on the line is described. The particles are assumed to move freely and stick under collision, to form compound particles whose mass and size is the sum of the masses and…
In this article we present recent advances on interval methods for rigorous computation of Poincar\'e maps. We also discuss the impact of choice of Poincar\'e section and coordinate system on obtained bounds for computing Poincar\'e map…
Virial mass is used as an estimator for the mass of a dark matter halo. However, the commonly used constant overdensity criterion does not reflect the dynamical structure of haloes. Here we analyze dark matter cosmological simulations in…
In this presentation I will primarily focus on top quark physics but I will include a discussion of the W-boson mass and the possibility of discovering a light Higgs boson via associated production at the Tevatron.
Several proposals exist for energy-frontier facilities after the HL-LHC. In this contribution I review the potential of these facilities to perform key measurements of top quark properties and interacions. Top quark precision physics at a…
The precision frontier in collider physics is being pushed at impressive speed, from both the experimental and the theoretical side. The aim of this review is to give an overview of recent developments in precision calculations within the…
The defect of valued field extensions is a major obstacle in open problems in resolution of singularities and in the model theory of valued fields, whenever positive characteristic is involved. We continue the detailed study of defect…
Various facets of the concept of mass are discussed. The masses of elementary particles and the search for higgs. The masses of hadrons. The pedagogical virus of relativistic mass.
The concepts of precision, and accuracy are domain and problem dependent. The simplified numeric hard and soft measures used in the fields of statistical learning, many types of machine learning, and binary or multiclass classification…
In this paper, extending past works of Del Popolo, we show how a high precision mass function (MF) can be obtained using the excursion set approach and an improved barrier taking implicitly into account a non-zero cosmological constant, the…
Recent published and preliminary precision electroweak measurements are reviewed, including new results on the mass of the top quark and mass and width of the W boson. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the…
Promoting a theory with a finite number of terms into an effective field theory with an infinite number of terms worsens simplicity, predictability, falsifiability, and other attributes often favored in theory choice. However, the…
As a mediator of the weak nuclear force, the W boson influences many properties of fundamental particles and their interactions. Understanding the W boson as accurately as possible, including knowing its mass, has been a priority in…
