We give a pedagogical introduction to the physics of large extra dimensions. We focus our discussion on minimal extensions of the Standard Model in which gauge fields may propagate in a single, compact extra dimension while the fermions are…
We initiate the study of a new class of beyond the Standard Model states that we call "Loryons." They have the defining characteristic of being non-decoupling, in the sense that their physical mass is dominated by a contribution from the…
We explore the potential of ultimate unification of the Standard Model matter and gauge sectors into a single $E_8$ superfield in ten dimensions via an intermediate Pati-Salam gauge theory. Through a consistent realisation of a…
Cold fermionic atoms with three different hyperfine states with SU(3) symmetry confined in one-dimensional optical lattices show color-charge separation, generalizing the conventional spin charge separation for interacting SU(2) fermions in…
Photons (bosons) confined in a hollow waveguide containing an atomic gas could show spin-charge separation, which is more commonly associated with one-dimensional fermions.
The weak currents with respect to the diagonal neutral bosons $Z$,$Z^{\prime}$, and $Z^{\prime\prime}$ of a specific \textbf{$SU(4)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{Y}$} gauge model are computed in detail for all the fermion families involved therein. Our…
In light of null results from New Physics searches at the LHC, we look at unification of the gauge couplings as a model-building principle. As a first step, we consider extensions of the Standard Model with vector-like fermions. We present…
We explore the anomaly-cancellation constraints on simplified dark matter (DM) models with an extra U(1)$^\prime$ gauge boson $Z'$. We show that, if the Standard Model (SM) fermions are supplemented by a single DM fermion $\chi$ that is a…
A supersymmetric Pati-Salam model with wrapping number equal to 5 has been constructed in Type IIA orientifolds on $\mathbf{T}^6/(\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2)$ with intersecting D6-branes recently. In particular, the string-scale gauge…
Spin-charge separation is a hallmark of one-dimensional fermionic systems, yet its realization in higher dimensions remains an open question. To address this issue, we investigate a two-leg t-J ladder using the density matrix…
We study the statistics of holons and spinons in the framework of the gauge theory. We start with the t-J model in the slave-boson formalism and use Chern-Simons gauge theory to study the statistics transmutation of quasiexcitations in the…
In this paper we reexamine the problem of the separation of spin and charge degrees of freedom in two dimensional strongly correlated systems. We establish a set of sufficient conditions for the occurence of spin and charge separation.…
Magnetic and superconducting pairing correlation functions in a general class of Hubbard models, the t-J model and a single-band Hubbard model with additional bond-charge interaction are investigated, respectively. Some rigorous upper…
The gauge group of strong and electroweak interactions in Nature could be any of the four that share the same Lie algebra, $SU(3)_c\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y/Z_p\equiv G_p$ with $Z_p=\left\{Z_6,Z_3,Z_2,Z_1\right\}$. Each of these cases…
The problem of the origin of the mu parameter in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model can be solved by introducing singlet supermultiplets with non-renormalizable couplings to the ordinary Higgs supermultiplets. The Peccei-Quinn…
Composite Higgs models can be extended to the Planck scale by means of the partially unified partial compositeness (PUPC) framework. We present in detail the Techni-Pati-Salam model, based on a renormalizable gauge theory $SU(8)_{PS}\times…
The Standard Model stands as the first established, complete (gravity aside), fundamental theory of nature. In the other hand, it is unable to account for some universal observations -- besides possessing a number of undesirable…
In the flavour dependence hadrons and leptons show a mass relation, not expected in the Standard Model. This can be understood in an analysis, based on a particle Lagrangian with Maxwell term, boson-boson coupling and massless fermions…
We construct an extension of the Standard Model (SM) which is based on grand unification with Pati-Salam symmetry. The setup is supplemented with the idea of spontaneous flavour symmetry breaking which is mediated through flavon fields with…
We investigate two-component ultracold fermionic atoms with repulsive interactions trapped in an optical lattice with a ladder structure. By applying the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations to an effective t-J model in the strong correlation…
