It is often stated that elimination of tree-level flavor-changing neutral currents in multi-Higgs models requires that all fermions of a given charge to couple to the same Higgs boson. A counterexample was provided by Abe, Sato and Yagyu in…
The electric charge renormalization constant, as defined in the Thomson limit, is expressed in terms of self-energies of the photon-Z-boson system in an arbitrary R_\xi-gauge to all perturbative orders. The derivation as carried out in the…
The exact solvability of several nuclear models with non-degenerate single-particle energies is outlined and leads to a generalization of integrable Richardson-Gaudin models, like the $su(2)$-based fermion pairing, to any simple Lie…
We discuss the common features between the Standard Model taxonomy of particles, based on electric charge, strangeness and isospin, and the taxonomy emerging from the key structural elements of the rotating neutrino model, which describes…
Combining the Kaplan surface mode approach for chiral fermions with added terms motivated by Eichten and Preskill suggests the possibility for a lattice regularization of the standard model which is finite, exactly gauge invariant, and only…
We analyze a two dimensional model of gauged fermions with quartic couplings in the large-N limit. This combines the 't Hooft model and the Gross-Neveu model where the coupling constants of both theories are arbitrary. Analytic equations…
We perform a systematic study of the Standard Model embedding in a D-brane configuration of type I string theory at the TeV scale. We end up with an attractive model and we study several phenomenological questions, such as gauge coupling…
Majorana modes and fractional fermions are two types of edge zero modes appearing separately in topological superconductors and dimerized chains. Here we reveal how to harvest both types of edge modes simultaneously in an exotic chain. Such…
We provide a systematic treatment of the tenfold way of classifying fermionic systems that naturally allows for the study of those with arbitrary $N$-body interactions. We identify four types of symmetries that such systems can possess,…
We investigate models where gauge unification (GUT) proceeds in steps that include Pati-Salam symmetry. Beyond the Standard Model, we allow for a well-defined set of small representations of the GUT gauge group. We show that all possible…
Previous studies have shown how the three generations of the Standard Model fermions can arise from a single generation in more than four dimensions, and how off-diagonal neutral couplings arise for gauge-boson Kaluza-Klein recurrences.…
We explore the possibility of having superpartners of triplet Higgs bosons, named as 'triplinos'. They form a part of light neutralinos and charginos in a $Y=0$ extended supersymmetric Standard Model. For this model such electroweakinos do…
We study the quantum cosmology of supersymmetric, homogeneous and isotropic, higher derivative models. We recall superfield actions obtained in previous works and give classically equivalent actions leading to second order equations for the…
We consider a deformation of the Third Family Hypercharge Model, which arguably makes the model more natural. Additional non-zero charges of the spontaneously broken, family-dependent $U(1)_F$ gauge symmetry are assigned to the second…
Implication of our recent proposal [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 65 (1996) 687] to treat large-amplitude gauge-field fluctuations around the slave-boson mean-field theory for the t-J model has been explored in detail. By attaching gauge flux to…
The Standard Model does not provide any dynamical explanation of the existence of different families of fermions. To account for this experimental fact, it just replicates three times its single-family gauge structure. The equal-charge…
We consider exactly solvable 1d multi-band fermionic Hamiltonians, which have affine quantum group symmetry for all values of the deformation. The simplest Hamiltonian is a multi-band t-J model with vanishing spin-spin interaction, which is…
We present an improved upper bound for the ground state energy of lattice fermion models with sign problem. The bound can be computed by numerical simulation of a recently proposed family of deformed Hamiltonians with no sign problem. For…
We propose using ultracold fermionic atoms trapped in a periodically shaken optical lattice as a quantum simulator of the t-J Hamiltonian, which describes the dynamics in doped antiferromagnets and is thought to be relevant to the problem…
We discuss the nature of phase transitions in self-gravitating systems both in the microcanonical and in the canonical ensemble. We avoid the divergence of the gravitational potential at short distances by considering the case of…
