Inspired by recent developments generalizing Jordan-Wigner dualities to higher dimensions, we develop a framework of such dualities using an algebraic formalism for translation-invariant Hamiltonians proposed by Haah. We prove that given a…
The nonlinear $\sigma$-model in (2+1) dimensions admits topological configurations called skyrmions. The topological charge of skyrmions turn out to be the fermionic number and the fermionic current is dictated by the skyrmion field…
The generic supersymmetric version of the Standard Model would have the minimal list of superfields incorporating the Standard Model particles, and a Lagrangian dictated by the Standard Model gauge symmetries. To be phenomenologically…
Based on the stringy differential geometry we proposed earlier, we incorporate fermions such as gravitino and dilatino into double field theory in a manifestly covariant manner with regard to O(D,D) T-duality, diffeomorphism, one-form gauge…
We show that when the dynamical dimension of the $\bar{\psi}\psi$ operator is reduced from three to two in a fermion electrodynamics with scaling, a $g(\bar{\psi}\psi)^2+g(\bar{\psi}i\gamma^5\psi)^2$ four-fermion interaction which is…
We are inspired by the facts that M-theory may reconcile the supersymmetric GUT scale with that of quantum gravity, and that it provides new avenues for low-energy supersymmetry breaking, to re-examine a flipped SU(5) model that has been…
Some time ago Kaplan proposed a new model for the description of chiral fermions on the lattice by adding an extra dimension for the fermions. A variant of this proposal was introduced by Shamir and can be used to describe vector-like…
Dynamical fermion mass generation is studied in the three-dimensional Thirring model reformulated as a gauge theory by introducing hidden local symmetry. The analysis by use of Schwinger-Dyson equation is shown to exhibit a critical…
A new density matrix and corresponding quantum kinetic equations are introduced for fermions undergoing coherent evolution either in time (coherent particle production) or in space (quantum reflection). A central element in our derivation…
The realistic free fermionic models have had remarkable success in providing plausible explanations for various properties of the Standard Model which include the natural appearance of three generations, the explanation of the heavy top…
For the symmetric space sigma model in the internal metric formalism we explicitly construct the lagrangian in terms of the axions and the dilatons of the solvable Lie algebra gauge and then we exactly derive the axion-dilaton field…
Four global gauge transformation of the free fermion Lagrangian is considered. One of these transformations has S(1) symmetry, other transformation has SU(2) symmetry, and two others have SU(3) symmetry. It is supposed, that these…
The Standard Model (SM) is a chiral theory, where right- and left-handed fermion fields transform differently under the gauge group. Extra fermions, if they do exist, need to be heavy otherwise they would have already been observed. With no…
The Hermitian matrix model with general linear symmetry is argued to decouple into a finite unitary matrix model that contains metastable multidimensional lattice configurations and a fermion determinant. The simplest metastable state is a…
We reformulate eleven-dimensional supergravity, including fermions, in terms of generalised geometry, for spacetimes that are warped products of Minkowski space with a $d$-dimensional manifold $M$ with $d\leq7$. The reformation has a…
An extension of the Standard Model is proposed, where the Higgs field is valued in the complex projective plane ${\mathbb{CP}}^2$, rather than ${\mathbb{C}}^2$. Its geometry is consistent with $U(2) \simeq (SU(2) \times U(1))/ \mathbb{Z}_2$…
Spherical reduction of generic four-dimensional theories is revisited. Three different notions of "spherical symmetry" are defined. The following sectors are investigated: Einstein-Cartan theory, spinors, (non-)abelian gauge fields and…
We show that the sum over geometries in the Lorentzian 4-D state sum model for quantum GR in [1] includes terms which correspond to geometries on manifolds with conical singularities. Natural approximations suggest that they can be…
We study "higher-dimensional" generalizations of differential forms. Just as differential forms can be defined as the universal commutative differential algebra containing C^\infty(M), we can define differential gorms as the universal…
A gauge theory for a superalgebra that includes an internal gauge (G) and local Lorentz algebras, and that could describe the low energy particle phenomenology is constructed. These two symmetries are connected by fermionic supercharges.…
