The Standard Model correctly describes all interactions at (and below) the electroweak scale. However it does not explain the peculiar pattern of quark, lepton and neutrino masses. Also charge quantization is not understood. These are well…
Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories (LCFT) play a key role, for instance, in the description of critical geometrical problems (percolation, self avoiding walks, etc.), or of critical points in several classes of disordered systems…
We present a novel class of theories where supersymmetry is only preserved in a partial (non-isolated) sector. The supersymmetric sector consists of CFT bound-states that can coexist with fundamental states which do not respect…
