We propose two schemes for the lepton mixing matrix $U = U_l^\dagger U_\nu$, where $U = U_l$ refers to the charged sector, and $U_\nu$ denotes the neutrino diagonalization matrix. We assume $U_\nu$ to be CP conserving and its three angles…
We show that two-dimensional sigma models are equivalent to certain perturbed conformal field theories. When the fields in the sigma model take values in a space G/H for a group G and a maximal subgroup H, the corresponding conformal field…
We have simulated the two-dimensional $RP^2$ and $RP^3$ $\sigma$-models, at correlation lengths up to about 220 (resp.\ 30), using a Wolff-type embedding algorithm. We see no evidence of asymptotic scaling. Indeed, the data rule out the…
The deconfined quantum critical point of a two-dimensional SU(N) antiferromagnet is governed by an Abelian Higgs model in $d=2+1$ spacetime dimensions featuring $N$ complex scalar fields. In this context, we derive for $2\leq d\leq 4$ an…
It is believed that the two-dimensional massless $\mathcal{N}=2$ Wess--Zumino model becomes the $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory (SCFT) in the infrared (IR) limit. We examine this theoretical conjecture of the Landau--Ginzburg…
The large-$N$ nonlinear $O(N)$, $CP^{N-1}$ $\sigma$ models are studied on $R^2 \times S^1$. The $N$-components scalar fields of the models are supposed to acquire a phase $e^{i2\pi\delta}$ $(0\leq \delta <1)$, along the circulation of the…
Generalized matter couplings to four-dimensional supersymmetric sigma models on general Kaehler manifolds are presented, preserving all holomorphic symmetries. Our generalization allows assignment of arbitrary U(1) charges to additional…
As one approaches the continuum limit, $QCD$ systems, investigated via numerical simulations, remain trapped in sectors of field space with fixed topological charge. As a consequence the numerical studies of physical quantities may give…
Critical exponents in the CP^{N-1} model, which describes localized-moment ferro- and antiferromagnets (N=2 in the Heisenberg model), are calculated from two-particle Green's functions to first order in 1/N. For d=2+\epsilon the results…
The endpoint of this series of papers is to construct the monopole Floer homology for any pair $(Y,\omega)$, where $Y$ is a compact oriented 3-manifold with toroidal boundary and $\omega$ is a suitable closed 2-form. In the first paper, we…
The Two-Higgs-Doublet Model is considered, in its CP-non-conserving version. It is shown quantitatively how vacuum stability and tree-level unitarity in the Higgs-Higgs-scattering sector constrain the parameter space of the model. In…
We study localization of elastic waves in two-dimensional heterogeneous solids with randomly distributed Lam\'e coefficients, as well as those with long-range correlations with a power-law correlation function. The Matin-Siggia-Rose method…
Let $H_{P,\sigma}$ be the single-electron fiber Hamiltonians of the massless Nelson model at total momentum $P$ and infrared cut-off $\sigma>0$. We establish detailed regularity properties of the corresponding $n$-particle ground state wave…
Double sigma model with the strong constraints is equivalent to the normal sigma model by imposing the self-duality relation. The gauge symmetries are the diffeomorphism and one-form gauge transformation with the strong constraints. We…
We define a model of 2 coupled SU(2) doublets of scalar fields in $4$ spacetime dimensions which have a rich structure of renormalization group (RG) flows to 1-loop when the SU(2) is broken to U(1). The model is pseudo-hermitian, $H^\dagger…
We investigate the $\theta$-dependence of 2-dimensional $CP^{N-1}$ models in the large-$N$ limit by lattice simulations. Thanks to a recent algorithm proposed by M. Hasenbusch to improve the critical slowing down of topological modes,…
The recent LEP data for gauge coupling constants constrain many grand unified models. In this paper, we study several possibilities for unification of gauge coupling constants. Without an intermediate mass scale, the minimal supersymmetric…
In this paper, quantitative bounds in high-frequency central limit theorems are derived for Poisson based $U$-statistics of arbitrary degree built by means of wavelet coefficients over compact Riemannian manifolds. The wavelets considered…
A formula for the mass-gap of the supersymmetric $\CP^{n-1}$ sigma model ($n > 1$) in two dimensions is derived: $m/\Lambda_{\overline{\rm MS}}=\sin(\pi\Delta)/(\pi\Delta)$ where $\Delta=1/n$ and $m$ is the mass of the fundamental particle…
The M-theory lift of N=2 SU(3) x U(1)_R-invariant RG flow via a combinatorical use of the 4-dimensional flow and 11-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell equations was found previously. By taking the three internal coordinates differently and…
