In the standard model the running quartic coupling becomes negative during its renormalization group flow, which destabilizes the vacuum. We consider U(1) extensions of the standard model, with an extra complex scalar field and a…

A dynamical theory is studied in which a scalar field $\phi$ in Einstein- Minkowski space is coupled to the four-velocity $N_{\mu}$ of a preferred inertial observer in that space. As a consistent requirement on this coupling we study a…
Second order corrections to the perturbative ground state wave functional and vacuum energy of a Yang-Mills theory are calculated in the temporal gauge. Using dimensional regularization, the concepts of renormalization and a running…
A shortcut to adiabaticity is a driving protocol that reproduces in a short time the same final state that would result from an adiabatic, infinitely slow process. A powerful technique to engineer such shortcuts relies on the use of…
