We present a model where the QCD axion is at the TeV scale and visible at a collider via its decays. Conformal dynamics and strong CP considerations account for the axion coupling strongly enough to the standard model to be produced as well…
An extension of the gauge group $SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y$ of the standard model to the symmetry group $SU(4)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ (3-4-1 for short) is presented. The model does not contain exotic electric charges and anomaly cancellation is…
We study a hybrid model in which the Technicolor and fundamental heavy scalars live together. We concern extreme case, where electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) comes almost entirely from the strong dynamics of Technicolor, but the masses…
Four-top production and top pair production in association with missing energy at e+e- colliders are sensitive probes of beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. We consider Standard Model (SM) extensions containing a new U(1)' which couples…
The salient features of models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking are reviewed. The ideal walking idea is introduced according to which one should carefully take into account the effects of the extended technicolor dynamics on the…
We study low-dimensional quantum systems with analytical and computational methods. Firstly, the one-dimensional extended $t$-$V$ model of fermions with interactions of a finite range is investigated. The model exhibits a phase transition…
In Little Higgs models, the Higgs mass is stabilized at the one-loop level by the mechanism of collective symmetry breaking. Typically, the basic ingredient of these models is a large(r) global symmetry group spontaneously broken at a scale…
We propose a chiral quark model including the $\omega$ and $\rho$ meson contributions in addition to the $\pi$ and $\sigma$ meson contributions. We show that the masses of the ground state baryons such as the nucleon, $\Lambda_c$ and…
The electron-positive fermion gas in three dimensions and $T=0$ is modeled as two independent fermion gases interacting via the coulomb interaction. The main advantage of the simple model is that all existing results from the electron gas…
Excitonic condensation and superfluidity have recently received a renewed attention, due to the fabrication of bilayer systems in which electrons and hole are spatially separated and form stable pairs known as indirect excitons.…
We compute masses, trilinear self-couplings and decay widths into weak bosons of the scalar composite bosons in the case of the Minimal and Ultraminimal technicolor models. The masses, computed via the Bethe-Salpeter equation, turn out to…
A realistic technicolor model is presented with the dynamics below $150$ TeV treated explicitly. Electroweak symmetry is broken by the condensates of a `minimal' doublet of technifermions. The new feature of the model is that the the third…
Interacting quintessence models have been proposed to explain or, at least, alleviate the coincidence problem of late cosmic acceleration. In this paper we are concerned with two aspects of these kind of models: (i) the dynamical evolution…
The interplay of spectroscopy, scaling laws and critical indices is studied in strongly coupled quenched QED. Interpreted as a model of technicolor having strong interactions at short distances, we predict the techni-meson mass spectrum in…
This paper investigates chains of rotating boson stars (BSs) within Einstein gravity coupled to a complex scalar field. The model incorporates quartic or sextic self-interactions in the scalar Lagrangian, which support the existence of…
The ground-state behavior of the symmetric electron-electron and electron-hole bilayers is studied by including dynamic correlation effects within the quantum version of Singwi, Tosi, Land, and Sjolander (qSTLS) theory. The static…
Recently, Hill has proposed a model in which new, potentially low-energy, top-color interactions produce a top-condensate ({\em a la} Nambu---Jona-Lasinio) and accommodate a heavy top quark, while technicolor is responsible for producing…
A condensate, $\overline{t}t$, arising from $O(TeV)$ scale ``topcolor,'' in addition to technicolor (and ETC) may naturally explain the gauge hierarchy, the large top quark mass, and contains a rich system of testable consequences. A…
In this article we discuss the problem of the extreme fine-tuning necessary to achieve the top quark mass scale $m_t$ within the dynamical symmetry breaking of the phenomenological $t \bar t$ condensate model. Inspired by the vector-like…
A system composed of two-level systems interacting with a single excitation of a one-dimensional boson field with continuous spectrum, described by a Friedrichs (or Friedrichs-Lee) model, can exhibit bound states and resonances; the latter…
