We have recently proposed a setup of the "Domain-Wall Standard Model" in a non-compact 5-dimensional space-time, where all the Standard Model (SM) fields are localized in certain domains of the 5th dimension. While the SM is realized as a…
I review the lattice formulations of vector-like gauge theories (e.g. QCD) with domain-wall/overlap fermions, and discuss how to optimize the chiral symmetry for any finite $ N_s $ (sites in the fifth dimension). In this formulation, quark…
We examine domain wall solutions of N=1, D=4 supergravity which preserve half of the supersymmetry and arise from Euclidean M2-brane instantons on M5-branes wrapping associative 3-cycles of G_2 holonomy manifolds. We also investigate…
We consider a periodic system of domains coupled by small windows. In such domain we study the band spectrum of a Schroedinger operator subject to Neumann condition. We show that near each isolated eigenvalue of the similar operator but in…
We study the cosmology of a string derived supersymmetric flipped $SU(5)$ model in the context of free-fermionic heterotic constructions that allow full calculability of the effective supergravity in perturbation theory around the fermionic…
We investigate the scattering of fermions off walls in the presence of a magnetic field. We consider both the bubble wall and the kink domain wall. By solving the Dirac equation for fermions in the presence of a domain wall in an external…
Quadratic band touching in fermionic systems defines a universality class distinct from that of linear Dirac points, yet its characterization as a quantum critical point remains incomplete. In this work, I show that a $(d+1)$-dimensional…
We give a simple model to explain the origin of fermion families, and chirality through the use of a domain wall placed in a five dimensional space-time.
The inverse of the fermion matrix squared is used to define a transfer matrix for domain-wall fermions. When the domain-wall height $M$ is bigger than one, the transfer matrix is complex. Slowly suppressed chiral symmetry violations may…
We present results from a numerical study of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory using domain wall fermions. In this particular lattice formulation of the theory, supersymmetry is expected to emerge accidentally in the continuum and chiral…
We study maximal supergravity in two dimensions, obtained from reduction of IIA supergravity on an $S^8$ sphere. The theory captures the low-lying fluctuations around the non-conformal D0-brane near-horizon geometry, dual to operators in…
We investigate a spectrum of a fermion, which we call a quark, above the critical temperature of the chiral phase transition in a gauge theory using the Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation. The SD equation enables us to study the spectrum over a…
Free fermions form a Fermi surface, which results in non-zero spectral weight at low energy and finite wavevector. In this work, we find similar features in holographic phases dual to strongly coupled quantum superfluid matter. At zero…
We construct systematic expansions around four and two spatial dimensions for a Fermi gas near the unitarity limit. Near four spatial dimensions such a Fermi gas can be understood as a weakly interacting system of fermionic and bosonic…
We study the spectrum of fermions hopping on a chain with a weak incommensuration close to dimerization; both q, the deviation of the wave number from pi, and delta, the strength of the incommensuration, are small. For free fermions, we use…
The electrical resistance of a diffusive ferromagnet with magnetic domain walls is studied theoretically, taking into account the spatial dependence of the magnetization. The semiclassical domain wall resistance is found to be either…
The electronic quasiparticle spectrum of a ferromagnetic film is investigated within the framework of the s-f model. Starting from the exact solvable case of a single electron in an otherwise empty conduction band being exchange coupled to…
We describe the dynamics of a single fermion in a dispersionless band coupled to the 2+1 dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) describing the quantum phase transition of a bosonic order parameter with N components. The fermionic spectral…
We solve the fermionic zero modes in gravity and gauge backgrounds on a brane involving a warped geometry, and study the localization of spin 1/2 fermionic field on the brane world. The result is that there exist massless spin 1/2 fermions…
