The BPS spectrum of string theory on AdS$_3\times {\rm S}^3 \times {\rm S}^3 \times {\rm S}^1$ is determined using a world-sheet description in terms of WZW models. It is found that the theory only has BPS states with $j^+ = j^-$ where…
An extension of the two Higgs doublet model including inverse seesaw neutrinos and neutral Higgs bosons was constructed based on the $A_4$ symmetry in order to explain the recent neutrino oscillation data. This model can distinguish two…
We construct $ 1/2 $ BPS 1-instanton states in the Hilbert space of $ 5d $ gauge theories. The states are local with the scale size $ \rho=0 $. With the degeneracy from the gauge orientation taken into account, the BPS spectrum consists of…
We describe the fate of the Type I non-BPS D7-brane, which is tachyonic but carries a non-trivial K-theory $\IZ_2$ charge. It decays to topologically non-trivial gauge field configurations on the background D9-branes. In the uncompactified…
It has been argued that the Nekrasov's partition function gives the generating function of refined BPS state counting in the compactification of M theory on local Calabi-Yau spaces. We show that a refined version of the topological vertex…
We propose generating functions which encode the degeneracies and wall-crossing phenomena of $\mathcal{N}=2$ BPS structures. The generating functions have a representation-theoretic origin and are the analogs of the 1/4-BPS dyon counting…
We give explicitly the reduction of supersymmetries of the positive energy unitary irreducible representations of the N-extended D=4 conformal superalgebras su(2,2/N). Further we give the classification of BPS and possibly protected states.
In the framework of the Standard Model we present predictions for partial widths, double and single differential distributions, and forward--backward lepton asymmetries for four-leptonic decays $B^- \to \mu^+\mu^- {\bar \nu}_e\, e^-$, $B^-…
We construct BPS states in the matrix description of M-theory. Starting from a set of basic M-theory branes, we study pair intersections which preserve supersymmetry. The fractions of the maximal supersymmetry obtained in this way are 1/2,…
For the hypergeometric spectral curve and its confluent degenerations (spectral curves of "hypergeometric type"), we obtain a simple formula expressing the topological recursion free energies as a sum over BPS states (degenerate spectral…
We study the quantum degeneracies of BPS black holes of octonionic magical supergravity in five dimensions that is defined by the exceptional Jordan algebra. We define the quantum degeneracy purely number theoretically as the number of…
We review some simple group theoretical properties of BPS states, in relation with the singular homology of level surfaces. Primary focus is on classical and quantum N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, though the considerations can be…
BPS invariants are computed, capturing topological invariants of moduli spaces of semi-stable sheaves on rational surfaces. For a suitable stability condition, it is proposed that the generating function of BPS invariants of a Hirzebruch…
A new experimental technique to study the decays of $B^0_s$ mesons into final states involving unreconstructable particles is proposed. The method uses a characteristic feature of fast flavour oscillations of $B^0_s$ mesons. Analysis of the…
We construct a parametrization of the lepton energy spectrum in inclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons, based on the available experimental information: moments of the spectrum with cuts, their errors and their correlations, together…
We use the exact degeneracy formula of single-centred $\frac14$ BPS dyonic black holes with unit torsion in 4D $N=4$ toroidally compactified heterotic string theory to improve on the existing formulation of the corresponding quantum entropy…
A Gaussian wave function is used for detailed study of mass spectra of the $B$ and $B_S$ mesons using a Cornell potential incorporated with a $\mathcal{O}(1/m)$ correction in the potential energy term and expansion of the kinetic energy…
BPS spectra give important insights into the non-perturbative regimes of supersymmetric theories. Often from the study of BPS states one can infer properties of the geometrical or algebraic structures underlying such theories. In this paper…
We revisit non-marginal half-BPS solutions of M-theory in the framework of the possible existence of an underlying E11 Kac-Moody symmetry. In this context, non-marginal BPS solutions of M-theory can be described as exact solutions of the…
We investigate the lepton flavor violation in the framework of the MSSM with right-handed neutrinos taking the large mixing angle MSW solution in the quasi-degenerate and the inverse-hierarchical neutrino masses. We predict the branching…
