We give an example of a purely bosonic model -- a rotor model on the 3D cubic lattice -- whose low energy excitations behave like massless U(1) gauge bosons and massless Dirac fermions. This model can be viewed as a ``quantum ether'': a…
We propose a model for the vector-like lepton to explain the small muon mass by a seesaw mechanism, based on lepton-specific two Higgs doublet models with a local $U(1)'$ symmetry. There is no bare muon mass for a nonzero $U(1)'$ charge of…
We argue that the free electron and positron can be considered as different, independent particles, each of which is characterized by the complete set of the Dirac plane waves. This completely symmetric representation of the particles makes…
The ultraviolet completion is the Standard Model (SM) gauge-symmetric four-fermion couplings at the high-energy cutoff. Composite particles appear in the gauge symmetric phase in contrast with SM particles in the spontaneous…
We investigate coordinate independent SO(9) vector states in SU(2) Matrix theory. There are 36 vector states, and we determine what representations of SU(2) they are decomposed into. Among them we find a unique set of states transforming in…
I consider models with non-universal gaugino masses at the gauge coupling unification scale, taking into account the Higgs boson discovery. Viable regions of parameter space are mapped and studied in the case of non-universality following…
In the symplectic Lagrangian framework we newly embed an irreducible massive vector-tensor theory into a gauge invariant system, which has become reducible, by extending the configuration space to include an additional pair of scalar and…
A coherent field over the entire universe is an attractive picture in studying the dark sector of the universe. The misalignment mechanism, which relies on inflation to achieve homogeneousness of the field, is a popular mechanism for…
We investigate the vector, axial and pseudo scalar mass spectrum of an SO(4) - MWT gauge theory with fermions in the vector representation of SO(4). Here we present the preliminary lattice results for the masses of vector and axial vector…
We present a model based on the gauge group SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R \times SU(4)_C with gauge couplings that are found to be unified at a scale near the string unification scale. This model breaks to the MSSM at an intermediate scale which is…
It is known that the recently reported shift of the W boson mass can be easily explained by an $SU(2)_L$ triplet Higgs boson with a zero hypercharge if it obtains a vacuum expectation value (VEV) of $O(1)$ GeV. Surprisingly, the addition of…
Using the formalism of noncommutative geometric gauge theory based on the superconnection concept, we construct a new type of vector gauge theory possessing a shift-like symmetry and the usual gauge symmetry. The new shift-like symmetry is…
Most of the analysis of composite Higgs have focussed on the Minimal Composite Higgs Model, based on the coset SO(5)$\times$U(1)$_X$/SO(4)$\times$U(1)$_X$. We consider a model based on the coset of simple groups SO(7)/SO(6), with…
Gauge bosons associated to new gauge symmetries under which the standard model particles are not charged are predicted in many extensions of the standard model of particles and interactions. We show that under very general conditions, the…
We look for minimal extensions of Standard Model with vector like fermions leading to precision unification of gauge couplings. Constraints from proton decay, Higgs stability and perturbativity are considered. The simplest models contain…
We present a generalized quasi-particle theory for bosonic lattice systems, which naturally contains all relevant collective modes, including the Higgs amplitude in the strongly correlated superfluid. In contrast to Bogoliubov theory, this…
We propose a simple renormalizable grand unified theory based on the $SU(5)$ gauge symmetry where the neutrino masses are generated at the quantum level through the Zee mechanism. In this model the same Higgs needed to correct the mass…
We study a supersymmetric extension of the vector-like lepton scenario, such that the vacuum instability induced by large lepton Yukawa couplings is lifted by the presence of superpartners at or below the TeV scale. In order to preserve the…
Recently it has been found that in a noncompact lattice regularization of the SU(2) gauge theory the physical volume is larger than in the Wilson theory with the same number of sites. In its original formulation the noncompact…
In this paper, we explore the possibility of constructing the quantum chromodynamics of a massive color-octet vector field without introducing higher structures like extended gauge symmetries, extra dimensions or scalar fields. We show that…
