In the heavy quark limit, we discuss the spin of the charm-anticharm pair $J_{c\bar{c}}$ in an S-wave meson-antimeson molecule or resonance. One finds two cases that $J_{c\bar{c}}$ cannot be 0: (a) $J=|j_2-j_4|-1$ or $J=j_2+j_4+1$ where $J$…

We study SU(N) fermions in the limit of infinite on-site repulsion between all species. We focus on states in which every pair of consecutive fermions carries a different spin flavor. Since the particle order cannot be changed (because of…

We explore a generalization of nonrelativistic fermionic statistics that interpolates between bosons and fermions, in which up to $K$ particles may occupy a single-particle state. We show that it can be mapped exactly to $K$ flavors of…
I discuss low energy aspects of heavy meson decays, where there is at least one heavy meson in the final state. Examples are $B -\bar{B}$ mixing, $B \to D \bar{D}$, $B \to D \eta'$, and $B \to D \gamma$. %and $B \to D W $ (Isgur-Wise…

We evaluate exclusive semileptonic decays of ground-state spin-1/2 doubly heavy charmed baryons. The decays are driven by a $c\to s,d$ transition at the quark level. Our form factors are consistent with Heavy Quark Symmetry constraints. The…
Top decays into a light Higgs boson and an up or charm quark can reach detectable levels in Standard Model extensions with two Higgs doublets or with new exotic quarks, and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Using both a standard…
The decays of top quark $t\rightarrow c\gamma,\;t\rightarrow cg,\;t\rightarrow cZ,\;t\rightarrow ch$ are extremely rare processes in the standard model (SM). The predictions on the corresponding branching ratios in the SM are too small to…
We study two-color QCD with two flavors of Wilson fermion as a function of quark chemical potential mu and temperature T. We find evidence of a superfluid phase at intermediate mu and low T where the quark number density and diquark…
Neutral $B$ meson mixing matrix elements and $B$ meson decay constants are calculated. Static approximation is used for $b$ quark and domain-wall fermion formalism is employed for light quarks. The calculations are carried out on $2+1$…
Rare $B$ meson decays offer an opportunity to probe a light hidden $Z'$ boson. In this work we explore a new channel $B_q \to \gamma Z'$ ($q = d, s$) followed by a cascade decay of $Z'$ into an invisible (neutrino or dark matter) or charged…
