The exact solution of the boson pairing hamiltonian given by Richardson in the sixties is used to study the phenomena of level crossings and quantum phase transitions in the integrable regions of the sd and sdg interacting boson models.
We develop a theory of non-relativistic bosons in two spatial dimensions with a weak short range attractive interaction. In the limit as the range of the interaction becomes small, there is an ultra-violet divergence in the problem. We…
We consider the scattering amplitudes of the form V_1 V_2 -> V_3 V_4, where V_i=\gamma, Z, W or g(=gluon) are the Standard Model gauge bosons, due to graviton exchange in Kaluza-Klein theories with large extra dimensions. This leads to a…
A linear realization of a model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking describing additional heavy vector bosons is proposed. The model is a SU(2)_L x U(1) x SU(2)_L' x SU(2)_R' gauge theory, breaking at some high scale u to SU(2)_weak…
The present lectures contain an introduction to low energy supersymmetry, a new symmetry that relates bosons and fermions, in particle physics. The Standard Model of fundamental interactions is briefly reviewed, and the motivation to…
We investigate the exact nature of the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator crossover for interacting bosons on an optical lattice in a one-dimensional, harmonic trap by high-precision density-matrix renormalization-group calculations. The results…
Our main concern in this work is to show how higher shell admixtures affect the spectrum of a Q.Q interaction. We first review how, in the valence space, the familiar SU(3) result for the energy spectrum can be obtained using a coordinate…
In this paper, we explore supersymmetric and 2d analogs of the SYK model. We begin by working out a basis of (super)conformal eigenfunctions appropriate for expanding a four-point function. We use this to clarify some details of the 1d…
An ab initio calculation of nuclear physics from Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental SU(3) gauge theory of the strong interaction, remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we discuss the emergence of key elements of nuclear physics…
The study of gauge bosons is interesting in two respects. The properties of gauge bosons are modified by higher order effects that are sensitive to mass scales not directly accessible to experiment. On the other hand interactions amongst…
The interrelation between the octupole phonon and the low-lying proton-neutron mixed-symmetry quadrupole phonon in near-spherical nuclei is investigated. The one-phonon states decay by collective E3 and E2 transitions to the ground state…
The boson star filled with two interacting scalar fields is investigated. The scalar fields can be considered as a gauge condensate formed by SU(3) gauge field quantized in a non-perturbative manner. The corresponding solution is regular…

Quantum Algebras (q-algebras) are used to describe interactions between fermions and bosons. Particularly, the concept of a su_q(2) dynamical symmetry is invoked in order to reproduce the ground state properties of systems of fermions and…
New results on baryon structure and spectrum developed in collaboration with Dan Riska [1-4] are reported. The main idea is that beyond the chiral symmetry spontaneous breaking scale light and strange baryons should be considered as systems…
We consider the emission or absorption of $n$ identical bosons from an energetic or a massive particle, in which the bosons and the source particle are allowed to be offshell. The Bose-Einstein symmetrized amplitude can be decomposed into…
A realization of the approximation of the SU(3) leading representation with the microscopic Hamiltonian and a nucleon-nucleon interaction is presented in detail. An effective Hamiltonian reproducing results of calculations with some known…
We analyze an extension of the Standard Model with an additional SU(2) hypercolor gauge group keeping the Higgs boson as a fundamental field. Vectorlike interactions of new hyperquarks with the intermediate vector bosons are explicitly…
We consider $SU(3)_{C}\times SU(2)_{AL}\times SU(2)_{BL}\times U(1)_{Y}$ as the low-energy subgroup of supersymmetric $SU(3)^{6}$ unification. This may imply small deviations from quark-lepton universality at the TeV scale, as allowed by…
