We examine a $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)$ gauge model which has a parity symmetric Lagrangian. The parity symmetry has the novel feature that it interchanges the gluons with the $SU(3)_L$ gauge bosons (which contain the ordinary…
The operator manifold formalism (part I) enables the unification of the geometry and the field theory, and yields the quantization of geometry. This is the mathematical framework for our physical outlook that the geometry and fields, with…
We consider the Nelson model which describes a quantum system of nonrelativistic identical particles coupled to a possibly massless scalar Bose field through a Yukawa type interaction. We study the limiting behaviour of that model in a…
Strong electron correlations and interference effects are discussed in capacitively coupled side attached and embedded quantum dots. The finite - U mean field slave boson approach is used to study many-body effects. In the linear range the…
Majorana features of neutrinos and SO(3) gauge symmetry of three families enable us to construct a gauge model of neutrino for understanding naturally the observed smallness of neutrino masses and the nearly tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing…
The Interacting Boson Model of nuclear structure is introduced to the unitarity limit. Non relativistic conformal symmetry creates a scale invariant state from which the stationary states of atomic nuclei are obtained. A brief discussion of…
The Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model provides a solution to the hierarchy problem and leads to the presence of a light Higgs. A Higgs boson with mass above the present experimental bound may only be obtained for…
SO(10) grand unification accommodates intermediate gauge symmetries with which gauge coupling unification can be realized without supersymmetry. In this paper, we discuss the possibility that a new massive gauge boson associated with an…
In this contribution the symmetry properties of the interacting boson model of Arima and Iachello are reviewed. While the concept of a dynamical symmetry is by now a familiar one, this is not necessarily so for the extended notions of…
We exploit the rich algebraic structure of the interacting boson model to explain the notion of partial dynamical symmetry (PDS), and present a procedure for constructing Hamiltonians with this property. We demonstrate the relevance of PDS…
The Nelson model describes non-relativistic particles coupled to a relativistic Bose scalar field. In this article, we study the renormalized version of the Nelson model with massless bosons in Davies' weak coupling limit. Our main result…
The second part of this review is devoted to the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The properties of the neutral and charged Higgs bosons of the extended Higgs sector are summarized and their decay modes and…
A method of deriving the Hamiltonian of the interacting boson model, that is based on the microscopic framework of the nuclear energy density functional, is presented. The constrained self-consistent mean-field calculation with a given…
We have investigated the correlation functions of interacting bosons at the generic superfluid-insulator transition, a prototypical quantum phase transition, in two dimensions in the spherical limit. Unexpectedly the spatial correlation…
In these lectures I briefly review the Higgs mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking and focus on the most relevant aspects of the phenomenology of the Standard Model and of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model Higgs bosons at both…
In the present work we explore the possibilities of the formation of bound states of neutral pseudoscalar mesons $\eta, \eta^{'}, D^{0}$, $\bar{D^{0}}, B^{0}, \bar{B^{0}}$ and $\bar{K^{0}}$ and the vector meson $\phi$, with the nuclei…
We review recent results obtained in numerical studies of the nuclear shell model and the interacting boson model with random interactions, in particular the dominance of ground states with L=0 and the occurrence of vibrational and…
The gauge symmetry breaking in 3-3-1 models can be implemented dynamically because at the scale of a few TeVs the U(1)_X coupling constant becomes strong. The exotic quark T introduced in the model will form a condensate breaking SU(3)_L x…
Intersecting D-brane models seem to be one of the most promising avenues to embed the Standard Model physics within the string context. We review here different aspects of these models. Topics include the question of SUSY and quasi-SUSY in…
