This talk is a sneak preview of the project, 'proof theory for theories of ordinals'. Background, aims, survey and furture works on the project are given. Subsystems of second order arithmetic are embedded in recursively large ordinals and…
I compare the anticipated properties of the top quark with what is known experimentally about the heaviest fermion. I review the scientific opportunities that will be presented in the near future by copious samples of top. These include…
Qualitative properties of a second order elliptic equation from the anisotropic elasticity are investigated. Some explicit solutions for a disk are presented. Behaviour of these solutions in dependence of coefficients is investigated. The…
We propose a three-fold covering of the group ${U}(2)$ as a gauge group for the electroweak interactions for the purpose of describing fields with integer and fractional electric charges with respect to the residual electromagnetic gauge…
We consider a classically scale-invariant extension of the standard model in which a dark, non-Abelian gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. Higgs portal couplings between the dark and standard model…
We outline two approaches for studying the electroweak phase transition in the framework of the four-dimensional SU(2) Higgs model on a lattice. The first one is based on a combination of variational estimates for the free energy and a…
We present a simple method for considering radiative corrections. Precision data are well described by an adequate Born approximation and only the first evidence for deviations from the tree level formulas and the presence of the loop…
This talk is a write-up on some origins of abstract convexity and afew vexing limitations on the range of abstraction in convexity.
I discuss simple extensions of the Standard Model scalar sector that can help solve the origin of matter problem and that can be probed in their cosmologically relevant parameter space at the LHC.
In this thesis properties and the origin of black hole entropy are investigated from various points of view. First, laws of black hole thermodynamics are reviewed. In particular, the first and generalized second laws are investigated in…
Theoretical uncertainties affecting electroweak observables are reviewed and the relevance of two-loop electroweak radiative corrections for the precision tests of the Standard Model is discussed.
We discuss several results in electrostatics: Onsager's inequality, an extension of Earnshaw's theorem, and a result stemming from the celebrated conjecture of Maxwell on the number of points of electrostatic equilibrium. Whenever possible,…
We study little string theory in a weak coupling limit defined in \gk.
Experiment shows that the top quark is far heavier than the other elementary fermions. This finding has stimulated research on theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking that include physics beyond the standard model. Efforts to…
A short review of a few selected topics in Heavy Quark Effective Theory is given. Applications to exclusive decays are discussed.
We investigate a scalar potential inspired by the unparticle sector for the electroweak symmetry breaking. The scalar potential contains the interaction between the standard model fields and unparticle sector. It is described by the…
The low and higher energy limits of the Electroweak Model are obtained from first principles of gauge theory. Both limits are given by the same contraction of the gauge group, but for the different consistent rescalings of the field space.…
Based on recent $W$-mass measurements, the electroweak theory is tested at non-trivial quantum correction level, i.e., beyond the Born approximation with $\alpha(M_Z)$ instead of $\alpha$. We can conclude that some non-Born type corrections…
We analyse descriptions of electroweak symmetry breaking in terms of ultralocal antisymmetric tensor fields and gauge-singlet geometric variables, respectively; in particular, the Weinberg--Salam model and, ultimately, dynamical electroweak…
