The results of high precision weak neutral current (WNC), Z-pole, and high energy collider electroweak experiments have been the primary prediction and test of electroweak unification. The electroweak program is briefly reviewed from a…
A new theory of edge waves over a slowly varying depth.
Recent progress in both the theoretical and experimental explorations of electroweak symmetry breaking is surveyed.
I present a concise review of where we stand in particle physics today. First, I will discuss QCD, then the electroweak sector and finally the motivations and the avenues for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
A fifth force, of technicolor type, responsible for breaking the electroweak theory is an intriguing extension of the Standard Model. Recently new theories have been shown to feature walking dynamics for a very low number of techniflavors…
Advances in gauge theories and unified theories have not thrown light on the meaning of electron. The problem of the origin of electronic charge is made precise, new insights gained from Weyl space are summarized, and the origin of charge…
We review some recent results on models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking involving extended technicolor.
The planned next generation of linear colliders (NLCs) will be able to probe the infrared structure of Standard Model electroweak interactions, that determines the behavior of electroweak radiative corrections at TeV scale energies. I…
This is an informal write up of my talk in Berlin. It gives some background to Goddard's talk (math.QA/9808136) about the moonshine conjectures.
The present text is an updated version of an earlier author's book on the electroweak theory (published originally in 2002, ISBN 80-246-0639-9). It reflects the ultimate completion of the standard model by the long-awaited discovery of the…
We reveal a new source of CP-violation in the electroweak sector that is free of any experimental bounds, and we highlight the possible implications for baryogenesis.
Electroweak unification is implied by the local structure theorem of distribution theory applied to the causal interval R=X-Z between two space-time points X and Z. Taking R as generating function, the potentials of the electromagnetic and…
In this chapter, we propose some future directions of work, potentially beneficial to Mathematics and its foundations, based on the recent import of methodology from the theory of programming languages into proof theory. This scientific…
We study the universality class and critical properties of the electroweak theory at finite temperature. Such critical behaviour is found near the endpoint m_H=m_{H,c} of the line of first order electroweak phase transitions in a wide class…
The experimental results published by KTeV and the preliminary results from NA48 concerning the slope of the Kpi scalar form factor suggest a significant discrepancy with the prediction of the Callan-Treiman low energy theorem once…
Talk given at the XLVIII Rencontres de Moriond, Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories, La Thuile, Italy, 2-9 March 2013, to appear in the Proceedings.
We make an attempt to describe the spectrum of masses of elementary particles, as it comes out empirically in six distinct scales. We argue for some rather well defined mass scales, like the electron mass: it seems to us that there is a…
I give an overview of the theory status of predictions for single W and Z boson production at hadron colliders. I briefly report on work in progress for improvements necessary to match the anticipated high precision of electroweak…
The indication from deep inelastic electron scattering experiments at SLAC that Bjorken scaling may really hold has motivated an extension of the hypotheses of current algebra to what may be called light-cone current algebra.
With the LHC up and running, the focus of experimental and theoretical high energy physics will soon turn to an interpretation of LHC data in terms of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking and the TeV scale. We present here a broad…
