Developments in precision electroweak physics in the two years since the symposium are briefly summarized.
We investigate deformations of the Kerr-(A)dS near horizon geometry and derive partial infinitesimal rigidity results for it. The proof comprises two parts. First, we follow the analysis of Jezierski and Kami\'nski [Gen Rel Grav 45 (2013)…
We study Standard Model electroweak radiative corrections for fully inclusive observables with polarized fermionic beams. Our calculations are relevant in view of the possibility for Next Generation Linear colliders of having transversely…
Several sets of radially propagating null congruence generators are exploited in order to form 3-dimensional marginally trapped surfaces, referred to as black hole and cosmological apparent horizons in a Horava universe. Based on this…
We present a simple proof of the non-existence of degenerate components of the event horizon in static, vacuum, regular, four-dimensional black hole spacetimes. We discuss the generalisation to higher dimensions and the inclusion of a…
Precise electroweak results from LEP2 are reviewed.
The Born approximation, based on $\bar\alpha \equiv\alpha (m_Z)$ instead of $\alpha$, reproduces all electroweak precision measurements within their $(1\sigma)$ accuracy. The low upper limits for the genuinely electroweak corrections…
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…
It is addressed the issue of black holes with nonlinear electromagnetic field, focussing mainly in the Born-Infeld case. The main features of these systems are described, for instance, geodesics, energy conditions, thermodynamics and…
The possibility of creating baryon asymmetry at the electroweak phase transition in the minimal supersymmetric standard model is considered for the case when right-handed squarks are much lighter than left-handed ones. It is shown that the…
We derive and critically examine the consequences that follow from the formation of a regular black or white hole horizon in finite time of a distant observer. In spherical symmetry, only two distinct classes of solutions to the…
We first show that the intrinsic, geometrical structure of a dynamical horizon is unique. A number of physically interesting constraints are then established on the location of trapped and marginally trapped surfaces in the vicinity of any…
We report the results of the global electroweak fit, with emphasis on the most recent results which served as input of the fit. The output of the fit sets also limits on the Standard Model Higgs mass.
We show that a stationary asymptotically flat electro-vacuum solution of Einstein's equations that is everywhere locally "almost isometric" to a Kerr-Newman solution cannot admit more than one event horizon. Axial symmetry is not assumed.…
The paper addresses an existence problem for infinite horizon optimal control when the system under control is exponentially stabilizable or stable. Classes of nonlinear control systems for which infinite horizon optimal controls exist are…
This is a review of my work published in the papers [1-4]. It offers a more detailed discussion of the results than what was given in the published papers and it links my results to some conclusions recently made by other people. It also…
A detailed description of how black holes grow in full, non-linear general relativity is presented. The starting point is the notion of dynamical horizons. Expressions of fluxes of energy and angular momentum carried by gravitational waves…
I review the status of the ElectroWeak Symmetry Breaking problem. The lectures are naturally divided into two parts. The first is mostly devoted to overview the impact of current data on the issue of EWSB. The tools are known, the latest…
We propose a new minimal supersymmetric scenario with virtually no fine-tuning in the electroweak symmetry breaking. It favors light supersymmetric spectrum below a few TeV and predicts definite relations among stop and gaugino masses and…
We study a risk-averse optimal control problem for a finite-horizon Borel model, where a cumulative cost is assessed via exponential utility. The setting permits non-linear dynamics, non-quadratic costs, and continuous state and control…
