We introduce a broad class of simple models for quantum Hall states based on the expansion of their parent Hamiltonians near the one-dimensional limit of "thin cylinders", i.e. when one dimension $L_y$ of the Hall surface becomes comparable…
Many extensions to the Standard Model predict gauge interactions with enhanced couplings to third generation quarks, especially the extremely heavy top quark\cite{theoretical}. These phenomena can lead to resonances in the production of…

We bound the coupling of pseudo-scalar particles to Tr G^G_{QCD} using (the lack of) monojet plus missing E_T events at the Tevatron, and estimate the bounds obtainable from LHC. In addition, we revisit the bounds on the coupling to…
The "true muonium" (mu^+ mu-) and "true tauonium" (tau^+ tau^-) bound states are not only the heaviest, but also the most compact pure QED systems. The rapid weak decay of the tau makes the observation of true tauonium difficult. However,…

Naturalness demands that the quadratic divergence of the one-loop top contribution to the Higgs mass be cancelled at a scale below 1 TeV. This can be achieved by introducing a fermionic (spin-1/2) top partner, as in, for example, Little…
The minimum supersymmetric standard model with bilinear R-parity violation is studied systematically. Considering low-energy supersymmetry, we examine the structure of the bilinear R-parity violating model carefully. We analyze the mixing…
