We present a factorization theorem of the partonic Drell-Yan off-diagonal processes $g\bar{q}\,(qg) \to \gamma^* + X$ in the kinematic threshold regime $z=Q^2/\hat{s} \to 1$ at general subleading powers in the $(1-z)$ expansion. Focusing on…
Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) carry information on the internal structure of hadrons such as the angular momentum of quarks and gluons, or their spacelike distribution. They can be experimentally studied in exclusive experiments…
Splitting functions are universal functions describing the collinear dynamics of gauge theories, and as such are crucial ingredients for a wide variety of calculations in perturbative QCD. We present analytic results for the triple…
The conditions obtained by Salam for a general gauge theory to be renormalizable are derived. They require that in a gauge invariant formalism the bare boson mass associated with the massive non-Abelian vector field is zero. A solution to…
We consider electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric models with an extra non-anomalous U(1)' gauge symmetry and an extra standard-model singlet scalar S. For appropriate charges the U(1)' forbids an elementary mu term, but an…
The study of factorization in linearized gravity is extended to the graviton scattering processes with an electron for the massive vector boson productions such as $g e \rightarrow Z e$ and $g e \rightarrow W \nu_e$. It is shown that every…
Electroweak radiative corrections to the production of high-multiplicity final states with several intermediate resonances in most cases can be sufficiently well described by the leading contribution of an expansion about the resonance…
Measuring the scattering of longitudinally-polarized vector bosons represents a fundamental test of ElectroWeak Symmetry Breaking. In addition to the challenges provided by low rates and large backgrounds, there are conceptual issues which…
We consider the Standard Model as an effective theory at the weak scale $v$ of a generic new strong interaction that dynamically breaks electroweak symmetry at the energy scale $\Lambda\sim $ (few) TeV. Assuming only the minimal field…
We derive logarithmically enhanced two-loop virtual electroweak corrections for arbitrary fermion-scattering processes at the TeV scale. This extends results previously obtained for massless fermion scattering to processes that involve also…
We develop a new theoretical framework for describing and analyzing exotic phases of strongly correlated electrons which support excitations with fractional quantum numbers. Starting with a class of microscopic models believed to capture…
In future collider experiments at the TeV scale, large logarithmic corrections originating from massive boson exchange can lead to significant corrections to observable cross sections. Recently double logarithms of the Sudakov-type were…
We outline a proof of factorization in exclusive processes, taking into account the presence of soft and collinear modes of arbitrarily low energy, which arise when the external lines of the process are taken on shell. Specifically, we…
A simple translation between a standard representation of $\mathfrak{sl}_2\mathbb{C}$ and the complex-quaternions ($\mathbb{H}\otimes_\mathbb{R}\mathbb{C}$) is established and exploited to construct a novel hyper-complex description of the…
An electroweak model is formulated in a finite, four-dimensional quantum field theory without a Higgs particle. The W and Z masses are induced from the electroweak symmetry breaking of one-loop vacuum polarization graphs. The theory…
We consider the singular behaviour of QCD scattering amplitudes in kinematical configurations where two or more momenta of the external partons become collinear. At the tree level, this behaviour is known to be controlled by factorization…
