There was a slight error in calculating the nonlinear sigma-model prediction for the 2-magnon scattering continuum shown in Fig. 2 of cond-mat/0010049, and Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 017202 (2001). Present erratum explains what was…
We study the decays of a scalar \stst\ bound state \sigst, where \st\ is the lighter stop eigenstate. If \st\ has no tree--level 2--body decays, the dominant decay modes of \sigst\ are $gg$ or, if $m_h < \mst \ll \mstt$, a pair of light…
The stability of a single Belavin-Polyakov (BP) skyrmion in isotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet is studied. Such skyrmion is higher in energy than the uniform ferromagnetic state and is thus metastable. Starting from the lattice model in two…
One loop corrections to the muon decay are studied in a popular and self-consistent version of the Left-Right symmetric model. It is shown quantitatively, that the corrections do not split into those that come from the Standard Model sector…
We study spin chains for superconformal quiver gauge theories in the moduli space of N=2 orbifolds. Independent of integrability, which is generally broken, we use the centrally extended SU(2|2) symmetry of the magnons to fix their…
We investigate the spontaneous disintegration of magnons in two-dimensional ferromagnets and antiferromagnets dominated by long-range dipolar interactions. Analyzing kinematic constraints, we show that the unusual dispersion of dipolar…
The dynamics of S=1/2 quantum spins on a 2D square lattice lie at the heart of the mystery of the cuprates \cite{Hayden2004,Vignolle2007,Li2010,LeTacon2011,Coldea2001,Headings2010,Braicovich2010}. In bulk cuprates such as \LCO{}, the…
We study a model of two weakly coupled isotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains with an antiferromagnetic coupling along the chains. It is shown that the system always has a spectral gap. For the case of identical chains the model in the…
The hidden symmetry of certain nano-magnets leads to many of the levels being doubly degenerate for periodic values of the Zeeman energy. Corresponding to such a symmetry is an operator, $K_{n}$, related to the time reversal operator, and…
We perform a detailed study of the decays of the heavier top and bottom squarks (stop_2 and sbottom_2) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We show that the decays into Higgs or gauge bosons can be dominant in a wide range…
QCD corrections to $b \to s \gamma$ decay in the two Higgs doublet model are calculated from the energy scale of top quark to that of bottom. The constraints on the two Higgs doublet model from the new experimental bounds of $b\to s\gamma$…
An infinite-$U$ term is introduced into the Holstein-Primakoff-transformed magnon hamiltonian of quantum Heisenberg magnetic models of spin $s$. This term removes the unphysical spin wave states on every site and truncates automatically the…
The spectrum of finite-difference two-magnon operator is investigated for quantum S=1/2 chain with variable range exchange of the form $h(j-k)\propto \sinh^{-2}a(j-k)$. It is found that usual bound state appears for some values of the total…
It is now well established that the Kitaev honeycomb model in a magnetic field along the $[111]$-direction harbors an intermediate gapless quantum spin liquid (QSL) phase sandwiched between a gapped non-abelian QSL at low fields $H< H_{c1}$…
The $\Delta S = 2$ transition $b \to s s \bar d$ is extremely small in the standard model, proceeding only via box diagrams. Such decays are thus an appropriate ground for searching new physics. We present a study of several two-body and…
We study dynamics and relaxation of elementary excitations (magnons) in the spin nematic (quadrupole ordered) phase of S=1 magnets. We develop a general phenomenological theory of spin dynamics and relaxation for spin-1 systems. Results of…
Quite a few low-dimensional magnets are quantum-disordered ``spin liquids'' with a characteristic gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum. Among these are antiferromagnetic chains of integer quantum spins. Their generic feature are…
