We introduce a model of Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions with a semimetallic, a quantum spin-Hall insulating (QSHI), and an s-wave superconducting (SSC) phase. The phase diagram features a multicritical point at which all three phases meet…
We explore, by Monte Carlo and Mean Field methods, the five--dimensional SU(2) adjoint Higgs model. We allow for the possibility of different couplings along one direction, describing the so--called anisotropic model. This study is…
We start developing a formalism which allows to construct supersymmetric theories systematically across space-time signatures. Our construction uses a complex form of the supersymmetry algebra, which is obtained by doubling the spinor…
We introduce simple variables for describing the AdS$_5\times S^5$ superspace, i. e. $\frac{PSU(2,2|4)}{SO(4,1)\times SO(5)}$. The idea is to embed the coset superspace into a space described by variables which are in linear (ray)…
We construct an exactly sovable commuting projector Hamiltonian for (2+1)D bosonic topological insulator which is one of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases protected by U(1) and time-reversal $\mathbb{Z}_2^T$ symmetry, where the…
It is shown that embedding of flipped SU(5) in a five-dimensional SO(10) enables exact unification of the gauge coupling constants. The demand for the unification uniquely determines both the compactification scale and the cutoff scale.…
We construct a minimal example of a supersymmetric grand unified model in a toroidal compactification of type I string theory with magnetized D9-branes. All geometric moduli are stabilized in terms of the background internal magnetic fluxes…
We present the supersymmetric $SU(5)$ models which provide a simple ``all order'' solution to the doublet-triplet splitting problem through the missing doublet mechanism. The crucial role is played by the anomalous $U(1)_A$ gauge symmetry…
We consider the Pseudo-Gap (PG) state of high-$T_c$ superconductors in form of a composite order parameter fluctuating between 2$p_F$-charge ordering and superconducting (SC) pairing. In the limit of linear dispersion and at the hotspots,…
In the conventional formulation of N=1 supersymmetry, a vector multiplet is supposed to be in the adjoint representation of a given gauge group. We present a new formulation with a vector multiplet in the non-adjoint representation of SO(N)…
We consider the methods by which higher-level and non-simply laced gauge symmetries can be realized in free-field heterotic string theory. We show that all such realizations have a common underlying feature, namely a dimensional truncation…
We consider 4-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric SO(10) models inspired by deconstruction of 5-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric orbifold SO(10) models and high dimensional non-supersymmetric SO(10) models with Wilson line gauge symmetry breaking.…
The significant heavy threshold effect is found in the supersymmetric SU(5) model with two adjoint scalars, one of which is interpreted as a massive string mode decoupled from the lower-energy particle spectra. This threshold related with…
SO(3), SO(5), and SO(6)-models are singular elliptic fibrations with Mordell--Weil torsion Z/2Z and singular fibers whose dual fibers correspond to affine Dynkin diagrams of type A1, C2, and A3 respectively, where we emphasize the…
Five-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ theories with gauge group $U(N)$, $SU(N)$, $USp(2N)$ and $SO(N)$ are studied at large rank through localization on a large sphere. The phase diagram of theories with fundamental hypermultiplets is universal…
Different realizations of the Hubbard operators in different Hilbert spaces give rise to various microscopic lattice electron models driven by strong correlations. In terms of the Gutzwiller projected operators, the most familiar examples…
Recently, an attractive model of GUT breaking has been proposed in which a 5 dimensional supersymmetric SU(5) gauge theory on an S^1/(Z_2\times Z_2') orbifold is broken down to the 4d MSSM by SU(5)-violating boundary conditions. Motivated…
The deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) is an example of phase transitions beyond the Landau symmetry breaking paradigm that attracts wide interest. However, its nature has not been settled after decades of study. In this paper, we…
We give an explicit algebraic description of finite Lorentz transformations of vectors in 10-dimensional Minkowski space by means of a parameterization in terms of the octonions. The possible utility of these results for superstring theory…
A program of wide interest in modern conformal bootstrap studies is to numerically solve general conformal field theories, based on a critical assumption that the dynamics is encoded in the conformal four-point crossing equations and…
