Solitons are localised wave disturbances that propagate without changing shape, a result of a nonlinear interaction which compensates for wave packet dispersion. Individual solitons may collide, but a defining feature is that they pass…
In this paper, we investigate collision orbits of two identical bodies placed on the surface of a two-dimensional sphere and interacting via an attracting potential of the form $V(q)=-\cot(q)$, where $q$ is the angle formed by the position…
In the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), it is possible to have strong mass degeneracies between the new singlet-like scalar and the heavy doublet-like scalar, as well as between the singlet-like and doublet-like…
Q-balls are a possible feature of any model with a conserved, global U(1) symmetry and no massless, charged scalars. It is shown that for a broad class of models of metastable supersymmetry breaking they are extremely influential on the…
We address the problem that the cross section for the collisions of unstable particles diverges, if calculated by standard methods. This problem is considered for beams much smaller than the decay length of the unstable particle, much…

Supersymmetry is an algebraic property of a quantum Hamiltonian that, by giving every boson a fermionic superpartner and vice versa, may underpin physics beyond the Standard Model. Fractional bosonic and fermionic quasiparticles are…

We propose a practical method for analyzing stability of Q-balls for the whole parameter space, which includes the intermediate region between the thin-wall limit and thick-wall limit as well as Q-bubbles (Q-balls in false vacuum), using…
In this work, we show that collisions of one type of nonlinear wave can lead to generation of a different kind of nonlinear wave. Specifically, we demonstrate the formation of topological solitons (or transition waves) via collisions of…
We construct a three-parameter family of non-extremal microstate geometries, or "microstrata," that are dual to states and deformations of the D1-D5 CFT. These families are non-extremal analogues of superstrata. We find these microstrata by…
Search for supersymmetry is carried out in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Using the software programs SOFTSUSY and PROSPINO, the mass spectrum and the production cross-sections of superpartners are…
We perform fully non-linear numerical simulations of charged-black-hole collisions, described by the Einstein-Maxwell equations, and contrast the results against analytic expectations. We focus on head-on collisions of non-spinning black…
