The standard model accommodates, but does not explain, three families of leptons and quarks, while various extensions suggest extra matter families. The oblique corrections from extra chiral families with relatively light (weak-scale)…
The three-dimensional complexified exteriour bundle $C \otimes \Lambda(R^3)$ is proposed as a geometric interpretation of electroweak doublets of Dirac fermions. The Dirac equation on this bundle allows a staggered discretization on a…
We consider the physics of an extra $U(1)$ gauge boson $Z'$, which can mix with $Z$ through intermediate fermion loops. The loop contribution due to the heavy top quark significantly affects the low-energy observables, and for $m_{Z'}>m_Z$,…
We discuss the direct measurement of the trilinear vector boson couplings in present and future collider experiments. The major goals of such experiments will be the confirmation of the Standard Model (SM) predictions and the search for…
We study collider signatures of electroweak baryogenesis in the two Higgs doublet model and the minimal supersymmetric standard model. It is found that the trilinear coupling of the lightest Higgs boson receives large quantum corrections if…
We make a change of variable in the standard model Higgs field by a fermion operator and show that the latter is responsible for the electroweak vacuum. By computing the vacuum expectation value of this fermion operator in the path integral…
We obtain the partial-wave unitarity constraints on dimension-six operators stemming from the analyses of vector boson and Higgs scattering processes as well as the inelastic scattering of standard model fermions into electroweak gauge…
A general calculational method is applied to investigate symmetry relations among divergent amplitudes in a free fermion model. A very traditional work on this subject is revisited. A systematic study of one, two and three point functions…
Lie pseudogroups are groups of transformations solutions of systems of ordinary (OD) or partial differential (PD) equations. The purpose of this paper is to present an elementary summary of a few recent results obtained through the…
We reevaluate the vacuum polarization functions for electroweak gauge bosons at three loops in QCD, employing state-of-the-art perturbative techniques. We apply these results to determine the ${\mathcal{O}}(\alpha \alpha_s^2)$ corrections…
We study the CP even trilinear neutral gauge boson vertices at one-loop in the context of the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, assuming two of the vector bosons are on-shell. We also study the changes in the…
We study the contributions of colorless vectorlike fermions to the triple gauge couplings $W^+ W^- \gamma$ and $W^+ W^- Z^0$. We consider models in which their coupling to the Standard Model Higgs boson is allowed or forbidden by quantum…
Within the framework of the Standard Model, the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is unstable to radiative corrections. We discuss two broad classes of models of new physics (one with a strongly interacting and the other with a…
We examine dimension-six extensions of the standard electroweak Lagrangian which are invariant under local \suu -transformations. The dimension-four trilinear and quadrilinear effective interactions of the vector bosons with one another are…
We review the available constraints on the low energy supersymmetry. The bulk of the electroweak data is well screened from supersymmetric loop effects, due to the structure of the theory, even with superpartners generically light, ${\cal…
We present general formulas for the oblique-correction parameters $S$, $T$, $U$, $V$, $W$, and $X$ in a model of New Physics having arbitrary numbers of scalar leptoquarks of the five permissible types. We allow for a general mixing among…
We present a geometric argument for the transformation properties of SU(5) --> S(U(3) x U(2)) monopoles under the residual gauge symmetry. This strongly supports the proposal that monopoles of the dual standard model interact via a gauge…
We present an effective Lagrangian parameterization describing scalar, vector, and axial-vector bound states, originating from a strong breaking of the electroweak symmetry, based on the global symmetry $SU(N)_L\otimes SU(N)_R$. In this…
The introduction of operator states and of observables in various fields of quantum physics has raised questions about the mathematical structures of the corresponding spaces. In the framework of third quantization it had been conjectured…
We study bosonization ambiguities in two dimensional quantum electrodynamics in the presence and in the absence of topologically charged gauge fields. The computation of fermionic correlation functions suggests that ambiguities may be…
