The status of the theoretical uncertainties for LEP1 observables associated with the corresponding comparison among different codes is briefly reviewed.
These lectures present some basic facts in field theory necessary to understand the quantum theory of the Standard Model of weak and electromagnetic interactions.
The basics of the relativistic astrophysics including the celestial mechanics in weak field, black holes and cosmological models are illustrated and analyzed by means of Maple 6
In this article first we present a brief review of some alternative theories of cosmology. Then by referring to some of the main works done in these theories we show that how they can describe the phenomena which are explained nowadays in…
I discuss the basic elements of the process that will lead to the discovery of possible new phenomena at the LHC. We review the status of the tools available to model the Standard Model backgrounds, and the role that such tools can play in…
The framework of non-extensive statistical mechanics, proposed by Tsallis, has been used to describe a variety of systems. The non-extensive statistical mechanics is usually introduced in a formal way, thus simple models exhibiting some…
The Standard Model has been effective way beyond expectations in foreseeing the result of almost all the experimental tests done up so far. In it, neutrinos are massless. Nonetheless, in recent years we have collected solid proofs…
The formulation of QCD which contains no divergences and no renormalization procedure is presented. It contains both perturbative and non-perturbative phenomena. It is shown that, due to its asymptotically free nature, the theory is not…
We consider the minimal Standard Model as an effective low-energy description of an unspecified fundamental theory with spontaneously broken conformal symmetry. The effective theory exhibits classical scale invariance which manifest itself…
An overview on various results concerning the Dirac-Fock model, the various variational characterization of its solutions and its nonrelativistic limit. A notion of ground state for this totally unbounded is also defined.
We present a non-physical interpretation of the Cosmological Constant based on a particular algebraic analysis. This also introduces some novel algebraic structures, such as ``unital norms", ``uncurling metrics", and ``partial wedge…
If split supersymmetry can be advocated as a means to have gauge-coupling unification as well as dark matter, another plausible scenario is to enlarge judiciously the particle content of the Standard Model to achieve the same goals without…
Two exotic elements have been introduced into the standard cosmological model: non-baryonic dark matter and dark energy. The success in converting a hypothesis into a solid theory depends strongly on whether we are able to solve the…
Quantum field theory currently has a single standard mathematical characterization (the Standard Model), but no single accepted conceptual framework to interpret the mathematics. Many of these conceptualizations rely on intuitive concepts…
We give a brief overview and progress report on our lattice QCD calculation of neutral B mixing hadronic matrix elements needed for Standard Model and Beyond the Standard Model physics. Reference [1] contains more details and results.
This is an expository paper in which we explain how basic, standard, results about simple Lie algebras can be obtained by geometric arguments, following ideas of Cartan, Richardson and others.
We discuss and summarize some aspects concerning the study of the positronium system to probe new physics beyond the Standard Model.
We give a simple rigourous treatment of the classical results of the abelian sandpile model. Although we treat results which are well-known in the physics literature, in many cases we did not find complete proofs in the literature. The…
I review recent theoretical work on top-quark physics within the standard model, beyond the standard model, and at the Planck scale.
The status and perspectives of Standard Model Higgs searches are discussed.
