We calculate the divergent part of the one-loop effective action for $f(R)$ gravity on an arbitrary background manifold. Our result generalizes previous results for quantum corrections in $f(R)$ gravity, which have been limited to spaces of…
In contrast to the conventional treatment of gauge theories, in the background-field method the Ward identities for connected Green functions are not violated by Dyson summation of self-energies in finite orders of perturbation theory.…
The Einstein Equivalence Principle has as one of its implications that the non-gravitational laws of physics are those of special relativity in any local freely-falling frame. We consider possible tests of this hypothesis for systems whose…
We discuss the equivalence between light-front time-ordered-perturbation theory and covariant quantum field theory in light-front quantization, in the case of quantum electrodynamics at one-loop level. In particular, we review the one-loop…
Two decay channels $h\rightarrow \gamma \gamma, Z\gamma$ of the Standard Model-like Higgs in a left-right symmetry model are investigated under recent experimental data. We will show there exist one-loop contributions that affect the…
We compute the one-loop corrections to the tachyon potentials in both, bosonic and supersymmetric, cases by worldsheet methods. In the process, we also get some insight on tachyon condensation from the viewpoint of closed string modes and…
We calculate a full set of one-loop corrections to the Higgs boson coupling constants as well as the electroweak parameters. We compute the decay rate of the standard model (SM)-like Higgs boson ($h$) into diphoton. Renormalized Higgs…
We study the Higgs condensation $H={\bar t}t$ mechanism in the Top-mode Standard Model at the next-to-leading order in 1/Nc. The calculation includes the effects of the Goldstone fields, but not the effects of the transverse components of…
Any particle that is charged under $SU(3)_C$ and $U(1)_{EM}$ can mediate the $gg \rightarrow {\gamma}{\gamma}$ process through loops. Near the threshold for the new particle pair production, gauge boson exchanges necessitate the resummation…
By including the recently discovered Higgs-like scalar $\varphi$ in the Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian, and using the Equivalence Theorem, we carry out the complete one-loop computation of the elastic scattering amplitude for the…
The leading $m_H$ radiative correction to the Higgs decay width into a pair of weak vector bosons is calculated at the two--loop level, using the equivalence theorem in Landau gauge. The result indicates the breakdown of perturbation theory…
We consider possible tests of the Einstein Equivalence Principle for physical systems in which quantum-mechanical vacuum energies cannot be neglected. Specific tests include a search for the manifestation of non-metric effects in Lamb-shift…
We deal with extensions of the Standard Model by adding horizontal interactions between particle generations. We calculate two loop corrections caused by the presence of coupling between hypothetical horizontal gauge bosons and matter…
We show that the one-loop self-energy at finite temperature has a unique limit as the external momentum $p_\mu\rightarrow 0$ {\it if} the loop involves propagators with distinct masses. This naturally arises in theories involving particles…
Since the photon has no mass, it does not couple directly to the Higgs particle. This implies that the one-loop correction to the decay H --> \gamma\gamma\ is necessarily finite. Therefore, this correction should be calculable without…
A recently published report has called into question the validity of the equivalence theorem in dynamically broken gauge theories in which the fermions making up the symmetry breaking condensate lie in an anomalous representation of the…
We obtain the leading divergences at two-loop order for the decays $K_{S} \to \gamma \gamma$ and $K_{S} \to \gamma~\l^+ \l^-$ using only one-loop diagrams. We then find the double chiral logarithmic corrections to the decay branching ratio…
