We discuss two independent issues about the baryon asymmetry of the universe. First, assuming that it is generated by an unspecified source at high temperatures, we study the effects of non-perturbative $SU(2)_W$ dynamics above the…
We present a novel mechanism for generating gauge-invariant fermion masses through global anomalies at the three loop level. In a gauge theory, global anomalies are triggered by the possible existence of scalar or pseudoscalar states and…
We propose a minimal model based on lepton number symmetry (and violation), to address a common origin of baryon asymmetry, dark matter and neutrino mass generation. The model consists of a vector like fermion to constitute the dark sector,…
We present the anomalous cross section for baryon number violation in the standard model from the perturbation of large-order behavior of forward scattering amplitudes to the order $\left(\epsilon /n\right)^{8/3} \ln\left(\epsilon…
A Lorentz violating modification of massless QED is proposed, with higher order space derivatives for the photon field. The fermion dynamical mass generation is studied with the Schwinger-Dyson approach. Perturbative properties of the model…
Recently a new dynamical symmetry breaking model of electroweak interactions was proposed based on interacting fermions. Two fermions of different SU(2) representations form a symmetry breaking condensate and generate the lepton and quark…
In this paper, we consider the class of extra-dimensional models with two branes and show that each field of the Standard Model must be localized on both neighboring branes, whose asymmetry is of great importance. The discussion is…
We consider the resonant production of fermions from an oscillating axial background. The classical evolution of the axial field is given by that of a massive pseudovector field, as suggested by the renormalizability of the theory. We look…
We show that instantons violate a supersymmetric identity in a classically supersymmetric Higgs model with no massless fermions. This anomalous breaking arises because the correct perturbative expansion in the instanton sector is not…
We consider fermions on an extra dimensional interval. We find the boundary conditions at the ends of the interval that are consistent with the variational principle, and explain which ones arise in various physical circumstances. We apply…
The paper proposes an alternative scenario for the emergence of baryon asymmetry in the Universe. This scenario is realized in the lattice gravity model associated with the Dirac field as follows. At ultra-high temperatures of the Grand…
The bound states of fermions in the external field of an Abelian dyon are studied here both analytically and numerically. Their existence is due to the dyon's electric charge resulting from a polarization of the fermionic vacuum. The…
We explore the possibility that lepton family numbers and baryon number are such good symmetries of Nature because they are the global remnant of a spontaneously broken gauge symmetry. An almost arbitrary linear combination of these…
We argue that all fermionic states characterized by the (four) velocity not momentum of the fermion are always occupied by a single fermion. So there is no fermion number violation whatsoever. The mass of an elementary particle is not…
This work deals with the behavior of fermions in the background of kinklike structures in the two-dimensional spacetime. The kinklike structures appear from bosonic scalar field models that engender distinct profiles and interact with the…
We examine the question of how baryogenesis can occur in lattice models of the Standard Model where there is a global $U(1)$ symmetry which is accompanied by an exactly conserved fermion number. We demonstrate that fermion creation and…
In this article, we discuss the mechanism for generating the lepton/baryon number and its subsequent conservation based on extradimensional evolution. The internal angular momentum of extra space is related to the lepton/baryon charge.…
We argue that simpler fermionic contents, responsible for the extension of the standard model with gauged lepton and baryon charges, can be constructed by assuming existence of so-called leptoquarks (j,k) with exotic electric charges…
The existence of baryon asymmetry and dark matter in the Universe may be related to CP-violating reactions of three heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) with masses well below the Fermi scale. The dynamical description of the lepton asymmetry…
The beyond-the-standard-model scenario in this work is motivated from the observations of neutrino masses, anomalous magnetic moments of electron and muon, and dark matter in the Universe. We explain these observations by extending the…
