We present the calculation of next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to W-boson pair production at the LHC, taking off-shell effects of the W bosons and their leptonic decays into account in the framework of the so-called double-pole…
We consider non-perturbative effects in theories with extra dimensions and the deconstructed versions of these theories. We establish the rules for instanton calculations in 5D theories on the circle, and use them for an explicit…
We evaluate a number of new instanton-induced phenomena in QCD, starting with static dipole-dipole potentials, and proceeding to quark-quark and dipole-dipole scattering at high energy. We use a non-perturbative formulation of the…
We calculate the full one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the cross section of single W-boson inclusive hadroproduction at finite transverse momentum (p_T). This includes the O(alpha) corrections to W+j production, the O(alpha_s)…
We show how to use a worldline-instanton formalism to calculate, to leading order in the weak-field expansion, the momentum spectrum of nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production in fields that depend on time and one spatial coordinate. We…
An appraisal of average energy of Euclidean non-abelian point-like source in the instanton liquid is calculated. It behaves linearly increasing at large distances while unscreened. For the dipole in colour singlet state this energy…
We further scrutinize the evidence for a recently suggested pseudo-scalar particle, the electroweak $\eta_{\rm w}$-meson. Its existence is demanded by matching the removal of the weak vacuum angle $\theta_{\rm w}$ by the anomalous $B+L$ -…
The nonperturbative effects in the quark form factor are considered in the Wilson loop formalism. The properties of the Wilson loops with cusp singularities are studied taking into account the perturbative and nonperturbative contributions,…

Non-perturbative effects of instanton-like solutions are studied within the framework of supergravity theories with field-dependent gauge functions. Fermionic zero modes are constructed and some typical correlation functions are evaluated.…
The scattering of a charged fermion from an electroweak string is studied. Owing to an amplification of the wave function at the core radius, the cross sections for helicity flip processes can be largely enhanced. For $0 <\sin^2 \theta_w <…
Radiation from magnetic and electric dipole moments is a key subject in theory of electrodynamics. Although people treat the problem thoroughly in the context of frequency domain, the problem is still not well understood in the context of…
To match the precision of present and future measurements of W-boson production at hadron colliders electroweak radiative corrections must be included in the theory predictions. In this paper we consider their effect on the transverse…
We consider a possibility of a spontaneous generation of fourfold effective interactions of electroweak gauge bosons $W^a$ and $B$. The conditions for the spontaneous generation are shown to lead to a set of compensation equations for…
In this paper we study the high energy behaviour of Electroweak Standard Model for a nonzero Weinberg angle $\theta_{W}$. We evaluate the spectrum of the electroweak pomeron and demonstrate that the leading intercept is given by $\alpha…
We show how to use the worldline-instanton formalism to calculate the momentum spectrum of the electron-positron pairs produced by an electric field that depends on both space and time. Using the LSZ reduction formula with a worldline…
Accounting for double-logarithmic contributions to high-energy (>> 100 GeV) e^+ e^- annihilation into a quark or a lepton pair in the kinematics where the final particles are colinear to the e^+e^- beams leading to a sizable difference…
The associate production of Higgs bosons with W or Z bosons, known as Higgs-strahlung, is an important search channel for Higgs bosons at the hadron colliders Tevatron and LHC for low Higgs-boson masses. We refine a previous calculation of…
Using instanton calculus we check, in the weak coupling region, the nonperturbative relation $$ <\Tr\phi^2>=i\pi\left(\cf-{a\over 2} {\partial\cf\over\partial a}\right)$$ obtained for a N=2 globally supersymmetric gauge theory. Our…
We estimate production cross sections for 2-body resonances of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking sector (in $W_LW_L$ and $Z_LZ_L$ rescattering) from $\gamma\gamma$ scattering. We employ unitarized Higgs Effective Field Theory amplitudes…
