Bounds for the correlation functions of identical bosons are discussed for the general case of a Gaussian density matrix. In particular, for a purely chaotic system the two-particle correlation function must always be greater than one. On…
Additional Z' gauge bosons are predicted by a wide variety of extensions of the standard model (SM). Possibilities include TeV-scale bosons with electroweak coupling, very light bosons which nearly decouple from the standard model…

We consider a theory with the gauge group $E_8$ assuming that the gauge symmetry breaking pattern is $E_8 \to E_7 \times U_1 \to E_6 \times U_1 \to SO_{10} \times U_1 \to SU_5 \times U_1 \to SU_3 \times SU_2 \times U_1$ and vacuum…
In this talk I briefly review the status of SUSY GUTs in 4, 5, 6 and 10 dimensions, focusing on the issue of gauge coupling unification and proton decay. I then discuss the predictions of the minimal SO(10) SUSY model [MSO$_{10}$SM].
In this talk I summarize the capability of future lepton colliders to indirectly discover a new $Z'$ and to determine its couplings to the fermions of the Standard Model. The physics associated with sitting on the $Z'$-pole is also briefly…
We review studies of the trilinear gauge boson couplings at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider from data collected by the CDF and D0 collaborations during the period 1992--1996. The gauge boson couplings are a fundamental prediction of…
The mass and the decay width of a Higgs boson in the minimal standard model are evaluated by a variational method in the limit of strong self-coupling interaction. The non-perturbative technique provides an interpolation scheme between…

Renormalization group analyses show that the three running gauge coupling constants of the Standard Model do not become equal at any energy scale. These analyses have not included any effects of the Higgs boson's self-interaction. In this…
