Several modified cosmological models exist, which also try to address the tensions between data and predictions of the $\Lambda$-CDM model. Galileon models are particular scalar tensor theories that represent one such possibilities. While…
The invariance of extensions of the Standard Model under the full SU(3)XSU(2)XU(1) gauge group can be used to classify general vector bosons and to write their interactions in a model-independent fashion. This description is useful for both…
We describe a unified approach to estimating the dimension of $f^{-1}(A)$ for any $G$-equivariant map $f \colon X \to Y$ and any closed $G$-invariant subset $A\subseteq Y$ in terms of connectivity of $X$ and dimension of $Y$, where $G$ is…
Supersymmetry and Yang-Mills type gauge invariance are two of the essential properties of most, and possibly the most important models in fundamental physics. Supersymmetry is nearly trivial to prove in the (traditionally…
A generalization of Gy's theory for the variance of the fundamental sampling error is reviewed. Practical situations where the generalized model potentially leads to more accurate variance estimates are identified as: clustering of…
We review several problems of conventional Grand Unification and some new approaches. In particular, we discuss strongly coupled Grand Unified Theories. Standard Model may emerge as a low energy effective theory of composite particles in…
A generalized scalar-tensor theory is investigated whose cosmological term depends on both a scalar field and its time derivative. A correspondence with solutions of five-dimensional Space-Time-Matter theory is noted. Analytic solutions are…
Enhanced Yang-Baxter operators give rise to invariants of oriented links. We expand the enhancing method to generalized Yang-Baxter operators. At present two examples of generalized Yang-Baxter operators are known and recently three types…

A key aspect of a recent proposal for a {\em generalized loop representation} of quantum Yang-Mills theory and gravity is considered. Such a representation of the quantum theory has been expected to arise via consideration of a particular…
Generalized symmetries and supersymmetries depending on derivatives of dynamic variables are treated in a most general setting. Studding cohomology of the variational bicomplex, we state the first variational formula and conservation laws…
A new family of polynomials, called cumulant polynomial sequence, and its extensions to the multivariate case is introduced relied on a purely symbolic combinatorial method. The coefficients of these polynomials are cumulants, but depending…
Lie algebroid Yang-Mills theories are a generalization of Yang-Mills gauge theories, replacing the structural Lie algebra by a Lie algebroid E. In this note we relax the conditions on the fiber metric of E for gauge invariance of the action…
We develop a generalised gauge theory in which the role of gauge group is played by a coalgebra and the role of principal bundle by an algebra. The theory provides a unifying point of view which includes quantum group gauge theory,…
We find a covariant completion of the flat-space multi-galileon theory, preserving second-order field equations. We then generalise this to arrive at an enlarged class of second order theories describing multiple scalars and a single…
