We study some phenomenological constraints on the parameters of a left right model with mirror fermions (LRMM) that solves the strong CP problem. In particular, we evaluate the contribution of mirror neutrinos to the invisible Z decay width…
In this work we devise a new method to study quark anti-quark interactions beyond simple ladder-exchange that yield massless pions in the chiral limit. The method is based on the requirement to have a representation of the quark-gluon…
We place bounds on anomalous gauge boson couplings from LEP data with particular emphasis on those couplings which do not contribute to $Z$ decays at tree level. We use an effective field theory formalism to compute the one-loop corrections…
By imposing twisted boundary conditions on quark fields it is possible to access components of momenta other than integer multiples of 2pi/L on a lattice with spatial volume L^3. We use Chiral Perturbation Theory to study finite-volume…
Upper bounds at the weak scale are obtained for all $\lambda_{ij}\lambda_{im}$ type product couplings of the scalar leptoquark model which may affect K-K(bar), B_d-B_d(bar), and B_s-B_s(bar)$ mixing, as well as leptonic and semileptonic K…
Leptons, quarks and gauge bosons are assumed to be described by local field theory. Stringent bounds on nonlocal scale can be derived from the high- presision LEP measurements. We find a bound on nonlocal scale $\Lambda_{nl} > 1020\: Gev$,…
Since long-lived light bottom squark (sbottom) and its anti-particle with a mass close to the bottom quark have not been excluded by experiments so far, we consider such a sbottom to combine with its anti-particle to form a color singlet…
We propose a new relation between quark mixing matrix and lepton mixing matrix. Since the parameters in the quark sector are well determined, we employ them to describe the mixing of leptons. Phenomenologically, we study the neutrino…
In the field of sampling algorithms, MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) methods are widely used when direct sampling is not possible. However, multimodality of target distributions often leads to slow convergence and mixing. One common…
In a nonrelativistic constituent quark model we find a constraint on the mixing angle of the strange axial-vector mesons, $35^o\stackrel{<}{\sim } \theta _K\stackrel{<}{\sim }55^o,$ determined solely by two parameters: the mass difference…
Neutrino mixing is studied from a symmetry perspective, both bottom-up and top-down. In the bottom-up approach, we start from the tri-bimaximal mixing, or one of its three partial patterns, and construct a list of horizontal symmetry groups…
We parameterize the non-universal couplings of t-t-Z and t-b-W in the electroweak chiral lagrangian approach, and examine the constraints on these parameters from the LEP data. We also study how the SLC, Tevatron, LHC and NLC can improve…
On complete, non-compact manifolds and infinite graphs, Faber-Krahn inequalities have been used to estimate the rate of decay of the heat kernel. We develop this technique in the setting of finite Markov chains, proving upper and lower…
Some low-energy manifestations of a minimal extension of the Standard Model based on the quark-lepton $SU(4)_V \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes G_R$ symmetry of the Pati-Salam type are analysed. Given this symmetry a new type of mixing in the…
Determining the number of embeddings of Laman graph frameworks is an open problem which corresponds to understanding the solutions of the resulting systems of equations. In this paper we investigate the bounds which can be obtained from the…
The extension of the Standard Model with exotic quark singlets and doublets introduces large flavor changing neutral couplings between ordinary fermions. We derive inequalities which translate the precise determination of the diagonal Z…
The problem of recovering the parameters of a mixture of spike signals convolved with different PSFs is considered. Herein, the spike support is assumed to be known, while the PSFs lie on a manifold. A non-linear least squares estimator of…
A model-independent ansatz to describe lepton and quark mixing in a unified way is suggested based upon the Cabibbo angle. In our framework neutrinos mix in a "Bi-Large" fashion, while the charged leptons mix as the "down-type" quarks do.…
Lepton and quark asymmetries at Z boson peak are a powerful means to test the couplings of the Z boson to fermions. The measurements performed at LEP and SLC colliders are reviewed, and their impact on the determination of the electroweak…
We prove explicit finite-$N$ lower bounds for $\mathbb P(\bigcup_{k=1}^N A_k)$ when the $\sigma$-algebras generated by an event sequence satisfy quantitative $\varphi$- or $\alpha$-mixing bounds. The main $\varphi$-mixing estimate is…
