One way of avoiding the destabilization of the electroweak scale through a strong coupled regime naturally occurs in models with a Landau-like pole at the TeV scale. Hence, the quadratic divergence contributions to the scalar masses are not…
Light scattering and viscometric measurements on weak polyelectrolytes show two important aspects of counterion condensation, namely, non-monotonic variation in the polyelectrolyte size with the increase in the electrostatic strength, and,…
We point out that it is possible to associate the electroweak Higgs boson with the pseudo-Goldstone boson of broken scale invariance, thus resolving the hierarchy problem in a technically natural way. We illustrate this idea with two…
This is a pedagogical and self-contained review on obtaining electroweak precision constraints on TeV scale new physics using the effective theory method. We identify a set of relevant effective operators in the standard model and calculate…
We argue that the familiar gauge hierarchy between the fundamental Planck scale M_{Pl} and the electroweak scale M_{W}, can be naturally explained in higher dimensional theories with relatively large radii (R_c > 1/M_{Pl}) extra dimensions.…
We construct and study numerical solutions corresponding to generalized electrically charged half-monopole in Weinberg-Salam theory, denoted as Type I and Type II solutions. These solutions possess magnetic charge $q_m = +2 n \pi/e$ ($-2 n…
he Wu-Yang monopole for pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is revisited. New classical solutions with finite energy are found for a generalized Wu-Yang configuration. Our method relies on known asymptotic series solutions and explores the…
In this paper we correct previous work on magnetic charge plus a photon mass. We show that contrary to previous claims this system has a very simple, closed form solution which is the Dirac string potential multiplied by a exponential…
We deal with the presence of magnetic monopoles in a non Abelian model that generalizes the standard 't~Hooft-Polyakov model in three spatial dimensions. We investigate the energy density of the static and spherically symmetric solutions to…
While ball lighting is known to exist from thousands of observations, its properties have never been explained by known physics. The combined order of magnitude of power, size, time scale, and characteristic behavior of ball lightning have…
The dyonic quantum states of magnetic monopoles in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with a non-abelian unbroken gauge group display a subtle interplay between magnetic and electric properties. This is described in detail in the theory with the gauge…
We give a short review of the recently obtained result that the magnetic monopole promoted to the dyon due to the vacuum angle $\theta$ resolves the U(1) problem in the sense that the dyon obtained in this way gives a dominant contribution…
This PhD thesis is concerned with one-loop virtual electroweak corrections to arbitrary processes in the high-energy limit. Complete results are presented for the leading and subleading logarithms of large ratios of energy scales to mass…
A new class of solutions to the electroweak hierarchy problem is presented that does not require either weak scale dynamics or anthropics. Dynamical evolution during the early universe drives the Higgs mass to a value much smaller than the…
We consider a recent proposal by Dimopoulos and Kaplan to embed the electroweak SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y into a larger group SU(3)_W X SU(2) X U(1) at a scale above a TeV. This idea is motivated by the prediction for the weak mixing angle sin^2…
Magnetic monopoles in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with a non-abelian unbroken gauge group are classified by holomorphic charges in addition to the topological charges familiar from the abelian case. As a result the moduli spaces of monopoles of…
We derive parts of the monopole and dyon spectra for N=2 super-Yang--Mills theories in four dimensions with gauge groups G of rank r>1 and matter multiplets. Special emphasis is put on G=SU(3) and those matter contents that yield…
Study of magnetic monopoles in the original version of Born-Infeld (BI) electrodynamics is performed. It then is realized that interesting new physics emerge and they include exotic behavior of radial electric monopole field such as its…
We develop the quantum field theory of electron-point magnetic monopole interactions and more generally, dyon-dyon interactions, based on the original string-dependent ``nonlocal'' action of Dirac and Schwinger. We demonstrate that a viable…
It is shown that the effective Standard Model theory with the physical Higgs mass lighter than $\sim 200$ GeV takes the form of an unbroken electroweak theory already at moderately high, $O(1 TeV)$, energy scales. No such transitional scale…
