Vacuum stability and metastability imply lower limits on the mass of the higgs boson in the Standard Model (SM). In contrast, we present an improved calculation of an upper limit on the lightest higgs mass in supersymmetric (susy) models,…

Calculations of hadron masses are done in quenched approximation using gauge field and fermion actions which are both corrected for discretization errors to $O(a^2)$ at the classical level and which contain tadpole improvement factors. The…
We present estimates of light quarks masses using lattice data. Our main results are based on a global analysis of all the published data for Wilson and Staggered fermions, both in the quenched approximation and with $n_f=2$ dynamical…
Lieb-Robinson-type bounds are reported for a large class of classical Hamiltonian lattice models. By a suitable rescaling of energy or time, such bounds can be constructed for interactions of arbitrarily long range. The bound quantifies the…
The (1+1)-dimensional bosonization relations for fermionic mass terms are derived by choosing a specific gauge in an enlarged gauge-invariant theory containing both fermionic and bosonic fields. The fermionic part of the generating…

We further develop the constrained mass variable techniques to determine the mass scale of invisible particles pair-produced at hadron colliders. We introduce the constrained mass variable M_3C which provides an event-by-event lower bound…
We study cutoff effects at tree-level of perturbation theory for maximally twisted mass Wilson, overlap and the recently proposed Creutz fermions. We demonstrate that all three kind of lattice fermions exhibit the expected O(a^2) scaling…
The two-fermion bound system is an attractive subject of atomic and sub-atomic physics. Despite these systems are rather simple the study of two-particle bound states is challenging and still remains a source of progress in quantum theory.…
We address the perturbative renormalization of massive lattice fermions. We derive expressions-valid to all orders in perturbation theory and for all values of the bare fermion mass-for the rest mass, the kinetic mass, and the wave-function…
