The quark-gluon mixed condensate g<\bar{q} \sigma G q> is studied using SU(3)c lattice QCD with the Kogut-Susskind fermion at the quenched level. Using the lattices as \beta = 6.0 with 16^3 * N_t (N_t=16,12,10,8,6,4), \beta = 6.1 with 20^3…
For top-quarks produced via the subprocess $q\bar q\to t\bar t$, the longitudinal t-quark polarization ($P_{\parallel}$) vanishes in QCD. $P_{\parallel}$ can be measured by the angular distribution of the lepton in $t$-quark semileptonic…
We study chiral condensate in cold nuclear matter on the basis of holographic theory, which would be dual to a baryon system in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the confinement phase. Our model is a holographic model based on the D$3$/D$7$…
We investigate toric GLSMs as models for tachyon condensation in type II strings on space-time non-supersymmetric orbifold singularities. The A-model correlators in these theories satisfy a set of relations related to the topology of the…
We use the framework of matrix factorizations to study topological B-type D-branes on the cubic curve. Specifically, we elucidate how the brane RR charges are encoded in the matrix factors, by analyzing their structure in terms of sections…
We study a system of N D3-branes in which open string tachyons survive in the low energy alpha' -> 0 limit. We compute the height of the tachyon potential both in the weak and strong couplings by using N=4 super Yang-Mills and the dual…
We construct the explicit boundary state description of the vortex-type (codimension two) tachyon condensation in brane-antibrane systems generalizing the known result of the kink-type (Frau et al. hep-th/9903123). In this description we…
We present an extensive study on inhomogeneous chiral condensates in QCD at finite density in the chiral limit using a generalized Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approach. Performing analyses on higher harmonics of one-dimensionally (1D) modulated…
The classical principal chiral model in 1+1 dimensions with target space a compact Lie supergroup is investigated. It is shown how to construct a local conserved charge given an invariant tensor of the Lie superalgebra. We calculate the…
Type II theories can be described as the endpoint of closed string tachyon condensation in certain orbifolds of supercritical type 0 theories. In this paper, we study solitons of this closed string tachyon and analyze the nature of the…
Chiral-parity (parity-doublet) effective Lagrangian models provide a compact and symmetry-consistent framework for describing baryons and their negative-parity partners in terms of linearly-realized chiral symmetry. Unlike the conventional,…
We analyse the condensation of closed string tachyons on the $C/Z_N$ orbifold. We construct the potential for the tachyons upto the quartic interaction term in the large $N$ limit. In this limit there are near marginal tachyons. The quartic…
A recent Monte Carlo study of {\em quenched} QCD showed that the chiral condensate is non-vanishing above $T_c$ in the phase where the average of the Polyakov loop $P$ is complex. We show how this is related to the dependence of the…
We discuss the condensation of charged tachyons in the heterotic theory on the Kaluza-Klein Melvin background. The arguments are based on duality relations which are expected to hold from the adiabatic argument. It is argued that in many…
As the chirally restored phase ends with T coming down to T_c, a phase resembling a mixed phase is realized, during which the hadrons (which are massless at T_c in the chiral limit) get their masses back out of their kinetic energy. The…
It is shown that the spin polarized condensate appears in quark matter at high baryon density and low temperature due to the tensor-type four-point interaction in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-type model as a low energy effective theory of quantum…
Under the assumption of Abelian dominance in QCD, we show that either color charge or chirality of quark is not conserved, when the low energy massless quark collides with QCD monopole. Because the color charge is conserved in reality, the…
We report on investigations of local (and non-local) charges in bosonic and supersymmetric principal chiral models in 1+1 dimensions. In the bosonic PCM there is a classically conserved local charge for each symmetric invariant tensor of…
We construct a class of CFT's which describe space-dependent closed string tachyon backgrounds, as the IR limit of GLSM's in which the FI-parameter is promoted to a superfield. Whole process of tachyon condensation is described by a single…
In this thesis, we study the hidden symmetries in the SM and also use discrete gauge symmetries as model building tools to solve various problems in the SM as well as the MSSM, such as R-parity, mu-term, stabilizing the axion solutions,…
