We establish an equivalence between massive spinning particle models in four spacetime dimensions coupled to electromagnetism or gravity, within the spin-magnitude-preserving sector. Four representative models in the literature are shown to…
We explore the semi-classical relation between the fuzzy 4-hyperboloid $H_N^4$ and non-compact quantized twistor space $\mathbb{P}^{1,2}$ at large $N$. This provides two backgrounds $N$ of the IKKT matrix model via two natural stereographic…
Supersymmetry, a new symmetry that relates bosons and fermions in particle physics, still escapes observation. Search for supersymmetry is one of the main aims of the Large Hadron Collider. The other possible manifestation of supersymmetry…
We study the simplest geometrical particle model associated with null paths in four-dimensional Minkowski space-time. The action is given by the pseudo-arclength of the particle worldline. We show that the reduced classical phase space of…
We introduce a minimal model for 2D cuprates with the on-site Hilbert space reduced to only three effective valence centers CuO$_4^{7-,6-,5-}$ (nominally Cu$^{1+,2+,3+}$) and make use of the S=1 pseudospin formalism. Despite its seeming…
In this work we extend the definition of asymptotic multi-particle states of the $S$-matrix, beyond the direct products of one-particle states. We identify new quantum numbers which we call pairwise helicities, or $q_{ij}$, associated with…
A model in which quarks and leptons consist of three "more elementary" particles of spin 1/2 is proposed. A gauge field theory with SU(4) symmetry that corresponds to this model predicts the existence of two new bosons.
This is a written version of lectures delivered at TASI 2022 ``Ten Years After the Higgs Discovery: Particle Physics Now and Future''. Mechanisms and symmetries beyond the Standard Model (BSM) are presented capable of elegantly and robustly…
The supersymmetric grand unified theory where the SU(5) gauge symmetry is broken by the Hosotani mechanism predicts the existence of adjoint chiral superfields whose masses are at the supersymmetry breaking scale. The Higgs sector is…
Recently, conceptually new physics beyond the Standard Model has been proposed, where a hidden conformal sector provides ``unparticle'' which couples to the Standard Model sector through higher dimensional operators in low energy effective…
We calculate the Higgs-boson mass spectrum and the corresponding mixing of the Higgs states in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We assume a mass-hierarchy with heavy SUSY particles and light Higgs bosons. To investigate…
The finite-size scaling spectra of the spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg chain with toroidal boundary conditions and an even number of sites provide a projection mechanism yielding the spectra of models with a central charge c<1 including the unitary…
There are three self-dual models of massive particles of helicity +2 (or -2) in $D=2+1$. Each model is of first, second, and third-order in derivatives. Here we derive a new self-dual model of fourth-order, $\cL {SD}^{(4)}$, which follows…
Kinematic edges in the invariant mass distributions of different final state particles are typically a signal of new physics. In this work we propose a scenario wherein these edges could be utilised in discriminating between different…
An explicit construction of theories of spinning particles, both massive and massless, is given with arbitrary extended supersymmetry on the world-line. As an application of our results, we give a universal description of 3D (and via…
The addition of mass terms in general breaks gauge symmetries which can be recovered usually via Stueckelberg fields. The massive BF model describes massive spin-1 particles while preserving the $U(1)$ symmetry without Stueckelberg fields.…
An interesting alternative to supersymmetry (SUSY) for extending physics beyond the Standard Model is a model with universal extra dimensions (UED), in which the SUSY superpartners are replaced by Kaluza-Klein excitations of the Standard…
The assumption of a new symmetry provides a nice explanation of the existence of dark matter and an elegant way to avoid the electroweak constraints. This symmetry often requires the pair production of new particles at colliders and it…
A brief review of the harmonic superspace approach to the construction of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric higher spin theories is given. We define off-shell analytic harmonic gauge potentials of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric higher-spin…
We consider the Higgs sector in an extension of the MSSM with extra SM singlets, involving an extra $U(1)^\prime$ gauge symmetry, in which the domain-wall problem is avoided and the effective $\mu$ parameter is decoupled from the new gauge…
