Two program packages are presented for evaluating one-loop amplitudes. They can work either in dimensional regularization or in constrained differential renormalization. The latter method is found at the one-loop level to be equivalent to…
Dark Energy is some of the weirdest and most mysterious stuff in the universe that tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe. Two commonly known forms of dark energy are the cosmological constant, a constant energy density…
We study the minimum volume ellipsoid estimator associates to a cloud of points in phase space. Using as a natural measure of uncertainty the symplectic capacity of the covariance ellipsoid we find that classical uncertainties obey…
We re-examine the status of the weak value of a quantum mechanical observable as an objective physical concept, addressing its physical interpretation and general domain of applicability. We show that the weak value can be regarded as a…
We calculate the one-loop tension of the domain wall soliton in the $\phi^4$ double-well model. Our result agrees with previous results from Dashen, Hasslacher and Neveu (1974) in 1+1d and Jaimunga, Semenoff and Zarembo (1999) in 2+1d.…

A theory of higher-derivative 2D dilaton gravity which has its roots in the massive higher-spin mode dynamics of string theory is suggested. The divergences of the effective action to one-loop are calculated, both in the covariant and in…
In contrast to that a weak value of an observable is usually divided into real and imaginary parts, here we show that separation into modulus and argument is important for modular values. We first show that modular values are expressed by…

In this paper, we present the metric for the $n$-dimensional charged slowly rotating dilaton black hole with $N = [(n -1)/2]$ independent rotation parameters, associated with $N$ orthogonal planes of rotation in the background of…
Given a compact pseudo-metric space, we associate to it upper and lower dimensions, depending only on the metric. Then we construct a doubling metric for which the measure of a dillated ball is closely related to these dimensions.
The possibility of dynamical stabilization of an internal space is investigated for a multidimensional cosmological model with minimal coupled scalar field as inflaton. It is shown that a successful dynamical compactification crucially…

Continuum spectra can be a way out to alleviate the tension generated by the elusiveness of narrow resonances of new physics in direct experimental searches. Motivated by the latter, we consider the linear dilaton model with a continuum…
