Supersymmetry is a symmetry between a boson and a fermion. Although there is no apparent supersymmetry in nature, its mathematical consistency and appealing property have led many people to believe that supersymmetry may exist in nature in…
The paper formulates a principal positions of non-Hermitian models with $\gamma_5$-mass extensions, which often be ignored in some investigations for this subject. In fact in this case Hamiltonians contain not only Hermitian masses $m_1$,…
Dong, Munczek and Roberts have shown how the full 3-point vertex that appears in the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the fermion propagator can be expressed in terms of a constrained function $W_1$ in massless quenched QED. However, this…
The generation of the fermion mass hierarchy in the standard model of particle physics is a long-standing puzzle. The recent discoveries from neutrino physics suggests that the mixing in the lepton sector is large compared to the quark…
The recently proposed fermion bag approach is a powerful technique to solve some four-fermion lattice field theories. Due to the existence of a duality between strong and weak couplings, the approach leads to efficient Monte Carlo…

We consider quiver theories in four dimensions with a large ultra-violet cutoff. These theories require that an ordered set of vacuum expectation values for the link fields develops dynamically and can be obtained from the coarse…
In the standard quantum electrodynamics (QED), the fermionic vacuum is a continuum of randomly created and annihilated virtual electron-positron pairs. In this case, in the strong electromagnetic fields, vacuum creation of real…
We argue that all fermionic states characterized by the (four) velocity not momentum of the fermion are always occupied by a single fermion. So there is no fermion number violation whatsoever. The mass of an elementary particle is not…
