In this talk I review the history of models of strong decays, from the original model through applications to charmonium, light and charmed mesons, glueballs and hybrids. Our current rather limited understanding of the QCD mechanism of…
We present new results concerning the masses and the decay widths of the most interesting hybrid meson states taking as inputs the gluon mass mg and the non-perturbative QCD running coupling constant ?alpha_s(0) comming from both LQCD and…
In this paper we are going to review the status of the computations of the perturbative quantum corrections to the Higgs boson mass in the Standard Model and in its supersymmetric extensions. In particular, supersymmetric theories require a…
We consider a bound state problem for a family of supersymmetric gauge theories with fundamental matter. These theories can be obtained by a dimensional reduction of supersymmetric QCD from three dimensions to 1+1 and subsequent truncation…
We extend the study of the quantum mechanics of BMN gauge theory to the sector of three scalar impurities at one loop and all genus. The relevant matrix elements of the non-planar one loop dilatation operator are computed in the gauge…
Three-body decays of resonant states are studied using integral formulae for decay widths. Theoretical approach with a simplified Hamiltonian allows semianalytical treatment of the problem. The model is applied to decays of the first…
In an earlier paper we have proposed a novel method to compute the decay width for a general $1\to n$ cascade decay where the propagators are off-shell and may be of different spins. Here, we extend our algorithm to accommodate those decays…
In the standard model, the top quark decay width \Gamma_t is computed from the exclusive t -> bW decay. We argue in favor of using the three body decays t-> bf_i\bar{f}_j to compute \Gamma_t as a sum over these exclusive modes. As dictated…
The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) offers a rich framework embedding physics beyond the Standard Model as well as consistent interpretations of the results about the Higgs signal detected at the LHC. We investigate…
The linear sigma model with pions and sigma coupled to baryons and a (massive) gauge vector meson is considered for the description of a finite baryonic density system. The stability equation for the bound system is studied in the…
We study general features of three-meson bound states using the Y(4660) as an example. Here the Y(4660) is assumed to be either a two-body bound state of the f_0(980), itself a bound state of K and Kbar, and the psi'= psi(2s), or a…
We derive the boson--fermion bound state equation in a two dimensional gauge theory in the large--$\nc$ limit. We analyze the properties of this equation and in particular, find that the mass trajectory is linear with respect to the bound…
Within models containing a very light scalar particle coupled to the 125 GeV Higgs boson, we present the first detailed study of Higgs decays into three of these light scalars. We determine model-independent conditions which the scalar…
A new method for generating exactly solvable Schr\"odinger equations with a position-dependent mass is proposed. It is based on a relation with some deformed Schr\"odinger equations, which can be dealt with by using a supersymmetric quantum…
We perform a systematic study of the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons such as $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}$, $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ in the framework of the one-boson-exchange model. The exchanged bosons include the…
The description of baryon resonance masses and decays in the constituent quark model is outlined, with emphasis on the potential-model approach combined with the 3P0 pair-creation model of strong decays. This approach allows the estimation…
A model of light hybrid mesons and their strong decays is developed. The model employs a gluonic quasiparticle to describe low energy gluodynamics and uses the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge to guide the construction of states and decay…
The generalized q-deformed valence-bond-solid groundstate of one-dimensional higher integer spin model is studied. The Schwinger boson representation and the matrix product representation of the exact groundstate is determined, which…
It is thought that strong interactions within the Standard Model can generate bound-states in which non-Abelian gauge-bosons play a dual role, serving both as force and matter fields. In this context we introduce a novel approach to the…
One of the main features of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is the existence of an absolute tree-level upper bound $m_h$ on the mass of the $CP=+1$ lightest Higgs boson, equal to $m_Z$, that could affect detectability at…
