We compute the complete supersymmetric QCD corrections to the Wilson coefficients of the magnetic and chromomagnetic operators, relevant in the calculation of b -> s gamma decays, in the MSSM with Minimal Flavor Violation. We investigate…
Monopoles have recently been discussed to be a dominant component in strong coupled quark gluon plasma ( QGP ) and to play a role for chiral symmetry breaking as well as quark confinement. We analyze monopole quark interactions and show…
Considered are ${\cal N}=2\, SU(N_c)$ or $U(N_c)$ SQCD with $N_F<2N_c-1$ equal mass quark flavors. ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry is softly broken down to ${\cal N}=1$ by the mass term $\mu_{\rm x}{\rm Tr}\,(X^2)$ of colored adjoint scalar…
We evaluate the pseudoscalar-meson octet-baryon coupling constants and the corresponding axial charges in eight channels ($\pi N\N$, $\pi\Sigma\Sigma$, $\pi\Lambda\Sigma$, $K\Lambda N$, $K \Sigma N $, $\pi\Xi\Xi$, $K\Lambda\Xi$ and…
In general the kernel of QCD's gap equation possesses a domain of analyticity upon which the equation's solution at nonzero chemical potential is simply obtained from the in-vacuum result through analytic continuation. On this domain the…
In this work, we discuss recent results obtained with the application of the medium separation scheme (MSS) in different contexts where a clear violation of the conformal limit for the speed of sound at finite density has been observed in…
The mass formulas and decay constants of electrically charged and strange pseudoscalar mesons are analyzed within the combined framework of Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model and the $1/N_c$ expansion up to $\mathcal O(1/N_c^2)$. The light quark…
We investigate the color-singlet order parameters and the quark description of the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons in the color-flavor locked (CFL) phase. We put emphasis on the NG boson (phason) called ``H'' associated with the…
We have studied lattice QCD with an additional, irrelevant 4-fermion interaction having a U(1)xU(1) chiral symmetry, at finite temperatures. Adding this 4-fermion term allowed us to work at zero quark mass, which would have otherwise been…
We propose a supersymmetric extension of the standard model which is a realistic alternative to the MSSM, and which has several advantages. No ``mu'' supersymmetric Higgs/Higgsino mass parameter is needed for sufficiently heavy charginos.…
Extra symmetries are shown to exist in the effective theory of heavy quarks when both quarks and anti-quarks with the same velocity are included. These symmetries mix the quark with the anti-quark sector and they resemble axial-type of…
The spectrum of meson and diquark excitations of dense color neutral cold quark matter is investigated in the framework of a 2-flavored Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type model, including a quark $\mu$- and color $\mu_8$ chemical potential. It was…
We derive a non-local Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model from QCD with a form factor exactly obtained in the infrared limit. With this model, having all the parameters properly fixed through those of QCD, we consider the case of finite temperature…
We investigate modifications of hadron masses at finite quark chemical potential in two-flavor and two-color QCD, of which the data are available from lattice simulations, within a linear sigma model based on approximate Pauli-Gursey…
We investigate in some detail a "variational mass" expansion approach, generalized from a similar construction developed in the Gross-Neveu model, to evaluate the basic order parameters of the dynamical breaking of the $SU(2)_L \times…
We study a quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a hypercubic lattice in three or higher dimensions $d\ge 3$. When a phase transition occurs with the continuous symmetry breaking, the nonvanishing spontaneous magnetization which is…
We discuss spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and quark bilinear condensate in large $N_c$ QCD. It has been known that the existence of $\eta'$ meson is implied in large $N_c$ QCD as pointed out by Witten and Veneziano. First, we show…
We employ the two-flavor quark-meson diquark model as a low-energy model for QCD at non-zero quark and isospin chemical potentials $\mu$ and $\mu_I$, and at zero temperature. We map out the phase diagram in the $\mu$-$\mu_I$ plane, which…
We study dynamical supersymmetry breaking in supersymmetric QCD theories for $N_f<N_c$. We consider a model with a singlet chiral superfield coupled to the infrared meson chiral superfield through a classical superpotential. We examine the…
The effect that the current quark mass $M_0$ may result in nonzero-ness of chiral condensates is systematically reexamined and analyzed in a two-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model simulating Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at temperature $T$ and…
