The determination of the numerical value for the strong coupling constant from tau decays in perturbative QCD is briefly described. Main emphasis is made on the use of the renormalization scheme invariance of the theory for reducing…
This contribution presents the running triple-gluon-vertex coupling constant, g_lambda, in Hamiltonians for the gluons that are characterized by the size 1/lambda. The coupling constant is obtained from renormalization group equations for…
If nature is described by string theory, and if the compactification radius is large (as suggested by the unification of couplings), then the theory is in a regime best described by the low energy limit of $M$-theory. We discuss some…
Grand gauge-Higgs unification of five dimensional SU(6) gauge theory on an orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ with localized gauge kinetic terms is discussed. The Standard model (SM) fermions on the boundaries and some massive bulk fermions coupling to the…
A theory for the coupling constants between spin polarized degenerate fermionic atoms is developed for the case of atoms confined to a quasi one-dimensional harmonic trap. Exploiting the presence of the Fermi edge and the large number of…

The apparent unification of gauge couplings around 10^16 GeV is one of the strong arguments in favor of Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (SM). In this contribution two new analyses of the gauge coupling running, the latter…
A numerical value for the running electromagnetic coupling constant in the MS scheme is calculated at the low energy normalization scale equal to the tau-lepton mass M_\tau. This low energy boundary value is used for running the…
Based on the one-boson-exchange framework that the $\sigma$ meson serves as an effective parameterization for the correlated scalar-isoscalar $\pi\pi$ interaction, we calculate the coupling constants of the $\sigma$ to the $\frac{1}{2}^+$…
The strong coupling constants $g_{{\Sigma_{Q}\Lambda_{Q}\pi}}$ ($Q=b$ and $c$) are studied in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules using the most general form of the baryonic currents. The predicted coupling constants are used to…
Conventional wisdom has it that anomalous gauge-boson self-couplings can be at most a percent or so in size. We test this wisdom by computing these couplings at one loop in a generic renormalizable model of new physics. (For technical…
We start by studying the Goldberger-Treiman discrepancy (GTd) $\Delta = (2.259\pm 0.591)%$. Then we look at the $\pi N$ $\sigma$ term, with the dimensionless ratio $\sigma_N/2m_N=3.35%$. Finally we return to predicting (via the quark model)…
The results for the running of the gauge couplings in the MSSM are up-dated by proper inclusion of all low scale effects. They are presented as predictions for the strong coupling constant in the scenario with only two parameters at the GUT…
Last year I talked at this meeting about a possible time dependence of the QCD coupling constant $\alpha_s$. This year I shall look into the problem once more, without fully repeating the arguments given last year. Astrophysical indications…
In this article, we calculate the strong coupling constant $g$ among the decuplet baryons, the octet baryons and the pseudoscalar mesons in the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with the light-cone QCD sum rules, and study the strong…
High partial waves for $pp$ and $np$ elastic scattering are examined critically from 210 to 800 MeV. Non-OPE contributions are compared with predictions from theory. There are some discrepancies, but sufficient agreement that values of the…
The ground state pairing correlations in finite fermionic systems are described with a high degree of accuracy within a variational approach based on a combined coupled-cluster and particle-number-projected BCS ansatz. The flexibility of…
We compute the one-loop gauge couplings in six-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories on the T^2/Z_2 orbifold with general GUT breaking boundary conditions. For concreteness, we apply the obtained general formulae to the gauge coupling…

We discuss the variation of gauge couplings in time in the framework of orbifold constructions, due to a change of the extra compact dimension's size. Models with gauge coupling unification allow to estimate the variation of the strong…
