In this paper, we investigate the beta-function of the gauge coupling constant ($e$) of the gauged four-fermi theory in the Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) framework. It seems that the presence of the four-fermi interaction strongly…
We consider a possibility that $R$-parity violating interactions of particles which do not involve the first generation have large (up to 1) coupling constants, $\Lambda$. Such couplings, if exist, could have a number of phenomenological…
