The three weak bosons are bound states of two fermions and their antiparticles. There exist also two bound states of three fermions. One of them is neutral and stable. This particle provides the dark matter in our universe.

The Standard Model has three generations of fermions and although it does not contain any explicit reason for this, the existence of additional generations is now very constrained by experiment. Present measurements are saturating…

We consider a dark sector model containing stable fermions charged under an unbroken $U(1)$ gauge interaction, with a massless dark photon as force carrier, and interacting with ordinary matter via scalar messengers. We study its early…

We study the $2$-categories BIon, of (generalized) bounded ionads, and $\text{Acc}_\omega$, of accessible categories with directed colimits, as an abstract framework to approach formal model theory. We relate them to topoi and (lex)…

Fermion systems in discrete space-time are introduced as a model for physics on the Planck scale. We set up a variational principle which describes a non-local interaction of all fermions. This variational principle is symmetric under…

Fermions are the building blocks of matter, forming atoms and nuclei, complex materials and neutron stars. Our understanding of many-fermion systems is however limited, as classical computers are often insufficient to handle the intricate…

We develop an approach to the origin of three generations of the Standard Model fermions from one generation in a higher-dimensional theory, where four-dimensional fermions appear as zero modes trapped in the core of a topological defect,…

A minimal fermion-scalar preonic model containing two fermionic and one scalar preons is proposed. This scheme allows to prevent the occurrence of undesired SM-level particles, namely leptons and quarks with unusual electric charges.…

We present a method for the modeling of fermionic reservoirs using a new class of ancillary damped fermions, dubbed purified pseudofermions, which exhibit unusual free correlations. We show that this key feature, when combined with existing…

Milne cosmology has recently been shown to be in broad agreement with most cosmological data while being free of the problematic notions of standard cosmology such as the dark sector. In this paper a broken symmetric unified theory of…

The "parity" anomaly -- more accurately described as an anomaly in time-reversal or reflection symmetry -- arises in certain theories of fermions coupled to gauge fields and/or gravity in a spacetime of odd dimension. This anomaly has…

We introduce topological magnetic field in two-dimensional flat space, which admits a solution of scalar monopole that describes the nontrivial topology. In the Chern-Simons gauge field theory of anyons, we interpret the anyons as the…

We propose a geometric explanation of the standard model of Glashow, Weinberg and Salam for the known elementary particles. Our model is a generic Quantum Field Theory in dimension four, obtained by developing along a Lorentz sub-manifold…

We present results on the nucleon scalar, axial and tensor charges, as well as, on the first moments of the unpolarized, polarized and transversity parton distributions using $N_f=2$ and $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions. These include an…

A model is presented based on a dipole picture with a hard and a soft pomeron. It is assumed that large dipoles couple to the soft pomeron and small dipoels couple to the hard pomeron. Most of the parameters of the model are predetermined…

All of the known fermions fit a simple formula which is presented here. The simple formula appears to indicate a topological origin to mass generation, and it is globally accurate to an approximate percent. Instantons or a quantized two…

Most modern theoretical considerations of the physical world suggest that nature is: (1) field-theoretic, (2) smooth, (3) local, (4) gauged, (5) containing fermions, and (6) non-perturbative. Tautologous as this may sound to experts, it is…
