The charge asymmetry in top quark production at hadron colliders is sensitive to beyond-the-Standard-Model four-fermion interactions. In this study we compare the sensitivity of cross-section and charge asymmetry measurements to effective…
We use holography to study (3+1)-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric SU(Nc) Yang-Mills theory (SYM) in the large-Nc and large coupling limits, with a (2+1)-dimensional interface where the Yang-Mills coupling or theta-angle changes value, or…
Gravitons naturally acquire topological masses in the 3d topologically massive gravity (TMG) theory that includes the gravitational Chern-Simons term. We present a Weyl-transformed TMG (WTMG) formulation by introducing an unphysical dilaton…
We show that, although the correlator of four stress-tensor multiplets in N=4 SYM is known to have radiative corrections, certain linear combinations of its components are protected from perturbative renormalisation and remain at their…
A conformally invariant hidden sector is considered, with a scalar operator $O$ of low dimension that couples to the electro-weak gauge bosons of the Standard Model, via terms such as $O F^{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu}$. By examining single photon…
We present updated predictions for the total cross section for Higgs boson production by gluon--gluon fusion in hadron collisions. Our calculation includes the most advanced theoretical information available at present for this observable:…
We study the phase diagram of interacting spinless fermions on the honeycomb bilayer at charge neutrality using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In the noninteracting limit, the low-energy spectrum features quadratically…
We construct gauge theory of interacting symmetric traceless tensor fields of all ranks s=0,1,2,3, ... which generalizes Weyl-invariant dilaton gravity to the higher spin case, in any dimension d>2. The action is given by the trace of the…
We derive the three loop soft function for inclusive Higgs production in gluon fusion, and use it to perform the resummation of the Higgs cross section at N$^3$LL$^\prime$ in SCET. We improve the accuracy of the resummation by including…
A recent publication reports that heavy-ion fusion cross sections at extreme subbarrier energies show a continuous change of their logarithmic slope with decreasing energy, resulting in a much steeper excitation function compared with…
We uncover a contribution to the NLO/NLL threshold resummed total cross section for top quark pair production at hadron colliders, which has not been taken into account in earlier literature. We derive this contribution - the difference…
We update our estimate of the cross section for Higgs production in gluon fusion at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) in $\alpha_s$ in view of the recent full computation of the result in the soft limit for infinite top mass,…
A non-linear sigma model effective lagrangian is analyzed for theories in which supersymmetry is softly broken at scales below the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. Besides the gauge and matter supermultiplets, the low energy theory…
The most general renormalizable interaction between the Higgs sector and a new gauge-singlet scalar $S$ is governed by two interaction terms: cubic and quartic. The quartic interaction is only loosely constrained by invisible Higgs decays.…
Recently at LHC one has obtained measurements of the total, elastic and diffractive cross sections in pp collisions at very high energy. The total cross section is in good agreement with predictions based on a leading behavior \sigma_{tot}…
Results for the complete NLO electroweak corrections to Standard Model Higgs production via gluon fusion are included in the total cross section for hadronic collisions. Artificially large threshold effects are avoided working in the…
In supersymmetric models with gaugino mediated SUSY breaking (inoMSB), it is assumed that SUSY breaking on a hidden brane is communicated to the visible brane via gauge superfields which propagate in the bulk. This leads to GUT models where…
When the $SU(N)$ ${\cal N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with complexified gauge coupling $\tau$ is placed on a round four-sphere and deformed by an ${\cal N} = 2$-preserving mass parameter $m$, its free energy $F(m, \tau, \bar \tau)$…
We examine in detail the higher spin fields which arise on the basic fuzzy sphere $S^4_N$ in the semi-classical limit. The space of functions can be identified with functions on classical $S^4$ taking values in a higher spin algebra…
We perform the all orders resummation of threshold enhanced contributions for the Higgs boson pair production cross section via gluon fusion, including finite top quark mass ($M_t$) effects. We present results for the total cross section…
