We present a method for finding lines of constant physics in the confinement phase of the SU(2) Higgs model on the lattice. The model is considered at finite values of the cut-off where it behaves like an effective field theory with three…

We discuss how one can identify CP violation (and conservation) in multi-Higgs-doublet potentials. After a brief review of CP violation in the 2HDM, we refer to the fact that for NHDM with $N \geq 3$ the well known methods useful in the…

A new family of exactly solvable models is introduced. These models are generalizations of the XXZ chain where the distance among spins up ($\sigma^z$-basis) cannot be smaller or equal to t (t=0,1,2,...). The case t=0 recovers the standard…

We consider backward problems for semilinear coupled parabolic systems in bounded domains. We prove conditional stability estimates for linear and semilinear systems of strongly coupled parabolic equations involving general semilinearities.…

The thermodynamics of the O(N) linear and nonlinear sigma models in 3+1 dimensions is studied. We calculate the pressure to next-to-leading order in the 1/N expansion and show that at this order, temperature-independent renormalization is…

We study relativistic self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs systems in the presence of uniform background fields that explicitly break CTP. A rich, but discrete vacuum structure is found when the gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken, while the…

It is argued that QCD might solve the strong CP problem on its own. To test this idea, a lattice simulation suggests itself. In view of the difficulty of such a calculation we have, as a first step, investigated the problem in the $CP^3$…

This review is dedicated to two-dimensional sigma models with flag manifold target spaces, which are generalizations of the familiar $CP^{n-1}$ and Grassmannian models. They naturally arise in the description of continuum limits of spin…

We calculate the one loop beta functions for nonlinear sigma models in four dimensions containing general two and four derivative terms. In the O(N) model there are four such terms and nontrivial fixed points exist for all N \geq 4. In the…

The large-$N$ limit of $O(N)$-symmetric bosonic field theories, or $U(N)$-symmetric fermionic field theories, is amenable to a saddle point approximation. As a result, there is a family of closely related algorithms for efficient lattice…

We study the gradient flow equation for the O(N) nonlinear sigma model in two dimensions at large N. We parameterize solution of the field at flow time t in powers of bare fields by introducing the coefficient function X_n for the n-th…

This paper addresses structured normwise, mixed, and componentwise condition numbers (CNs) for a linear function of the solution to the generalized saddle point problem (GSPP). We present a general framework that enables us to measure the…

A minimal supersymmetric SO(10) model with one {\bf 10} and one {\bf 126} Higgs superfield has recently been shown to predict all neutrino mixings as well as the solar mass difference squared in agreement with observations. Two assumptions…

In this article we study the existence of limit cycles in families of piecewise smooth differential equations having the unit circle as discontinuity region. We consider families presenting singularities of center or saddle type, visible or…

We consider an O(N) version of a massive, interacting, chiral supersymmetry model solved exactly in the large N limit. We demonstrate that the system approaches a stable attractor at high energy densities, corresponding to a…

We review recent developments in our understanding of the dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral $SU(N)$ gauge theories in four dimensions, problems which are potentially important in our quest to go beyond the standard $SU(3)_{QCD} \times…

The periodic KPZ fixed point is the conjectural universal limit of the KPZ universality class models on a ring when both the period and time critically tend to infinity. For the case of the periodic narrow wedge initial condition, we…

In this work we discuss the phase structure of a deformed supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model in a three-dimensional space-time. The deformation is introduced by a term that breaks supersymmetry explicitly, through imposing a slightly…

We investigate non-perturbative structures of the two-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model on the quadric surface Q^{n-2}(C) = SO(n)/SO(n-2)xU(1), which is a Hermitian symmetric space, and therefore Kahler, by using the…

We study the lattice gauge model proposed recently by Kazakov and Migdal for inducing QCD. We discuss an extra local Z_N which is a symmetry of the model and propose of how to construct observables. We discuss the role of the large-N phase…
