Recently, the possibility of quantum simulation of dynamical gauge fields was pointed out by using a system of cold atoms trapped on each link in an optical lattice. However, to implement exact local gauge invariance, fine-tuning the…

We investigate some general properties of linear gauge fixings and gauge-field correlators in lattice models with noncompact U(1) gauge symmetry. In particular, we show that, even in the presence of a gauge fixing, some gauge-field…

Assuming that supersymmetry exists well above the weak scale, we derive the full one-loop matching conditions between the SM and the supersymmetric theory, allowing for the possibility of an intermediate Split-SUSY scale. We also compute…

In reference [1] a unified description, both at the effective and fundamental Lagrangian level, of models of composite Higgs dynamics was proposed. In the unified framework the Higgs itself can emerge, depending on the way the electroweak…

We study on the lattice the 3d SU(2)+Higgs model, which is an effective theory of a large class of 4d high temperature gauge theories. Using the exact constant physics curve, continuum ($V\to\infty, a\to 0$) results for the properties of…

In gauge theories, the physical, experimentally observable spectrum consists only of gauge-invariant states. In the standard model the Fr\"ohlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism shows that these states can be adequately mapped to the…

We study SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with massless adjoint matter defined on $M^3\otimes S^1$. The SU(N) gauge symmetry is broken maximally to $U(1)^{N-1}$, independent of the number of flavor and the boundary conditions of the…

We construct the singlet Hilbert space associated with addition of SU(3) generators. This corresponds to the solution of Gauss law in lattice QCD. The normalized basis states are explicitly constructed using Schwinger Bosons. Further, we…

We calculate the masses of the low-lying states with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{++},1^{--}$ in the Higgs and confinement regions of the three-dimensional SU(2) Higgs model, which plays an important r\^ole in the description of the…

Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories (SGUTs) have achieved some degree of success, already present in the minimal models (with SU(5) or SO(10)). However, there are open problems that suggest the need to incorporate more elaborate…

The 3-d Z(2) lattice gauge-Higgs theory is cast in a partial axial gauge leaving a residual Z(2) symmetry, global in two directions and local in one. It is shown both analytically and numerically that this symmetry breaks spontaneously in…

We calculate the low-lying glueball spectrum, some string tensions and some properties of topology and the running coupling for SU(N) lattice gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions. We do so for N = 2,3,...12, using lattice simulations with the…

We consider (continuum) mass ratios of the lightest `glueballs' as a function of N for SO(N) and SU(N) lattice gauge theories in D=2+1. We observe that the leading large N correction is usually sufficient to describe the N-dependence of…

We derive a set of gauge independent gap equations for Higgs boson and vector boson masses for the SU(2) Higgs model in three dimensions. The solutions can be associated with the Higgs phase and the symmetric phase, respectively. In the…

We discuss the logarithmic contributions to the vacuum energy density of the three-dimensional SU(3) + adjoint Higgs theory in its symmetric phase, and relate them to numerical Monte Carlo simulations. We also comment on the implications of…

We study the Abelian Higgs Model using an improved form of the action in the scalar sector. The subleading corrections are carefully analysed and the connection between lattice and continuous parameters is worked out. The simulation shows a…

We study a three dimensional Z(3)-symmetric effective theory of high temperature QCD. The exact lattice-continuum relations, needed in order to perform lattice simulations with physical parameters, are computed to order O(a^0) in lattice…

In this talk I present a discussion of the theoretical bounds on the mass of the Higgs in the Standard Model (SM) as well as in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Then I will point out a few facts about the couplings of…

We use numerical bootstrap techniques to study correlation functions of scalars transforming in the adjoint representation of $SU(N)$ in three dimensions. We obtain upper bounds on operator dimensions for various representations and study…

We study the high-temperature phase of SU(2) and SU(3) QCD using lattice simulations of an effective 3-dimensional SU(N) + adjoint Higgs -theory, obtained through dimensional reduction. We investigate the phase diagram of the 3D theory, and…
