We study the stability properties of the twisted vortex solutions in the semilocal Abelian Higgs model with a global $\mathbf{SU}(2)$ invariance. This model can be viewed as the Weinberg-Salam theory in the limit where the non-Abelian gauge…

We consider a holographic description of a system of strongly-coupled fermions in 2+1 dimensions based on a D7-brane probe in the background of D3-branes. The black hole embedding represents a Fermi-like liquid. We study the excitations of…

We discuss stability of Q-balls interacting with fermions in theory with small coupling constant g. We argue that for configurations with large global U(1)-charge Q the problem of classical stability becomes more subtle. For example, in…

We construct type I string models with supersymmetry broken by compactification that are non-tachyonic and have exponentially small effective potential at one-loop. All open string moduli can be stabilized, while the closed string moduli…

We construct models in which electroweak symmetry is spontaneously broken by supersymmetric strong dynamics at the TeV scale. The order parameter is a composite of scalars, and the longitudinal components of the W and Z are strongly-coupled…

The emergence of free fermionic string models with solely the MSSM charged spectrum below the string scale provides further evidence to the assertion that the true string vacuum is connected to the Z_2 x Z_2 orbifold in the vicinity of the…

We address intermediate scales within a class of string models. The intermediate scales occur due to the SM singlets S_i acquiring non-zero VEVs due to radiative breaking; the mass-square (m_i)^2 of S_i is driven negative at mu_{RAD} due to…

The electroweak symmetry is unbroken in the core of cosmic strings originating from a symmetry breaking at an energy higher than the electroweak scale $\eta_{EW}$. The dynamics of such strings may generate a baryon asymmetry below the…

We show that string models with low energy supersymmetry which accommodate the fermion mass hierarchy generally give non-universal soft trilinear couplings (A-terms). In conjunction with the apparently large Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM)…

We investigate the stability of an Fermi ball(F-ball) within the next-to-leading order approximation in the thin wall expansion. We find out that an F-ball is unstable in case that it is electrically neutral. We then find out that an…

We investigate the evolution of small perturbations around charged black strings and branes which are solutions of low energy string theory. We give the details of the analysis for the uncharged case which was summarized in a previous…

In this paper we study the stability of a tree-shaped network of elastic strings and beams with some feedbacks at the ends. The whole system is asymptotically stable. Moreover, the energy of the solution decay exponentially to zero if there…

We derive constraints on the Randall-Sundrum scenario with the standard model fields in the bulk. These result from tree level effects associated with the deformation of the zero mode wave-functions of the W and the Z once electroweak…

Stability and instability bands in classical mechanics are well-studied in connection with systems such as described by the Mathieu equation. We examine whether such band structure can arise in classical field theory in the context of an…

We study the closed string emission from an unstable D$p$-brane with constant background electric field in bosonic string theory. The average total number density and the average total energy density of emitted closed strings are explicitly…

Inspired by recent claims for a varying fine structure constant, alpha, we investigate the effect of ``promoting coupling constants to variables'' upon various parameters of the standard model. We first consider a toy model: Proca's theory…

We hypothesise that all electroweak symmetry breaking terms such as fermion masses and the W and Z gauge boson masses arise radiatively from just one explicit symmetry breaking term in the Lagrangian. Our hypothesis is motivated by the lack…

We investigate the effects of inhomogeneous scalar field configurations on the electroweak phase transition. For this purpose we calculate the leading perturbative correction to the wave function correction term $Z(\vph,T)$, i.e., the…

Perturbative spectra and related factorization properties of one-loop open string amplitudes in the presence of a constant external background B are analysed in detail. While the pattern of the closed string spectrum, obtained after a…

New strong gauge interactions remain a viable source for the electroweak symmetry breaking. However, addressing the generation of fermion masses remains a challenge. A basic observable which provides stringent constraints on the flavor…
