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 show that in the Randall-Sundrum model the Casimir energy of bulk gauge fields (or any of their supersymmetric relatives) has contributions that depend logarithmically on the radion. These contributions satisfactorily stabilize the…

We commence the evaluation of the one- and two-loop binding corrections to the $g factor for an electron in a hydrogenlike system of order alpha^2 (Z alpha)^5 and consider diagrams with closed fermion loops. The one-loop vacuum-polarization…

Quantum mechanical fluctuations in an interval give rise to the Casimir effect, which destabilizes the size of the interval. This can be problematic in constructing Kaluza-Klein theories. We consider the possibility that a breakdown of the…

We propose a simple setup which can stabilize a modulus field of the finite modular symmetry by the Coleman-Weinberg potential. Our scenario leads to a large hierarchy suppressing instanton-like corrections $e^{2\pi i\tau}$ and to a light…

We study the radiative corrections to the stabilization of the complex structure modulus $\tau$ in modular flavor symmetric models. We discuss the possibility of obtaining the vacuum expectation value of $\tau$ in the vicinity of the fixed…

We discuss the bulk Casimir effect (effective potential) for a conformal or massive scalar when the bulk represents five-dimensional AdS or dS space with two or one four-dimensional dS brane, which may correspond to our universe. Using…

In the context of a five dimensional N=1 Kaluza Klein model compactified on S_1/Z_2 x Z_2' we compute the one-loop gauge corrections to the self energy of the (zero-mode) scalar field. The result is quadratically divergent due to the…

Casimir energy is calculated in the 5D warped system. It is compared with the flat one. The position/ momentum propagator is exploited. A new regularization, called {\it sphere lattice regularization}, is introduced. It is a direct…

We consider type IIB flux compactifications on six-dimensional SU(2)-structure manifolds with O5- and O7-planes. These six-dimensional spaces allow not only for F_3 and H_3 fluxes but also for F_1 and F_5 fluxes. We derive the…

The Casimir energy of an infinite compact cylinder placed in a uniform unbounded medium is investigated under the continuity condition for the light velocity when crossing the interface. As a characteristic parameter in the problem the…

We examine the large volume compactification of Type IIB string theory or its F theory limit and the associated supersymmetry breakdown and soft terms. It is crucial to incorporate the loop-induced moduli mixing, originating from radiative…

We compute radiative corrections in five and six dimensional field theories, using winding modes in mixed momentum-coordinate space. This method provides a simple way of finding UV divergencies, finite corrections and localized terms when…

It is shown for a class of random, time-independent, square-integrable, three-dimensional magnetic fields that the one-loop effective fermion action of four-dimensional QED increases faster than a quadratic in B in the strong coupling…

We construct a new 2-parameter family of static topological solitons in 5D minimal supergravity which are endowed with magnetic charge and mass. The solitons are asymptotically ${\mathbb R}^4\times S^1$, where the radius of the $S^1$ has a…

We discuss the modulus stabilization by the Casimir energy and various effects of IR-brane kinetic terms for the gauge fields in a gauge-Higgs unification model in the warped spacetime, where the Wilson line phase $\theta_H$ is determined…

We consider the effects of a gas of closed strings (treated quantum mechanically) on a background where one dimension is compactified on a circle. After we address the effects of a time dependent background on aspects of the string spectrum…

We calculate the quantum corrections to the mass of the zero mode of the fifth component of the gauge field at two-loop level in a five dimensional massless QED compactified on S^1. We discuss in detail how the divergences are exactly…

We study two-dimensional quantum gravity on arbitrary genus Riemann surfaces in the Kaehler formalism where the basic quantum field is the (Laplacian of the) Kaehler potential. We do a careful first-principles computation of the fixed-area…

We point out that 5D large radius doubly spinning black rings with rotation along S^1 and S^2 are afflicted by a robust instability. It is triggered by superradiant bound state modes. The Kaluza-Klein momentum of the mode along the ring is…
