This paper is concerned with the spectral analysis of a Hamiltonian with a $\delta$-interaction supported along a broken line with angle $\theta$. The bound states with energy slightly below the threshold of the essential spectrum are…
Supersymmetric grand unified theories with non-universal soft supersymmetry breaking terms are studied. By integrating out the superheavy fields at an unification scale, we compute their low-energy effective Lagrangian. We find new…
We have observed a softening of phonons and a structural phase transition in a superconducting Ba0.59K0.41BiO3 (Tc = 31 K) single crystal using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering measurements. The soft phonon occurs for the [111]…
The two-dimensional random gauge \xy model, where the quenched random variables are magnetic bond angles uniformly distributed within $[-r\pi, r\pi]$ ($0 \leq r \leq 1$), is studied via Monte Carlo simulations. We investigate the phase…
We study the electroweak phase transition in the minimal extension of the Standard Model: an extra complex singlet with zero vacuum expectation value. The first-order phase transition is strengthened by the cubic term triggered in the…
The zero temperature, or quantum, metal-superconductor phase transition is studied in disordered systems in dimension greater than two. A effective local field theory is developed that keeps all soft modes or fluctuations explicitly. A…
We analyze the impact of the $\theta$-angle and axion dynamics for two-color (in fact any $Sp(2N)$) QCD at nonzero baryon charge and as a function of the number of matter fields on the vacuum properties, the pattern of chiral symmetry…
After briefly reviewing the nonperturbative dynamics of N=1 supersymmetric field theories, soft SUSY breaking mass terms are introduced into the SUSY gauge theories and their effects on gauge symmetry breaking pattern are studied. For…
Phase transition dynamics may play important roles in the evolution history of the early universe, such as its possible roles in electroweak baryogenesis and dark matter.We systematically discuss and clarify the important details of the…
We analyze the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters obtained in grand unified theories after integrating out the heavy GUT-states. The superfield formalism greatly simplifies the calculations and allows us to derive the low-energy…
Supersymmetric relations between dimensionless couplings receive finite correction at one-loop when supersymmetry is broken softly. We calculate the $O(\alpha_s)$ correction to the squark decay width to a quark and an electroweak gaugino,…
An effective theory for the soft field modes in hot QCD has been obtained recently by integrating out the field modes of momenta of order T and g T. The mean hard particle distribution obeys a transport equation with a collision term. The…
The dynamics of first order phase transitions are studied in the context of (3+1)-dimensional scalar field theories. Particular attention is paid to the question of quantifying the strength of the transition, and how `weak' and `strong'…
Shape-averaged magnetoconductance (weak localization) is used for the first time to obtain the electron phase coherence time $\tau_{\phi}$ in open ballistic GaAs quantum dots. Values for $\tau_{\phi}$ in the range of temperature T from…
We consider phase transitions, in the form of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) bifurcations of solitons, in dual-core couplers with fractional diffraction and cubic self-focusing acting in each core, characterized by Levy index $\alpha$.…
Symmetry-breaking transitions are a well-understood phenomenon of closed quantum systems in quantum optics, condensed matter, and high energy physics. However, symmetry breaking in open systems is less thoroughly understood, in part due to…
The soft modes in the two- and eight-direction order-disorder ferroelectrics are calculated under the mean-field approximation. We find that the conventional method of the pseudospin model to calculate the soft-mode frequency is incorrect,…
We investigate the occurrence of a phase transition, characterized by the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry, in a driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard lattice in presence of two-photon coherent driving. The driving term does not lift…
We discuss homogeneous nucleation in a first-order chiral phase transition within an effective field theory approach to low-energy QCD. Exact decay rates and bubble profiles are obtained numerically and compared to analytic results obtained…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking has revolutionized the understanding in numerous fields of modern physics. Here, we theoretically demonstrate the spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking in a cavity quantum electrodynamics system in which…
