Generating small sterile neutrino masses via the same seesaw mechanism that suppresses active neutrino masses requires a specific structure in the neutral fermion mass matrix. We present a model where this structure is enforced by a new…

Models that involve extra dimensions have introduced completely new ways of looking up on old problems in theoretical physics. The aim of the present notes is to provide a brief introduction to the many uses that extra dimensions have found…

We describe general classes of 6D and 4D F-theory models with gauge group $(\operatorname{SU}(3) \times \operatorname{SU}(2) \times \operatorname{U}(1)) / \mathbb{Z}_6$. We prove that this set of constructions gives all possible consistent…

The complete matrix element for $e^+e^-\rightarrow b\bar b W^+W^-$ is computed at tree-level within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Rates of interest to phenomenological analyses at the Next Linear Collider are given. In…

If decays of a heavy particle S are responsible for the diphoton excess with invariant mass 750 GeV observed at the 13 TeV LHC run, it can be easily accomodated in the Standard Model. Two scenarios are considered: production in gluon fusion…

The fake supergravity method is applied to 5-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetimes containing gravity coupled to a real scalar and an abelian gauge field. The motivation is to obtain bulk solutions with R x S^3 symmetry in order to…

The generalized supersymmetries admitting abelian bosonic tensorial central charges are classified in accordance with their division algebra structure (over ${\bf R}$, ${\bf C}$, ${\bf H}$ or ${\bf O}$). It is shown in particular that in…

The generation of a baryon-antibaryon asymmetry in the Universe via gravitational baryogenesis is investigated for two f(R) modified theories of gravity, the widely used Starobinsky $f(R)=R+R^{2}/M^{2}$ model, and the recently proposed…

We present a unified approach to (bi-)orthogonal basis sets for gravitating systems. Central to our discussion is the notion of mutual gravitational energy, which gives rise to the self-energy inner product on mass densities. We consider a…

We construct solutions of type-II supergravity based on multiple copies and/or mixings of $\lambda$-deformed coset CFTs on $\mathrm{SO}(n+1)_k/\mathrm{SO}(n)_k$, with $n = 2, 3, 4$. The resulting ten-dimensional geometries contain…

We present a complete quantization of Lorentzian D=1+2 gravity with cosmological constant, coupled to a set of topological matter fields. The approach of Loop Quantum Gravity is used thanks to a partial gauge fixing leaving a residual gauge…

We introduce a designer approach for extended Brans-Dicke gravity that allows us to obtain the evolution of the scalar field by fixing the Hubble parameter to that of a $w$CDM model. We obtain analytical approximations for $\phi$ as a…

Topological euclidean gravity is built in eight dimensions for manifolds with $Spin(7) \subset SO(8)$ holonomy. In a previous work, we considered the construction of an eight-dimensional topological theory describing the graviton and one…

Due to its high mass and short lifetime, the top quark plays an important role in checking the Standard Model of particle physics. In this report, we pr\ esent a variety of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, involving top…

Motivated by the possible di-gamma resonance at 750 GeV, we present a basis of effective operators for the Standard Model plus a scalar singlet at dimensions 5, 6, and 7. We point out that an earlier list at dimensions 5 and 6 contains two…

We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model with two singlet scalar fields and three heavy right-handed neutrinos. One of the scalar fields serves as an MeV scale dark matter and its stability is ensured by the introduction of an…

We present a complete and non-redundant basis of effective operators for the Standard Model Effective Field Theory up to mass dimension 12 with three generations of fermions. We also include operators coupling to gravity via the Weyl…

We study structure formation in phenomenological models in which the Friedmann equation receives a correction of the form $H^{\alpha}/r_c^{2-\alpha}$, which realize an accelerated expansion without dark energy. In order to address structure…

In considering the nature of the basic mathematical structures appropriate for describing the fundamental elements of particle physics a significant role for the octonions, as an extension from the complex numbers and uniquely the largest…

Recently, the scalar-tensor representation of $f (R,T)$ gravity was used to explore gravitationally induced particle production/annihilation. Using the framework of irreversible thermodynamics of open systems in the presence of matter…
