Two Loop Computation of a Running Coupling in Lattice Yang-Mills Theory
We compute the two loop coefficient in the relation between the lattice bare coupling and the running coupling defined through the Schroedinger functional for the case of pure SU(2) gauge theory. This result is needed as one computational component to relate the latter to the MSbar-coupling, and it allows us to impleme...

Compact U(1) Lattice Gauge-Higgs Theory with Monopole Suppression
We investigate a model of a U(1)-Higgs theory on the lattice with compact gauge fields but completely suppressed (elementary) monopoles. We study the model at two values of the quartic Higgs self-coupling, a strong coupling, $\lambda = 3.0$, and a weak coupling, $\lambda=0.01$. We map out the phase diagrams and find th...

A Strong-Coupling Analysis of the Lattice $CP^{N-1}$ Models in the Presence of a $θ$ Term
A $\theta$ term, which couples to topological charge, is added to the lattice $CP^{N-1}$ model. The strong-coupling character expansion is developed. The series for the free energy and mass gap are respectively computed to tenth order and fourth order. Several features of the strong-coupling analysis emerge. One is the...

Strongly coupled U(1) lattice gauge theory as a microscopic model of Yukawa theory
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in a strongly coupled U(1) lattice gauge model with charged fermions and scalar is investigated by numerical simulation. Several composite neutral states are observed, in particular a massive fermion. In the vicinity of the tricritical point of this model we study the effective Yukawa...

Towards a lattice determination of the $B^\ast B π$ coupling
The coupling $g_{B^\ast B \pi}$ is related to the form factor at zero momentum of the axial current between $B^\ast$- and $B$-states. This form factor is evaluated on the lattice using static heavy quarks and light quark propagators determined by a stochastic inversion of the fermionic bilinear. The $\gBBP$ coupling is...

Helicity modulus as renormalized coupling in the O(3) sigma-model
For the family of O(n) invariant nonlinear sigma-models we consider boundary conditions that are periodic up to an O(n) rotation. The helicity modulus is related to the change in free energy under variations of the corresponding angle. It defines a nonperturbative finite volume running coupling similar to the Schr"odin...

An example of optimal field cut in lattice gauge perturbation theory
We discuss the weak coupling expansion of a one plaquette SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We show that the conventional perturbative series for the partition function has a zero radius of convergence and is asymptotic. The average plaquette is discontinuous at g^2=0. However, the fact that SU(2) is compact provides a pertu...

Dark Matter with Variable Masses
String effective theories contain a dilaton scalar field which couples to gravity, matter and radiation. In general, particle masses will have different dilaton couplings. We can always choose a conformal frame in which baryons have constant masses while (non--baryonic) dark matter have variable masses, in the context ...

Third Generation Effects on Fermion Mass Predictions in Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories
Relations among fermion masses and mixing angles at the scale of grand unification are modified at lower energies by renormalization group running induced by gauge and Yukawa couplings. In supersymmetric theories, the $b$ quark and $\tau$ lepton Yukawa couplings, as well as the $t$ quark coupling, may cause significant...

Determination of $Z'$ Gauge Couplings to Quarks and Leptons at Future Hadron Colliders
We point out that at future hadron colliders the ratio of cross sections for $pp\to Z'\to \ell^+\ell^-$ in two rapidity bins is a useful probe of the relative couplings of the $Z'$ to $u$ and $d$ quarks. Combined with the forward-backward asymmetry, the rare decay modes $Z'\to W \ell\nu_\ell$, and three associated prod...

Tests on the Hierarchy of Trilinear and Quadrilinear Weak Bosons Couplings at the NLC and Comparison with the LHC/SSC
I first review a few basic guiding principles that lead to the notion of a hierarchy of couplings in searches of New Physics involving weak bosons processes. The hierarchies within a linear and a non-linear realization of symmetry breaking are compared to the usual {\em phenomenological} parameterization of the $WWV$ v...

Hadron collider limits on anomalous $WWγ$ couplings
A next-to-leading log calculation of the reactions $pp$ and $p\overline{p}\rightarrow W^\pm\gamma X$ is presented including a tri-boson gauge coupling from non-Standard Model contributions. Two approaches are made for comparison. The first approach considers the tri-boson $WW\gamma$ coupling as being uniquely fixed by ...

Nucleosynthesis and the Time Dependence of Fundamental Couplings
We consider the effects of the time dependence of couplings due to their dependence on a dilaton field, as occurs in superstring theory, as well as in gravity theories of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke type. Because the scale parameters of couplings set by dimensional transmutation depend exponentially on the dilaton vev, we m...

Predictions of the Top mass in Mininal Supersymmetric Left-Right Model
The one-loop evolution of Yukawa couplings in the minimal supersymmetric left-right model (MSUSYLR) model with a wide variation of the right handed breaking scale $M_R$ from 1 TeV to $10^{18}$ GeV is studied assuming that all third generation Yukawa couplings are equal and in the fixed point domain of the top quark Yua...

Bounds on $ΔB=1$ Couplings in the Supersymmetric Standard Model
The most general supersymmetric model contains baryon number violating terms of the form $\lambda_{ijk}\;\ov{D}_i\, \ov{D}_j\, \ov{U}_k$ in the superpotential. We reconsider the bounds on these couplings, assuming that lepton number conservation ensures proton stability. These operators can mediate $n - \ov{n}$ oscilla...

Strong-coupling expansions for chiral models of electroweak symmetry breaking
We consider chiral $U(N)\times U(N)$ models with fermions in the limit of infinitely large local bare Yukawa coupling. When the scalar field is subject to non-linear constraint, phase transitions in these models are seen to be identical to those in the corresponding purely bosonic ones. Relaxing the non-linear constrai...

Gauge Coupling Unification and the Top Mass in String Models with $SU(4)\times O(4)$ Symmetry

We express $sin^2\theta_W$ and $a_3$ as functions of the calculable string threshold differences and discuss simple examples of spectra which ret...

LEP- and low energy-bounds on R-parity-violating supersymmetric Yukawa couplings
Electroweak precision data at LEP are used to place bounds on some $\lambda'$-type ($L$-violating) and $\lambda''$-type ($B$-violating) $R$-parity violating supersymmetric Yukawa couplings. We consider one-loop corrections (triangles and self-energies) induced by these couplings to the $Z$-partial widths. The couplings...

In this paper we do an analysis of the reaction $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-$ for various options of the Next Linear Colliders (NLC), by considering the possibility of deviations from the Standard Model induced by anomalous trilinear vector boson couplings and non-standard fermionic couplings. We show that there are strong correl...

Subtractive Renormalization of Strong-Coupling Quenched QED in Four Dimensions
We study renormalized quenched strong-coupling QED in four dimensions in arbitrary covariant gauge, in the Dyson-Schwinger equation formalism. Above the chiral critical coupling, we show that there is no finite chiral limit. This behaviour is found to be independent of the detailed choice of proper vertex, provided tha...

Predictions of $m_b/m_τ$ and $m_t$ in an Asymptotically Non-Free Theory
We discuss an extention of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with the 4th and anti-4th generations which have $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ invariant masses. Due to the the extra generations, all three running gauge couplings become asymptotically non--free while preserving gauge coupling unification at the GUT...

Forward-backward asymmetry in e+e- -> nu nubar Z from anomalous CP-odd WWZ couplings
Anomalous CP-odd W+W-Z couplings can give rise to a forward-backward asymmetry in the Z angular distribution in the e+e- centre-of-mass frame in the process e+e- -> nu nubar Z. Of the three CP-odd couplings possible, only the imaginary part of one of the couplings, f_4^Z, which is C odd and P even, contributes to the f...
