Hopf Textures
A Hopf texture is a vacuum field configuration of isovector fields which is an onto map from the space as a large three sphere to the vacuum manifold $S^2$. We construct a Hopf texture with spherically symmetric energy density and discuss the topological charge. A Hopf texture collapses, and we study the collapse proce...

On the phase transition in the scalar theory
The basic tool for the study of the electroweak phase transition is $V_{eff} (\phi,T)$, the one-loop finite-temperature effective potential, improved by all-loop resummations of the most important infrared contributions. In this paper we perform, as a first step towards a full analysis of the Standard Model case, a det...

Walking Technicolor and Electroweak Radiative Corrections
We examine the effect of walking technicolor dynamics on the electroweak $S$ parameter and contrast it with the effect of QCD-like technicolor dynamics. Our main tools are the operator product expansion for the high-momentum behavior of the electroweak gauge boson vacuum polarizations and the analyticity of these polar...

Accidental Approximate Generation Universality and its Possible Verification
The universality of $e-\mu-\tau$ interactions may only be an accidental approximate symmetry analogous to that of flavor SU(2) and SU(3). This was specifically realized by an extension of the standard model proposed in 1981. Two key predictions are that the $\tau$ lifetime should be longer and that the $\rho$ parameter...

Fixing the Top-Quark and Higgs-Boson Masses
If the quadratic divergence of the standard electroweak model and its local variation with mass scale are both assumed to be zero, then a modified one-loop calculation yields m_t = 117 GeV and m_H = 183 GeV. Such a scenario may be the result of an underlying theory to be revealed at a much higher mass scale.

Z' Decays into Four Fermions
If a new $Z'$ is discovered with a mass $\sim 1 \ TeV$ at LHC/SSC, its (rare) decays into two charged leptons plus missing transverse energy will probe the $Z'$ coupling to the lepton doublet $(\nu,e)_L$ and to $W^+W^-$, allowing further discrimination among extended electroweak models.

$\theta$ Bag and Quark Confinement
We propose $\theta$ bag through the wall separating $\theta=0$ and $\theta=\pi$. $\theta$ may or may not be a dynamical field generating the wall. For a massive pseudo scalar $\theta$, we present a two Higgs doublet model. We also presnt an idea for quark confinement within this $\theta$ bag scheme.

Nonfactorizable Amplitudes in Weak Nonleptonic Decays of Heavy Mesons
We discuss nonfactorizable $1/N_c$ contributions in the amplitudes of non-leptonic exclusive decays of the type $B\rightarrow D\pi$ ($N_c$ is the number of colors). In a certain kinematical limit rather reliable estimates are possible. It is demonstrated that the nonfactorizable parts are of the same order as the facto...

A General Lower Bound for Radiative B Decay
In a wide class of models -- including the standard model -- flavor-changing neutral currents are suppressed by an approximate chiral symmetry of the low-energy lagrangian. This symmetry allows the derivation of general relations among low-energy flavour-changing processes. We derive one such: the relative sizes of the...
