Exact Solutions to Three-Dimensional Schrödinger Equation with an Exponentially Position-Dependent Mass

TL;DR: In this paper, the exact solution of the Schrodinger equation for an exponentially position-dependent mass was obtained by using coordinate transformation method for the reference problems with Coulomb potential, Kratzer potential, and spherically square potential well of infinite depth.

The μ term and neutrino masses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss anomaly-free discrete symmetries which are compatible with SU(5) unification of matter and the Giudice-Masiero mechanism, i.e. forbid the μ term in the superpotential while allowing the necessary Kahler potential term.

Solvable coupled channel problems from supersymmetric quantum mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct solbable coupled channel problems using techniques related to factorizability and supersymmetry, and express the scattering solution of the coupled problem as superposition of scattering states of a decoupled problem.

Holonomy Saddles and Supersymmetry

TL;DR: In this article, a supersymmetric gauge theory in d dimensions tends to reduce in the small radius limit to a disjoint sum of multiple (d-1) dimensional theories at distinct holonomies, called H-saddles.

Grand unification with large supersymmetry breaking

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give general criteria for the magnitudes of mass splittings between supersymmetric partners compatible with the desired hierarchy of mass scales in GUTs.

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
