Low-energy behaviour of realistic locally-supersymmetric grand unified theories

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the SI(2)×U(1) breaking is a consequence of radiative corrections of the supergravity induced soft breaking terms, i.e. it is caused by the radiative correction of the soft breaking term of the SU(5) unification group.

The Higgs Sector of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the Higgs spectrum of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model is examined, which includes a singlet Higgs field S in addition to the two Higgs doublets of the minimal extension.

Explicit wavefunctions for shape-invariant potentials by operator techniques

TL;DR: In this article, the wavefunctions of all known shape-invariant potentials were given explicit expressions for all the known wave functions by using the operator method, and the expressions for the wave functions of all possible wave functions were obtained for all possible shapes.

CP violation and R invariance in supersymmetric models of strong and electroweak interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the general structure of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model of strong and electroweak interactions was investigated, and the hypothesis of a partially conserved R current suppresses also the transition μ→eγ as well as dimension-5, B -and L -conserving operators.

Factorization: little or great algorithm?

TL;DR: The progress of the factorization method since the 1935 work of Dirac is briefly reviewed in this article, where the authors suggest that factorization seems an autonomous "driving force", offering substantial support to the present day Darboux and Backlund approaches.

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.
