Strong Dynamics and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review various models and their phenomenological implications which will be subject to definitive tests in future collider runs at the Tevatron, the LHC, and future linear electron-positron colliders, as well as sensitive studies of rare processes.

Renormalization-group constraints in supersymmetric theories.

TL;DR: This work uses the SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) renormalization-group equations to constrain fermion masses and charged-scalar couplings in supersymmetric grand unified theories.

Riccati equation, Factorization Method and Shape Invariance

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic concepts of factorizable problems in one-dimensional Quantum Mechanics, as well as the theory of Shape Invariant potentials are reviewed, and the relation of this last theory with a generalization of the classical Factorization Method presented by Infeld and Hull is analyzed in detail.

Grand unified supersymmetric Higgs bosons as pseudo-Goldstone particles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the possibility that the Higgs doublet responsible for the breaking of the electroweak gauge group could be quasi-Goldstone bosons of a spontaneously broken approximate global symmetry of the theory.

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.
