In this paper, the perturbative renormalization of the abelian Higgs-Kibble model is studied within the class of renormalizable gauges which are odd under charge conjugation.Abstract:
This article is devoted to the perturbative renormalization of the abelian Higgs-Kibble model, within the class of renormalizable gauges which are odd under charge conjugation. The Bogoliubov Parasiuk Hepp-Zimmermann renormalization scheme is used throughout, including the renormalized action principle proved by Lowenstein and Lam. The whole study is based on the fulfillment to all orders of perturbation theory of the Slavnov identities which express the invariance of the Lagrangian under a supergauge type family of non-linear transformations involving the Faddeev-Popov ghosts. Direct combinatorial proofs are given of the gauge independence and unitarity of the physicalS operator. Their simplicity relies both on a systematic use of the Slavnov identities as well as suitable normalization conditions which allow to perform all mass renormalizations, including those pertaining to the ghosts, so that the theory can be given a setting within a fixed Fock space. Some simple gauge independent local operators are constructed.read more

The TeV physics of strongly interacting W's and Z's
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the general signatures of a strongly interacting W, Z system and conclude that these two possibilities can be unambiguously distinguished by a hadron collider facility capable of observing the enhanced production of WW, WZ and ZZ pairs that will occur if W's and Z's have strong interactions.

XEFT, the challenging path up the hill: dim = 6 and dim = 8
TL;DR: In this article, the impact and interpretation of dim = 6 and dim = 8 operators within the context of the SMEFT was examined in the light of known theoretical results, including the role of tadpoles when constructing XEFT at NLO, heavy light contributions to the low energy limit of theories containing bosons and fermions, one-loop matching, EFT fits and their interpretation and effective field theory interpretation of derivative-coupled field theories.

Dyson-Schwinger equation and quantum phase transitions in massless QCD
TL;DR: In this article, the stability of the highest symmetric solution of Dyson-Schwinger equations in chiral limit and at zero temperature was studied and it was shown that if the chemical potential is not very large, the QCD vacuum is in the chiral symmetry breaking phase.
