TLDR
The theory of internal supersymmetry was first introduced by Ne'eman and Fairlie independently in 1979 and its various developments since then including applications and predictions of the theory to elementary particle physics as mentioned in this paper.

Renormalization of the Abelian Higgs-Kibble Model

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gravity and Unification: A review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review various classical unified theories of gravity and other interactions that have appeared in the literature, paying special attention to scenarios in which spacetime remains four-dimensional, while an "internal" space is enlarged.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Higgs mass and the emergence of new physics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the physical implications of formulating the electroweak part of the Standard Model in terms of a superconnection involving the supergroup SU ( 2 / 1 ).

SU(2/1) superchiral self-duality: a new quantum, algebraic and geometric paradigm to describe the electroweak interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the Yang-Mills paradigm from Lie algebras to internal chiral superalgesas is proposed, where the superalgebra is replaced by a super-algebra-valued polyform, mixing exterior forms of all degrees and satisfying the chiral self-duality condition.

Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak scale is generated from the Planck scale through an exponential hierarchy, but this exponential arises not from gauge interactions but from the background metric, which is a slice of spacetime.

An Alternative to compactification

TL;DR: In this paper, a single 3-brane embedded in five dimensions was shown to reproduce four-dimensional Newtonian and general relativistic gravity to more than adequate precision, even without a gap in the Kaluza-Klein spectrum.

The quantum theory of fields

TL;DR: Weinberg as discussed by the authors presented a self-contained, up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to supersymmetry, a highly active area of theoretical physics, including supersymmetric algebras.

Magnetic monopoles in unified gauge theories

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in all those gauge theories in which the electromagnetic group U(1) is taken to be a subgroup of a larger group with a compact covering group, like SU(2) or SU(3), genuine magnetic monopoles can be created as regular solutions of the field equations.
