TL;DR: In this article, the Higgs sector of supersymmetric models with an additional SU(2)×U(1)Y singlet or an additional pair of Higgs doublet superfields is investigated.
Abstract: The Higgs sector of supersymmetric models with an additional SU(2)×U(1)Y singlet or an additional pair of Higgs doublet superfields is investigated. It is shown that in the model with a Higgs singlet bounds on Higgs boson masses are considerably weaker than in the minimal supersymmetric model; in particular, all neutral scalars can be heavier than about 150 GeV or lighter than $M_Z/\sqrt{2}$, whereas the mass of the charged Higgs boson is essentially unconstrained. The four doublet model resembles the minimal model more closely; in particular, the bounds for the heaviest and lightest neutral scalar and the heaviest charged Higgs boson are unaltered. In this model, many relations between masses of different Higgs bosons can be found; 44 of the 66 possible decays of one Higgs boson into another Higgs boson plus a real W or Z boson are kinematically forbidden. It is also shown that in both models, the lightest neutral scalar becomes indistinguishable from the standard model Higgs boson if all other Higgs bos...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the Lorentz gauge condition to define quasidiabatic states and show that the recently proposed block diagonalization method leads automatically to the Lipschitz gauge locally.
Abstract: Following previous works [Moody et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 893 (1986) and Zygelman, Phys. Lett. A 125, 476 (1987)], we review in some detail the gauge theoretical form of the Born–Oppenheimer description of molecules. The derivative couplings which describe nonadiabatic effects play the role of gauge potentials. Applying the gauge theoretical formalism (well known in particle physics), we rederive a theorem concerning the nonexistence of strictly diabatic states. Further we propose the Lorentz gauge condition to define quasidiabatic states. We show that the recently proposed block diagonalization method to obtain quasidiabatic states leads automatically to the Lorentz gauge locally.

TL;DR: In this paper, the anomalous dimension γm of the operator $\bar \psi\psi$ is calculated on the full critical line in the ladder QED with four-fermion interaction, and the applications of these theories to the technicolor models are discussed.
Abstract: In the ladder QED with four-fermion interaction, the anomalous dimension γm of the operator $\bar \psi\psi$ is calculated on the full critical line. It is shown that in the nonperturbative phase with the gauge coupling α(0) 1) near the critical line. This suggests that gauge theories with fourfermion interaction may be renormalizable. The applications of these theories to the technicolor models are discussed.

TL;DR: An electroweak theory in which left-handed quarks and leptons transform as doublets under separate SU(2) gauge groups is presented, which predicts small deviations in the properties of the /ital Z/ which will be visible at the SLAC Linear Collider and the CERN collider LEP.
Abstract: We present an electroweak theory in which left-handed quarks and leptons transform as doublets under separate SU(2) gauge groups. Spontaneous symmetry breakdown results in two charged and two neutral massive vector bosons. The lightest charged and neutral gauge bosons behave like the /ital W/ and /ital Z/ of the standard SU(2)/times/U(1) electroweak model. The heavier /ital W/ and /ital Z/, which can be as light as several hundred GeV, couple primarily to quarks. Our theory predicts small deviations in the properties of the /ital Z/ which will be visible at the SLAC Linear Collider and the CERN collider LEP.

TL;DR: A supersymmetric extension of the standard strong and electroweak gauge model has the property that light quarks and leptons acquire radiative masses as the result of the breaking of a chiral symmetry by soft supersymmetry-breaking terms.
Abstract: A supersymmetric extension of the standard strong and electroweak gauge model has the property that light quarks and leptons acquire radiative masses as the result of the breaking of a chiral symmetry by soft supersymmetry-breaking terms. This radiative mechanism is then extended to include all known quarks and leptons in the context of a supersymmetric SU(3)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}SU(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}U(1)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}U(1)' gauge model based on ${\mathrm{E}}_{6}$ particle content as the possible low-energy limit of a superstring theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that superconductivity in strongly correlated electronic systems described by the Hubbard model for slightly less than half-filled band is derived from the condensation of charge + e holons which are bosons.
Abstract: Superconductivity in the strongly correlated electronic systems described by the Hubbard model for slightly less than half-filled band is shown to arise from the condensation of charge + e holons which are bosons. The holon effective mass is found to be very close to that of the band electrons and they have a strong nearest neighbour repulsion induced by the spin fluctuations. They interact with an U(1) part of the collective SU(2) gauge field (named S-gauge field) of the spin system. This results in spontaneous symmetry breaking of the holon field and the appearance of the Anderson-Higgs phenomenon. The interesting possibility of the SU(2) gauge field-spinon coupled system retaining some gapless excitation spectrum inspite of the spontaneous symmetry breaking in the holon field is pointed out.

TL;DR: The spectrum of massive neutral gauge bosons consist of the ${Z}^{0}$ of the standard electroweak model and two additional neutral bosons with mass lower bounds of 120 and 210 GeV which makes these particles prospective candidates for production in the energy regimes of the CERN LEP, Fermilab Tevatron, and the Superconducting Super Collider.
Abstract: The possibility that gauge symmetries associated with baryon and lepton numbers are spontaneously broken symmetries of nature is entertained. In this endeavor, the gauge group of electroweak interactions is SU(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}U${(1)}^{3}$. Consistent with neutral-current phenomenology, the spectrum of massive neutral gauge bosons consist of the ${Z}^{0}$ of the standard electroweak model and two additional neutral bosons with mass lower bounds of 120 and 210 GeV which makes these particles prospective candidates for production in the energy regimes of the CERN LEP, Fermilab Tevatron, and the Superconducting Super Collider.
