Deconfined quantum criticality and generalized exclusion statistics in a non-Hermitian BCS model
We present a pairing Hamiltonian of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer form which exhibits two quantum critical lines of deconfined excitations. This conclusion is drawn using the exact Bethe ansatz equations of the model which admit a class of analytic solutions. The deconfined excitations obey generalized exclusion statistics. A notable property of the Hamiltonian is that it is non-Hermitian. Although it does not have a real spectrum for all choices of coupling parameters, we provide a rigorous argument to establish that real spectra occur on the critical lines. The critical lines are found to be invariant under a renormalization group map.

Construction of basis vectors for symmetric irreducible representations of O(5) $ \supset$ O(3)
Abstract.A recursive method for the construction of symmetric irreducible representations of $ O(2l+1)$ in the $ O(2l+1)\supset O(3)$ basis for identical boson systems is proposed. The formalism is realized based on the group chain $ U(2l+1)\supset U(2l-1)\otimes U(2)$ , of which the symmetric irreducible representations are simply reducible. The basis vectors for symmetric irreducible representations of the $ O(2l+1)\supset O(2l-1)\otimes U(1)$ can easily be constructed from those of U(2l + 1) $ \supset$U(2l - 1) ⊗ U(2) $ \supset$O(2l - 1) ⊗ U(1) with no l -boson pairs, namely with the total boson number exactly equal to the seniority number in the system, from which one can construct symmetric irreducible representations of $ O(2l+1)$ in the $ O(2l-1)\otimes U(1)$ basis when all symmetric irreducible representations of O(2l - 1) are known. As a starting point, basis vectors of symmetric irreducible representations of O(5) are constructed in the $ O_{1}(3)\otimes U(1)$ basis, where $ O_{1}(3)\equiv O(2l-1)$ , when l = 2 , which is generated not by the angular momentum operators of the d -boson system, but by the operators constructed from d -boson creation (annihilation) operators $ d^{\dagger}_{\mu}$ ( $ d_{\mu}$ with $ \mu=1$ , 0, -1 . Matrix representations of $ O(5)\supset O_{1}(3)\otimes U(1)$ , together with the elementary Wigner coefficients, are presented. After the angular momentum projection, a three-term relation in determining the expansion coefficients of the $ O(5)\supset O(3)$ basis vectors, where the O(3) group is generated by the angular momentum operators of the d -boson system, in terms of those of $ O_{1}(3)\otimes U(1)$ is derived. The eigenvectors of the projection matrix with zero eigenvalues constructed according to the three-term relation completely determine the basis vectors of $ O(5)\supset O(3)$ . Formulae for evaluating the elementary Wigner coefficients of $ O(5)\supset O(3)$ are derived explicitly. Analytical expressions of some elementary Wigner coefficients of $ O(5)\supset O(3)$ for the coupling $ (\tau 0)\otimes(1 0)$ with resultant angular momentum quantum number L = 2$ \tau$ + 2 - k for $ k=0,2,3,\ldots,6$ with a multiplicity 2 case for k = 6 are presented.

Elliptic Gaudin models and elliptic KZ equations
The Gaudin models based on the face-type elliptic quantum groups and the XYZ Gaudin models are studied. The Gaudin model Hamiltonians are constructed and are diagonalized by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz method. The corresponding face-type Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations and their solutions are given.

Local Quasitriangular Hopf Algebras
We find a new class of Hopf algebras, local quasitriangular Hopf algebras, which generalize quasitriangular Hopf algebras. Using these Hopf algebras, we obtain solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation in a systematic way. The category of modules with finite cycles over a local quasitriangular Hopf algebra is a braided tensor category.

Infinite Families of Gauge-Equivalent R-Matrices and Gradations of Quantized Affine Algebras
Associated with the fundamental representation of a quantum algebra such as Uq(A1) or Uq(A2), there exist infinitely many gauge-equivalent R-matrices with different spectralparameter dependences. It is shown how these can be obtained by examining the infinitely many possible gradations of the corresponding quantum affine algebras, such as and , and explicit formulae are obtained for those two cases. Spectral-dependent similarity (gauge) transformations relate the R-matrices in different gradations, Nevertheless, the choice of gradation can be physically significant, as is illustrated in the case of quantum affine Toda field theories.

Phase Structure of Strange Matter in a Non-topological Soliton Model
A non-topological soliton model with strange quarks is suggested to investigate the phase structure of strange matter. The results are qualitatively in agreement with that obtained by MIT bag model provided the ratio of coupling constants of different quarks to soliton scalar field chi(sigma) = g(s sigma)/g(q sigma) larger than a critical value chi(c) similar to 0.86, but as chi(sigma) gets smaller than chi(c), the phase structure may change.

Electroweak cogenesis
A bstractWe propose a simple renormalizable model of baryogenesis and asymmetric dark matter generation at the electroweak phase transition. Our setup utilizes the two Higgs doublet model plus two complex gauge singlets, the lighter of which is stable dark matter. The dark matter is charged under a global symmetry that is broken in the early universe but restored during the electroweak phase transition. Because the ratio of baryon and dark matter asymmetries is controlled by model parameters, the dark matter need not be light. Thus, new force carriers are unnecessary and the symmetric dark matter abundance can be eliminated via Higgs portal interactions alone. Our model places a rough upper bound on the dark matter mass, and has implications for direct detection experiments and particle colliders.

Pair production of 125 GeV Higgs boson in the SM extension with color-octet scalars at the LHC
A bstractAlthough the Higgs boson mass and single production rate have been determined more or less precisely, its other properties may deviate significantly from its predictions in the standard model (SM) due to the uncertainty of Higgs data. In this work we study the Higgs pair production at the LHC in the Manohar-Wise model, which extends the SM by one family of color-octet and isospin-doublet scalars. We first scanned over the parameter space of the Manohar-Wise model considering experimental constraints and performed fits in the model to the latest Higgs data by using the ATLAS and CMS data separately. Then we calculated the Higgs pair production rate and investigated the potential of its discovery at the LHC14. We conclude that: (i) Under current constrains including Higgs data after Run I of the LHC, the cross section of Higgs pair production in the Manohar-Wise model can be enhanced up to even 103 times prediction in the SM. (ii) Moreover, the sizable enhancement comes from the contributions of the CP-odd color-octet scalar $ S_I^A $. For lighter scalar $ S_I^A $ and larger values of |λI|, the cross section of Higgs pair production can be much larger. (iii) After running again of LHC at 14 TeV, most of the parameter spaces in the Manohar-Wise model can be test. For an integrated luminosity of 100 fb−1 at the LHC14, when the normalized ratio R = 10, the process of Higgs pair production can be detected.

Screening of cosmological constant in non-local cosmology
We consider a model of non-local gravity with a large bare cosmological constant, Λ, and study its cosmological solutions. The model is characterized by a function f(ψ) = f0eαψ, where ψ = □-1R and α is a real dimensionless parameter. In the absence of matter, we find an expanding universe solution a ∝ tn with n αcr ≈ 0.17. This is quite a weak condition. We argue that the solution is stable against the inclusion of matter fields. Thus our solution opens up new possibilities for solution to the cosmological constant problem.

Perturbative unitarity constraints on general W' models and collider implications
We study perturbative unitarity constraints on general W 0 models by considering the high energy behavior of fermion scattering into gauge bosons. In most cases we survey, a Z 0 boson with a comparable mass must be present for the theory to be consistent, with xed couplings to the standard model gauge bosons and fermions. Applying these results to a class of W 0 models which explains the top quark forward{backward asymmetry observed at the Tevatron, we nd that a Z 0 must exist with a mass below 7 8 TeV and sizable coupling to the light quarks. While such a Z 0 is strongly constrained by existing experiments, we show that the LHC can explore the entire mass range up to the unitarity limit. We also show how it is possible, by raising the Z 0 mass consistent with unitarity, to explain the CDF Wjj excess in terms of a light W 0 , without generating an excess in Zjj events.
