Meson effects on the chiral symmetry breaking and restoration
Based on the self-consistent chiral symmetric scheme of the SU(2) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, the meson effects have been investigated on the chiral symmetry breaking vacuum and chiral symmetry restoration by exactly calculating the next-to-leading (NLO) order Feynman diagrams in the 1/Nc expansion.

THERMAL RELAXATION TIME IN CHEMICALLY NON-EQUILIBRATED QUARK-GLUON PLASMA
The definition of thermal relaxation time is extended to chemically non-equilibrated quark-gluon plasma and the chemical non-equilibrated thermal relaxation times for partons are calculated using the non-equilibrium Debye mass as the infrared regulator. The dependence of the thermal relaxation time on the fugacity is given and the influence of the chemical non-equilibration is discussed. We find that there are threshold fugacities lambda(g)* and lambda(q)* for gluons and quarks. for lambda(g) lambda(g)*(lambda(q) > lambda(q)*), ratios are almost 1. It is shown that there is also the two-stage equilibration in a chemically non-equilibrated plasma. We also discussed the effect of using the non-equilibrium Debye mass as the infrared cutoff.

The mesonic fluctuations and corrections in the chiral symmetry breaking vacuum
Abstract The mesonic quantum fluctuations and their corrections on the chiral condensate and pion polarization function are investigated in the self-consistent scheme of SU(2) Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model by exactly calculating the next-to-leading order (NLO) Feynman diagrams in 1/ N c expansion. While the fluctuations and corrections depend strongly on the meson's three-momentum cut-off Λ M , no chiral symmetry restoration is found since the cancellation between the NLO and the one-quark-loop diagram with quark mass deviated from the mean-field value.

GCP Code Applied in $J/\psi$ Production and Absorption
Using the General Cascade Program(GCP), the production and absorption of $J/\psi$ in p-A and A-A collisions have been studied. Nucleon absorption mechanism and comover absorption mechanism are considered to investigate the $J/\psi$ suppression. The results agree well with experimental data of $J/\psi$ production, except for the data in Pb-Pb collision.

Neutrino mixing and leptogenesis in type-II seesaw scenarios with left-right symmetry
Abstract We propose two type-II seesaw scenarios for the neutrino mass matrix in the left–right symmetric model, in which the Higgs triplet Yukawa coupling matrix takes the appealing Friedberg–Lee texture. We show that the nearly tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern, which is especially favored by current neutrino oscillation data, can be obtained from both scenarios. We also show that the cosmological baryon number asymmetry can naturally be interpreted in these two scenarios via the flavor-independent leptogenesis mechanism.

Neutrino Masses and A TeV Scale Seesaw Mechanism
A simple extension of the standard model providing a TeV-scale seesaw mechanism is presented. Beside the standard model particles and right-handed Majorana neutrinos, the model contains a singly charged scalar, an extra Higgs doublet, and three vectorlike singly charged fermions. In our model, Dirac neutrino mass matrix raises only at the loop level. Small but nonzero Majorana neutrino masses come from integrating out heavy Majorana neutrinos, which can be at the TeV-scale. The phenomenologies of the model are investigated, including scalar mass spectrum, neutrino masses and mixings, lepton flavor violations, heavy neutrino magnetic moments as well as possible collider signatures of the model at the LHC.

GRAVITATIONAL EFFECTS IN BUBBLE COLLISIONS
We investigate the effects of gravitation in the collision of two bubbles in the very early universe, using the thin-wall approximation. In general, the collision of two bubbles gives rise to modulus wall and a phase wave. The space-time metric and all physical quantities possess hyperbolic O(2,1) symmetry. We derive a generalized Birkhoff's theorem to show that the space-time in different regions must therefore be flat, de Sitter, pseudo-Schwarzschild, and pseudo-Schwarzschild-de Sitter, respectively. As in the spherically symmetric O(3) case, the space-time is Petrov type $D$, and so there is no gravitational radiation. Owing to the special symmetry of the space-time, the concentration of matter does not suffice to cause any gravitational collapse to a singularity no matter how severely the two bubbles collide. The modulus walls, viewed from the real vacuum region, eventually propagate outwards with kinks due to a series of collisions, in contrast to the situation in the absence of gravity.

Pure Leptonic Gauge Symmetry, Neutrino Masses and Dark Matter
Abstract A possible extension of the Standard Model to include lepton number as local gauge symmetry is investigated. In such a model, anomalies are canceled by two extra fermions doublet. After leptonic gauge symmetry spontaneously broken, three active neutrinos may acquire non-zero Majorana masses through the modified Type-II seesaw mechanism. Constraints on the model from electro-weak precision measurements are studied. Due to the Z 2 discrete flavor symmetry, right-handed Majorana neutrinos can serve as cold dark matter candidate of the Universe. Constraint from dark matter relic abundance is calculated.

Space-time is four-dimensional
The quantum state of the universe is described by Hartle and Hawking's ground state which is defined by a path integral over all compact metrics. The most probable classical evolution of the universe can be considered to come from some gravitational instanton by a quantum tunneling. These arguments have been generalized to the case of Kaluza-Klein models. It is found that in d= 11 simple supergravity, with a minisuperspace ansatz, all instantons must have a four dimensional sector. It suggests that this is the main reason why space-time is four-dimensional.
