Pseudo Hermitian Interactions in the Dirac Equation
We consider a (2 + 1)-dimensional massless Dirac equation in the presence of complex vector potentials. It is shown that such vector potentials (leading to complex magnetic fields) can produce bound states, and the Dirac Hamiltonians are η-pseudo Hermitian. Some examples have been explicitly worked out.

On supersymmetry and random sources
We evaluate the one loop effective potential for the supersymmetric Higgs model in the presence of a gaussian random source and examine supersymmetry breaking at the one loop level.

'Stringy' Coherent States Inspired By Generalized Uncertainty Principle
Abstract Coherent States with Fractional Revival property, that explicitly satisfy the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP), have been constructed in the context of Generalized Harmonic Oscillator. The existence of such states is essential in motivating the GUP based phenomenological results present in the literature which otherwise would be of purely academic interest. The effective phase space is Non-Canonical (or Non-Commutative in popular terminology). Our results have a smooth commutative limit, equivalent to Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The Fractional Revival time analysis yields an independent bound on the GUP parameter. Using this and similar bounds obtained here, we derive the largest possible value of the (GUP induced) minimum length scale. Mandel parameter analysis shows that the statistics is Sub-Poissonian. Correspondence Principle is deformed in an interesting way. Our computational scheme is very simple as it requires only first order corrected energy values and undeformed basis states.

Motion of a spin-½ particle in shape invariant scalar and magnetic fields
We study the motion of a spin-½ particle in a scalar as well as a magnetic field within the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We also introduce the concept of shape invariant scalar and magnetic fields and it is shown that the problem admits exact analytical solutions when such fields are considered.

A new class of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians with real spectra
Abstract We investigate complex PT-symmetric potentials, associated with quasi-exactly solvable non-Hermitian models involving polynomials and a class of rational functions. We also look for special solutions of intertwining relations of SUSY quantum mechanics providing a partnership between a real and a complex PT-symmetric potential of the kind mentioned above. We investigate conditions sufficient to ensure the reality of the full spectrum or, for the quasi-exactly solvable systems, the reality of the energy of the finite number of levels.

Supersymmetric anyon quantum mechanics
Abstract We develop a framework for anyons within supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We prove that supersymmetry can be realized spectrally but necessarily requires a contact interaction which modifies in a specific way the usual regularity condition of the wavefunction at the origin.

A General Treatment of Oblique Parameters
A re-examination is made of one-loop oblique electroweak corrections. General definitions are given of the oblique parameters without reference to any q2 expansion scheme. The old oblique parameters S, T and U are defined as differences of gauge boson vacuum polarization Π functions and suffice for describing certain observable ratios on the Z peak and the ρ parameter at q2 = 0. Regarding the new oblique parameters V, W and X, the first two are defined in terms of differences of Π functions as well as the wave function renormalization of the corresponding weak boson, and the third in terms of the difference of differences of two Π functions for γ - Z mixing. Explicit expressions for measurable quantities involving all six oblique parameters are given and experimental bounds are obtained on the latter, some for the first time. A review of these constraints suggests that the linear approximation of Peskin and Takeuchi is robust.

Unitarity limit on the gaugino-gravitino mass ratio
Abstract The imposition of tree-level unitarity at all energies upto the Planck scale on the amplitude for the scattering of two gauge bosons into two gravitinos is shown to put an upper bound on the ratio between gaugino and gravitino masses. The absolute masses of the lightest gauge singlet scalar and pseudoscalar bosons are also bounded from above.

An operatorially solved model of massless two-dimensional quantum chromodynamics
An operator solution is constructed in (1,1) dimensions to the massless quantum chromodynamics of n fermion quarks and n2 − 1 vector boson gluons with local colour SU(n) symmetry. The interacting quark field is a confined SU(n) Thirring field with zero Abelian coupling. The colour gluons are dependent Lie fields obeying the gluon-free fermionic current identity. Explicit local infinitesimal operator colour transformations (with an arbitrary coordinate-independent Lorentz vector coefficient defining the gauge) are given and the requirement of proper colour covariance linked to the vanishing of the coloured quark source currents and hence to the absence of coloured quark-composite states. The status of Noether's theorem is also clarified.
