Anisotropic flow of identified particles in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}} =$ 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector
The measurement of anisotropic flow of identified particles, including charged pion, kaon, (anti-)proton as well as strange and multi-strange particles (${\rm K_{S}^{0}}$, ${\rm \Lambda}$, ${\rm \Xi}$ and ${\rm \Omega}$) are measured in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{{\rm NN}}}}$ = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector. The results are compared to measurements at RHIC and hydrodynamic model calculations. The mass splitting and the scaling with the number of constituent quarks of the anisotropic flow are also discussed.

Generic framework for anisotropic flow analyses with multiparticle azimuthal correlations
We present a new generic framework which enables exact and fast evaluation of all multi-particle azimuthal correlations. The framework can be readily used along with a correction framework for systematic biases in anisotropic flow analyses due to various detector inefficiencies. A new recursive algorithm has been developed for higher order correlators for the cases where their direct implementation is not feasible. We propose and discuss new azimuthal observables for anisotropic flow analyses which can be measured for the first time with our new framework. Effects of finite detector granularity on multi-particle correlations are quantified and discussed in detail. We point out the existence of a systematic bias in traditional differential flow analyses which stems solely from the applied selection criteria on particles used in the analyses, and is also present in the ideal case when only flow correlations are present. Finally, we extend the applicability of our generic framework to the case of differential multi-particle correlations.

From Liouville to Chern-Simons, Alternative Realization of Wilson Loop Operators in AGT Duality
We propose an SL(2,R) Chern-Simons description of Liouville field theory (LFT), whose correlation function duals to partition function of N=2 SU(2) gauge theories. We give the dual expressions for conformal blocks, fusion rules, and Wilson loop operators in Chern-Simons theory. By realizing Wilson loop operator in Liouville as a Hopf link in S^3 on which lives an SL(2,R) Chern-Simons theory, we obtain an alternative description of monodromy of this loop operator in Liouville field theory as the ratio of link invariants. We show how to calculate t'Hooft loops in the simplest example -- the N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The results we obtained are consistant with those in 0909.0945 and 0909.1105.

Neutrino masses and flavor mixing in a generalized inverse seesaw model with a universal two-zero texture
A generalized inverse seesaw model, in which the 9 x 9 neutrino mass matrix has vanishing (1,1) and (1,3) submatrices, is proposed. This is similar to the universal two-zero texture which gives vanishing (1,1) and (1,3) elements of the 3 x 3 mass matrices in both the charged lepton and neutrino sectors. We consider the Z(6) x Z(6) group to realize such texture zeros in the framework of the generalized inverse seesaw model. We also analyze the universal two-zero texture in the general case and propose two Ansatze to reduce the number of free parameters. Taking account of the new result of theta(13) from the Daya Bay experiment, we constrain the parameter space of the universal two-zero texture in the general case and in the two Ansatze, respectively. We find that one of the Ansatze works well.

N=4$$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ Super-Yang-Mills on conic space as hologram of STU topological black hole
A bstractWe construct four-dimensional N=4$$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ super-Yang-Mills theories on a conic sphere with various background R-symmetry gauge fields. We study free energy and supersymmetric Rényi entropy using heat kernel method as well as localization technique. We find that the universal contribution to the partition function in the free field limit is the same as that in the strong coupling limit, which implies that it may be protected by supersymmetry. Based on the fact that, the conic sphere can be conformally mapped to S1×ℍ3$$ {\mathbb{S}}^1\times {\mathrm{\mathbb{H}}}^3 $$ and the R-symmetry background fields can be supported by the R-charges of black hole, we propose that the holographic dual of these theories are five-dimensional, supersymmetric STU topological black holes. We demonstrate perfect agreement between N=4$$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ super-Yang-MillstheoriesintheplanarlimitandtheSTUtopologicalblackholes.

Implications from recent measurements on sin 2 beta and muon g-2
The recent data on CP asymmetry in $B->J/\Psi K_S$ and muon g-2 are discussed in the framework of standard model and beyond. Possible new phase effects besides the CKM phase are discussed in the processes concerning CP violation in B decays and muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g-2). It is found that the new phases will result in difference between angles $beta$ measured from $B->J/\Psi K_S$ and the one from global fit. The ration between them serves as a probe of not only new physics but also new phase besides the CKM phase In the case of muon g-2, the new phase may change the interferences between various contributions. By including the new phases, some cancelations in the real coupling cases can be avoided and the large value of muon g-2 observed in the recent measurements can be understood.

Two Higgs bi-doublet left-right model with spontaneous P and CP violation
A left-right symmetric model with two Higgs bi-doublet is shown to be a consistent model for both spontaneous P and CP violation. The flavor changing neutral currents can be suppressed by the mechanism of approximate global U(1) family symmetry. The constraints from neural K meson mass difference ΔmK are calculated and it is demonstrated that a right-handed gauge boson W2 contribution in box-diagrams with mass well below 1 TeV is allowed due to a cancelation caused by a light-charged Higgs boson with a mass range of 150–300 GeV. The W2 contribution to εK can be suppressed from an appropriate choice of additional CP phases appearing in the right-handed Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. The model is also found to be fully consistent with B0 mass difference ΔmB and the mixing induced CP violation sin2βJ/ Ψ, which is usually difficult for the model with only one Higgs bi-doublet. The new physics beyond the standard model can be directly searched at the colliders LHC and ILC.
