A new kind of constraints on renormalization schemes
We derive a new kind of physical constraints on the subtraction schemes for theories with massive particles in addition to the Ward identities for gauge symmetries. The momentum subtraction scheme fails this criterion. The decoupling of heavy fields is discussed in the context of Callan-Symanzik equations where all schemes (including MOM) lead to the same pattern of decoupling with inevitable discontinuities in beta function across heavy field thresholds.

Confinement of Higgs bosons from hidden symmetry and convexity
In the full effective potential (EFP) approach, we find that spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) can, with the convexity of the full EFP, lead to the prediction of the IR confinement of Higgs particles, adding difficulty to the experimental identification of Higgs particles. The short distance behaviors remain intact. The whole presentation is given in the understanding that any QFT becomes UV well defined in a more complete underyling theory according to a recently proposed strategy.

Padé Expansion and the Renormalization of Nucleon–Nucleon Scattering
The importance of imposing physical boundary conditions on the T-matrix to remove the nonperturbative renormalization prescription dependence is stressed and demonstrated in two diagonal channels 1P1 and 1D2, with the help of Pade expansion.

Can QFT be UV finite as well as effective
A new attempt is demonstrated that QFTs can be UV finite if they are viewed as the low energy effective theories of a fundamental underlying theory (complete and well-defined in all respects) according to the modern standard point of view. This approach is much simpler in principle and in technology comparing to any known renormalization program. Some subtle and difficult issues can be easily resolved. The importance of the procedure for defining the ambiguities is fully appreciated in the new approach. Some simple but important nonperturbative examples are discussed to show the power and plausibility of the new approach.

Harmonic scaling laws and underlying structures
Based on the effective field theory philosophy, a universal form of the scaling laws could be easily derived with the scaling anomalies naturally clarified as the decoupling effects of underlying physics. In the novel framework, the conventional renormalization group equations and Callan-Symanzik equations could be reproduced as special cases and a number of important and difficult issues around them could be clarified. The underlying theory point of view could envisage a harmonic scaling law that help to fix the form of the loop amplitudes through anomalies, and the heavy field decoupling can be incorporated in this underlying theory approach in a more unified manner.

Supersymmetric QCD corrections to single top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron
We evaluate the supersymmetric QCD corrections to single top quark production via q{bar q}{sup {prime}}{r_arrow}t{bar b} at the Fermilab Tevatron in the minimal supersymmetric model. We find that within the allowed range of squark and gluino masses the supersymmetric QCD corrections can enhance the cross section by a few percent. The combined effects of SUSY QCD, SUSY EW, and the Yukawa couplings can exceed 10{percent} for the smallest allowed tan{beta}({approx_equal}0.25) but are only a few percent for tan{beta}{gt}1. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Lepton-specific two-Higgs-doublet model: Experimental constraints and implication on Higgs phenomenology
We examine various direct and indirect constraints on the lepton-specific two-Higgs-doublet model and scrutinize the property of the Higgs bosons in the allowed parameter space. We find that in the allowed parameter space the CP-odd Higgs boson A is rather light (m(A) AA -> 4 tau with a large decay width, which will make the Higgs discovery more difficult at the LHC, whereas this scenario predicts a branching ratio Br(Z -> tau(+) tau(-) A) ranging from 10(-5) to 10(-4), which may be accessible at the GigaZ option of the International Linear Collider.

New physics effects on top quark spin correlation and polarization at the LHC: A comparative study in different models
Extensions of the standard model often predict new chiral interactions for top quarks, which will contribute to top quark spin correlation and polarization in t (t) over bar production at the LHC. In this work, under the constraints from the current Tevatron measurements, a comparative study of the spin correlation and polarization is performed in three new physics models: the minimal supersymmetric model without R-parity, the third-generation enhanced left-right model, and the axigluon model. We find that the polarization asymmetry may be enhanced to the accessible level in all these models, while the correction to the spin correlation may be detectable in the axigluon model and the minimal supersymmetric model without R-parity with lambda '' couplings.

Virtual effects of split-SUSY in Higgs productions at linear colliders
In split supersymmetry, gauginos and higgsinos are the only supersymmetric particles possibly accessible at foreseeable colliders like the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the International Linear Collider (ILC). In order to account for the cosmic dark matter measured by WMAP, these gauginos and higgsinos are stringently constrained and could be explored at the colliders through their direct productions and/or virtual effects in some processes. The clean environment and high luminosity of the ILC render the virtual effects at percent level meaningful in unraveling the new physics effects. In this work we assume split supersymmetry and calculate the virtual effects of the WMAP-allowed gauginos and higgsinos in the Higgs productions e+e-→Zh and e+e-→νeν̄eh through WW fusion at the ILC. We find that the production cross section of e+e-→Zh can be altered by a few percent in some part of the WMAP-allowed parameter space, while the correction to the WW fusion process e+e-→νeν̄eh is below 1%. Such virtual effects are correlated with the cross sections of chargino pair productions and can offer complementary information in probing split supersymmetry at the colliders.

Semi-direct Gauge-Yukawa mediation
We propose semi-direct Gauge-Yukawa mediation of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking. The messenger fields mediating SUSY breaking to the visible sector do not directly couple with the goldstino field, and instead they have gauge and Yukawa interactions with some primary messenger fields which couple directly with the goldstino fields. From the explicit Feynman diagram calculations for the SUSY breaking soft masses, we find that the SUSY particle spectra can be realistic. Especially, this generalization of semi-direct gauge mediation solves the massless gaugino mass problem since the holomorphic soft mass terms of the messenger fields can be generated by Yukawa couplings. We also provide some arguments that this scenario can be realized naturally in some dynamical SUSY-breaking models such as the ISS-like model.
