Self-induced spectral splits in supernova neutrino fluxes
In the dense-neutrino region above the neutrino sphere of a supernova (r < or approx. 400 km), neutrino-neutrino refraction causes collective flavor transformations. They can lead to 'spectral splits' where an energy E{sub split} splits the transformed spectrum sharply into parts of almost pure but different flavors. Unless there is an ordinary MSW resonance in the dense-neutrino region, E{sub split} is determined by flavor-lepton number conservation alone. Spectral splits are created by an adiabatic transition between regions of large and small neutrino density. We solve the equations of motion in the adiabatic limit explicitly and provide analytic expressions for a generic example.

Probing the seesaw mechanism with neutrino data and leptogenesis
In the framework of the seesaw mechanism with three heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos and no Higgs triplets we carry out a systematic study of the structure of the right-handed neutrino sector. Using the current low-energy neutrino data as an input and assuming hierarchical Dirac-type neutrino masses mDi, we calculate the masses Mi and the mixing of the heavy neutrinos. We confront the inferred properties of these neutrinos with the constraints coming from the requirement of a successful baryogenesis via leptogenesis. In the generic case the masses of the right-handed neutrinos are highly hierarchical: Mi∝mDi2; the lightest mass is M1 ≈ 103−106 GeV and the generated baryon-to-photon ratio ηB10−14 is much smaller than the observed value. We find the special cases which correspond to the level crossing points, with maximal mixing between two quasi-degenerate right-handed neutrinos. Two level crossing conditions are obtained: mee ≈ 0 (1-2 crossing) and d12 ≈ 0 (2-3 crossing), where mee and d12 are respectively the 11-entry and the 12-subdeterminant of the light neutrino mass matrix in the basis where the neutrino Yukawa couplings are diagonal. We show that sufficient lepton asymmetry can be produced only in the 1-2 crossing where M1 ≈ M2 ≈ 108 GeV,M3 ≈ 1014 GeV and (M2−M1)/M210−5.

Multiple spectral splits of supernova neutrinos.
Collective oscillations of supernova neutrinos swap the spectra f(nu(e))(E) and f(nu[over ](e))(E) with those of another flavor in certain energy intervals bounded by sharp spectral splits. This phenomenon is far more general than previously appreciated: typically one finds one or more swaps and accompanying splits in the nu and nu[over ] channels for both inverted and normal neutrino mass hierarchies. Depending on an instability condition, swaps develop around spectral crossings (energies where f(nu(e))=f(nu(x)), f(nu[over ](e))=f(nu[over ](x)) as well as E-->infinity where all fluxes vanish), and the widths of swaps are determined by the spectra and fluxes. Washout by multiangle decoherence varies across the spectrum and splits can survive as sharp spectral features.

ON A POSSIBLE MANIFESTATION OF THE FOUR-COLOR SYMMETRY Z' BOSON IN μ+μ- EVENTS AT THE LHC
The cross section of the μ+μ- pair production in pp-collisions at the LHC is calculated with account of the Z' boson induced by the minimal four-color quark–lepton symmetry (MQLS). The μ+μ- invariant mass spectrum with account of the MQLS Z' boson is analyzed in dependence on the Z' mass. The mass region for the MQLS Z' boson observable at the LHC is found in dependence on the significance and on the integrated luminosity.

Minimal four-color model with quark-lepton symmetry and constraints on the Z{prime}-boson mass
A minimal model with quark-lepton symmetry is considered. This model, which describes unified electroweak and strong interactions, is a minimal extension of the standard model that involves four-color symmetry of quarks and leptons. Predicted relations between the masses of leptoquarks and W{sup +-}, Z, and Z{prime} bosons are studied, and the contributions of an additional Z{prime} boson to the cross sections for e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation and the asymmetry A{sub FB} at TRISTAN and LEP200 energies are analyzed. Experimental data are shown to be consistent with the existence of a relatively light Z{prime} boson associated with four-color quark-lepton symmetry. 12 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.

Fermionic contributions to the three-loop static potential
Abstract We consider the three-loop corrections to the static potential which are induced by a closed fermion loop. For the reduction of the occurring integrals a combination of the Grobner and Laporta algorithm has been used and the evaluation of the master integrals has been performed with the help of the Mellin–Barnes technique. The fermionic three-loop corrections amount to 2% of the tree-level result for top quarks, 8% for bottom quarks and 27% for the charm quark system.

On the resolution of singularities of multiple Mellin–Barnes integrals
One of the two existing strategies of resolving singularities of multifold Mellin–Barnes integrals in the dimensional regularization parameter, or a parameter of the analytic regularization, is formulated in a modified form. The corresponding algorithm is implemented as a Mathematica code MBresolve.m
