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.

Soliton mass and discrete coupling constants in the quantized sine-Gordon model
The soliton mass in the quantized sine-Gordon model over the whole range of the coupling constant (g2 from 0 to 8 pi ) is evaluated by means of the Gaussian effective potential method. The analytical expression with numerical results is presented. The authors find that the coupling constant g can only take discrete values. A new kind of soliton linking g Phi =0 to g Phi = pi emerges at a set of special coupling constants g.

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.

Renormalization of EFT for nucleon-nucleon scattering
The renormalization of EFT for nucleon-nucleon scattering in nonperturbative regimes is investigated in a compact parametrization of the $T$-matrix. The key difference between perturbative and nonperturbative renormalization is clarified. The underlying theory perspective and the 'fixing' of the prescriptions for the $T$-matrix from physical boundary conditions are stressed.

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.

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.

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.

Effective CP-violating operators of the tau lepton and some of their phenomenologies
The dimension-six {ital CP}-violating SU{sub L}(2){times}U{sub Y}(1) invariant operators involving the tau lepton are studied. The constraints from the available experimental data on tau dipole moments are derived. Under the current constraints, the induced {ital CP}-violating effects could possibly be observed in {tau}{r_arrow}3{pi}{nu}{sub {tau}} at the future tau-charm factory. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}

Phase structure of Abelian Higgs model on a lattice: an analytical analysis
The variational cumulant expansion is extended to d-dimensional U(1) gauge theory with radially active Higgs fields in the fundamental representation. The phase structures are given for d=3 and d=4 cases. A comparison with Monte Carlo and mean field results is also presented.

THE PHASE-TRANSITION GENERATED BY RADIAL MODE OF THE HIGGS FIELD IN LATTICE Z(2) GAUGE-HIGGS MODEL
We study the 4-dimensional lattice Z(2) gauge-Higgs theory in the variational cumulant expansion approach. It is shown that the existence of the first order phase transition between Higgs and confinement regions is fundamentally dependent on the fluctuation of the radial mode of the scalar (Higgs) field.

Late-decaying Q-ball with BBN lifetime
In the Affleck-Dine mechanism of baryogenesis, nontopological solitons called Q-balls can be formed. In this work we propose that such Q-balls decay during the BBN era and study the cosmological consequence of such late decays. We find that the late-decaying baryonic Q-balls with lifetime of about 10(3) s can provide a new developing mechanism for the BBN through a rolling baryon-to-photon ratio eta, which can naturally explain the discrepancy of the BBN prediction with the WMAP data on Li-7 abundance. For the late-decaying leptonic Q-balls with lifetime of about 10(6) s, we find that their decay product, gravitinos, can serve as a dark matter candidate and give an explanation for the approximate equality of dark and baryon matter densities.
