Chiral anomaly and unambiguous rational terms
Through more detailed calculations on QED$_{1+1}$ and QED$_{3+1}$ emplying a new treatment of Feynman Amplitudes, we attribute the regularization independent and hence definite origin of chiral anomaly in perturbation theory to an unambiguous term which is a rational function in momentum space. Some relevant remarks are presented.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SUSY dark matter in light of CDMS II results: a comparative study for different models
We perform a comparative study of the neutralino dark matter scattering on nucleon in three popular supersymmetric models: the minimal (MSSM), the next-to-minimal (NMSSM) and the nearly minimal (nMSSM). First, we give the predictions of the elastic cross section by scanning over the parameter space allowed by various direct and indirect constraints, which are from the measurement of the cosmic dark matter relic density, the collider search for Higgs boson and sparticles, the precision electroweak measurements and the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Then we demonstrate the property of the allowed parameter space with/without the new limits from CDMSII. We obtain the following observations: (i) For each model the new CDMS limits can exclude a large part of the parameter space allowed by current collider constraints; (ii) The property of the allowed parameter space is similar for MSSM and NMSSM, but quite different for nMSSM; (iii)For each model the future SuperCDMS can cover most of the allowed parameter space given that all soft breaking parameters are below 1 TeV.

Gravitino dark matter from gluino late decay in split supersymmetry
In split-supersymmetry (split-SUSY), gluino is a metastable particle and thus can freeze out in the early universe. The late decay of such a long-life gluino into the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) may provide much of the cosmic dark-matter content. In this work, assuming the LSP is gravitino produced from the late decay of the metastable gluino, we examine the Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe (WMAP) dark-matter constraints on the gluino mass. We find that to provide the full abundance of dark matter, the gluino must be heavier than about 14 TeV and thus not accessible at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC).

Lepton flavor violating Z-boson decays at GigaZ as a probe of supersymmetry
AbstractThis paper briefly reviews the lepton flavor violating Z-decays at GigaZ as a probe of supersymmetry by focusing on Z → ℓi$$
\bar \ell 
$$j in two representative supersymmetric models: the minimal supersymmetric model without R-parity and the supersymmetric seesaw model. The work concludes that under the current experimental constraints from LEP and ℓi → ℓjγ, these rare decays can still be enhanced to reach the sensitivity of the GigaZ. Therefore, supersymmetry can be probed via these decays at GigaZ.
