Aharonov-Bohm effect on noncommutative plane: A Coherent state approach
Abstract We formulate in a systematic manner the coherent state approach and apply it to study Aharonov–Bohm effect in the field theory context. Within this approach, we verify that the scattering amplitude is ultraviolet finite. Also, we prove that introduction of a quartic self-interaction for the scalar field allows to obtain a smooth commutative limit.

Equivalence between supersymmetric self-dual and Maxwell–Chern–Simons models coupled to a matter spinor superfield
Abstract We study the duality of the supersymmetric self-dual and Maxwell–Chern–Simons theories coupled to a fermionic matter superfield, using a master action. This approach evades the difficulties inherent to the quartic couplings that appear when matter is represented by a scalar superfield. The price is that the spinorial matter superfield represents a unusual supersymmetric multiplet, whose main physical properties we also discuss.

Free energy of Lorentz-violating QED at high temperature
In this paper we study the one- and two-loop contribution to the free energy in QED with Lorentz symmetry breaking introduced via constant CPT-even Lorentz-breaking parameters at the high temperature limit. We find the impact of the Lorentz-violating term for the free energy and carry out a numerical estimation for the Lorentz-breaking parameter.

Lorentz violation and the proper-time method
Abstract In this Letter, we apply the proper-time method to generate the Lorentz-violating Chern–Simons terms in the four-dimensional Yang–Mills and non-linearized gravity theories. It is shown that the coefficient of the induced Chern–Simons term is finite but regularization dependent.

Horava-Lifshitz-like extensions of supersymmetric theories
Within the superfield approach, we formulate two different extensions of the Wess-Zumino model and super-QED with Horava-Lifshitz-like additive terms, discuss their quantum properties and calculate lower contributions to the effective action. In the case of the gauge theory, the one-loop effective potential turns out to be gauge independent.

Effective potential for a SUSY Lee–Wick model: The Wess–Zumino case
Using a superfield generalization of the tadpole method, we study the one-loop effective potential for a Wess–Zumino model modified by a higher derivative term, inspired by the Lee–Wick model. The one-loop Kahlerian potential is also obtained by other methods and compared with the effective potential.

Searching for New Physics with Charm
I provide a comprehensive review of indirect searches for New Physics with charmed mesons. I discuss current theoretical and experimental challenges and successes in understanding decays and mixings of those mesons. I argue that in many New Physics scenarios strong constraints, that surpass those from other search techniques, could be placed on the allowed model parameter space using the existent data from studies of charm transitions. This has direct implications for direct searches of physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC.

X(3872): Hadronic molecules in effective field theory
Abstract We consider the implications from the possibility that the recently observed state X ( 3872 ) is a meson–antimeson molecule. We write an effective Lagrangian consistent with the heavy-quark and chiral symmetries needed to describe X ( 3872 ) . We explore the consequences of the assumption that X ( 3872 ) is a molecular bound state of D ∗ 0 and D ¯ 0 mesons for the existence of bound states in the D 0 D ¯ 0 and D ∗ 0 D ¯ ∗ 0 channels.

Implications of final state interactions in B-decays
I give a brief review of final state interactions (FSI) in heavy meson decays, paying particular attention to B-meson physics. Available theoretical methods for dealing with the effects of FSI are discussed.
