Bosonization of lattice fermions.
For any purely fermionic system on a lattice in arbitrary space dimension we prove that there is a different but well-defined system on the same lattice, consisting of both [ital bona] [ital fide] fermions and bosons with an interaction depending on a parameter [lambda], which characterizes a same-site repulsion between particles. The energy spectrum and the scattering matrix of the former are identical to those in the finite energy sector of the latter, in the limit [lambda][r arrow][infinity] (i.e., hard-core repulsion). This general theorem is applied to a resonance-boson model in a lattice fermion system, whose solution may have relevance to high-[ital T][sub [ital c]] superconductivity.

Gauge field fluctuations and first-order phase transition in color superconductivity.
We study the gauge field fluctuations in dense quark matter and determine the temperature of the induced first-order phase transition to the color-superconducting phase in weak coupling. We find that the local approximation of the coupling between the gauge potential and the order parameter, employed in the Ginzburg-Landau theory, has to be modified by restoring the full momentum dependence of the polarization function of gluons in the superconducting phase.

Electromagnetic properties of generalized Majorana particles.
We prove a theorem stating that a massive Majorana particle (a CPT-self-conjugate particle) with arbitrary spin J can possess only an anapole moment and multipoles of that. We also show that massless Majorana particles, except those of spin (1/2, do not have any single-photon electromagnetic form factor.

Color Superconductivity in a Dense Quark Matter
The color superconductivity of a dense quark matter is reviewed with emphasis on the long range nature of the pairing force and the multiplicity of the order parameter. The former gives rise to a non BCS behavior of the superconducting energy scale and the latter modifies the critical value of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter that separates the superconductivity of type I and that of type II.

Linearized analysis of the Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati brane model
Abstract We solve the Einstein equations in the Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati model with a static, spherically symmetric matter distribution on the physical brane and obtain an exact expression for the gravitational field outside the source to the first order in the gravitational coupling. Although, this expression when confined on the physical brane reproduces the correct 4− D Newtonian potential for distances r s ⪡ r ⪡ λ , where λ is a characteristic length scale of the model, it does not coincide with the standard linearized form of the 4− D Schwarzschild metric. The solution reproduces the 5− D Schwarzschild metric in the linearized approximation for r ⪢ λ .

WZW model based on the extended de Sitter group
We study the WZW model based on the centrally extended 2D de Sitter algebra. We obtain the spacetime metric and its explicitly conformally flat expression. The symmetries of the spacetime are found by identifying the Killing vectors with the group generators. The energy-momentum tensor obtained from the affine-Sugawara construction agrees with that from the more conventional approach. The exact center charge agrees to one-loop order with the one-loop beta function equations. We have also studied the representations of the corresponding enveloping Virasoro algebra.

A neural network clustering algorithm for the ATLAS silicon pixel detector
A novel technique to identify and split clusters created by multiple charged particles in the ATLAS pixel detector using a set of artificial neural networks is presented. Such merged clusters are a common feature of tracks originating from highly energetic objects, such as jets. Neural networks are trained using Monte Carlo samples produced with a detailed detector simulation. This technique replaces the former clustering approach based on a connected component analysis and charge interpolation. The performance of the neural network splitting technique is quantified using data from proton-proton collisions at the LHC collected by the ATLAS detector in 2011 and from Monte Carlo simulations. This technique reduces the number of clusters shared between tracks in highly energetic jets by up to a factor of three. It also provides more precise position and error estimates of the clusters in both the transverse and longitudinal impact parameter resolution.
