U(1)R mediation from the flux compactification in six dimensions
We consider a supersymmetric completion of codimension‐two branes with nonzero tension in a 6D gauged supergravity. As a consequence, we obtain the football solution with 4D Minkowski space as a new supersymmetric background that preserves 4D N = 1 SUSY. In the presence of brane multiplets, we derive the 4D effective supergravity action for the football background and show that the remaining modulus can be stabilized by a bulk non‐perturbative correction with brane uplifting potentials at a zero vacuum energy. We find that the U(1)R mediation can be a dominant source of SUSY breaking for a brane scalar with nonzero R charge.

Self-tuning solution of the cosmological constant problem with antisymmetric tensor field
We obtain the self-tuning solution of the cosmological constant problem in the Randall-Sundrum model with introducing a three-index antisymmetric tensor field of a specific form in the Lagrangian. We also consider the dual description of the self-tuning solution.

Wave function of the radion in the brane background with a massless scalar field and a self-tuning problem
We consider flat solutions in a brane world model with a massless scalar field appearing in 5D ${H}_{\mathrm{MNPQ}}^{2}.$ Since those solutions have naked bulk singularities or are such that the 4D Planck mass is divergent, we should have a compact extra dimension, the size of which is then fixed by brane tension(s) and the bulk cosmological constant. By inspecting scalar perturbations around the flat solutions, we find that there is no zero mode for the radion and radion modes have only positive masses. This result confirms the fact that the radius of the extra dimension cannot be adjusted independently of the parameters of the model, and thus that the model considered does not solve the problems encountered in other approaches to the self-tuning of the cosmological constant.

Vector Higgs-portal dark matter and the invisible Higgs
The Higgs sector of the Standard Model offers a unique probe of the hidden sector. In this work, we explore the possibility of renormalizable Higgs couplings to the hidden sector vector fields which can constitute dark matter (DM). Abelian gauge sectors with minimal field content, necessary to render the gauge fields massive, have a natural Z2 parity. This symmetry ensures stability of the vector fields making them viable dark matter candidates, while evading the usual electroweak

Various modified solutions of the Randall–Sundrum model with the Gauss–Bonnet interaction
Abstract The Gauss–Bonnet interaction is the only consistent quadratic interaction below the Planck scale in the Randall–Sundrum compactification. We study various static and inflationary solutions including this Gauss–Bonnet interaction.

TeV scale 5D SU(3)W unification and the fixed point anomaly cancellation with chiral split multiplets
A possibility of 5D gauge unification of SU(2)L × U(1)Y in SU(3)W is examined. The orbifold compactification allows fixed points where SU(2)L × U(1)Y representations can be assigned. We present a few possibilities which give long proton lifetime, top-bottom mass hierarchy from geometry, and reasonable neutrino masses. In general, these chiral models can lead to fixed point anomalies. We can show easily, due to the simplicity of the model, that these anomalies are cancelled by the relevant Chern-Simons terms for all the models we consider. It is also shown that the fixed point U(1)-graviton-graviton anomaly cancels without the help from the Chern-Simons term. Hence, we conjecture that the fixed point anomalies can be cancelled if the effective 4D theory is made anomaly free by locating chiral fermions at the fixed points.

Long-Range Lepton Flavor Interactions and Neutrino Oscillations
Recent results from the MINOS accelerator neutrino experiment suggest a possible difference between {nu}{sub {mu}} and {bar {nu}}{sub {mu}} disappearance oscillation parameters, which one may ascribe to a new long distance potential acting on neutrinos. As a specific example, we consider a model with gauged B - L{sub e} - 2L{sub {tau}} number which contains an extremely light new vector boson, m{sub Z}, < 10{sup -18} eV and extraordinarily weak coupling {alpha}{prime} {approx}< 10{sup -52}. In that case, differences between {nu}{sub {mu}} {yields} {nu}{sub {tau}} and {bar {nu}}{sub {mu}} {yields} {bar {nu}}{sub {tau}} oscillations can result from a long-range potential due to neutrons in the Earth and the Sun that distinguishes {nu}{sub {mu}} and {nu}{sub {tau}} on Earth, with a potential difference of {approx} 6 x 10{sup -14} eV, and changes sign for anti-neutrinos. We show that existing solar, reactor, accelerator, and atmospheric neutrino oscillation constraints can be largely accommodated for values of parameters that help explain the possible MINOS anomaly by this new physics, although there is some tension with atmospheric constraints. A long-range interaction, consistent with current bounds, could have very pronounced effects on atmospheric neutrino disappearance in the 20-50 GeV range that will be studied with themore » IceCube DeepCore array, currently in operation, and can have a significant effect on future high-precision long-baseline oscillation experiments which aim for {+-}1% sensitivity, in {nu}{sub {mu}} and {bar {nu}}{sub {mu}} disappearance, separately. Together, these experiments can extend the reach for new long-distance effects well beyond current bounds and test their relevance to the aforementioned MINOS anomaly. We also point out that long-range potentials originating from the Sun could lead to annual modulations of neutrino data at the percent level, due to the variation of the Earth-Sun distance. A similar phenomenology is shown to apply to other potential new gauge symmetries such as L-3L{sub {tau}} and B-3L{sub {tau}}.« less

Bounds on the mass and coupling constant of radion in the Randall–Sundrum theory
Abstract Assuming the Goldberger–Wise mechanism, we investigated the effective potential at the one-loop level in the Randall–Sundrum theory. We found the lower and upper bounds of the radion mass m φ and the radion-SM coupling constant, 0.8 GeV≲ m φ ≲260 GeV and 1400 GeV≲ Λ φ ≲1500 GeV for the one-loop level potential. These bounds were determined from two constraints of warp factor= O ( M W / M Pl ) and Higgs  vev ≃246 GeV, which can produce strong bounds of m φ and Λ φ . It is phenomenologically important that the one-loop allowed upper bound of the radion mass is about five times larger than the tree-level one, but the radion is still lighter than the Kaluza–Klein modes.

Gauged B-x(i)L origin of R parity and its implications
Abstract Gauged B − L is a popular candidate for the origin of the conservation of R parity, i.e. R = ( − ) 3 B + L + 2 j , in supersymmetry, but it fails to forbid the effective dimension-five terms arising from the superfield combinations Q Q Q L , u c u c d c e c , and u c d c d c N c , which allow the proton to decay. Changing it to B − x i L , where x e + x μ + x τ = 3 (with x i ≠ 1 ) for the three families, would forbid these terms while still serving as a gauge origin of R parity. We show how this is achieved in two minimal models with realistic neutrino mass matrices, and discuss their phenomenological implications.

Identifying Sneutrino Dark Matter: Interplay between the LHC and Direct Search
Under R parity, the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is stable and may serve as a good dark matter candidate. The R parity can be naturally introduced with a gauge origin at the TeV scale. We go over why a TeV scale B-L gauge extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model is one of the most natural, if not demanded, low energy supersymmetric models. In the presence of a TeV scale Abelian gauge symmetry, the (predominantly) right-handed sneutrino LSP can be a good dark matter candidate. Its identification at the LHC is challenging because it does not carry any standard model charge. We show how we can use the correlation between the LHC experiments (dilepton resonance signals) and the direct dark matter search experiments (such as CDMS and XENON) to identify the right-handed sneutrino LSP dark matter in the B-L extended minimal supersymmetric standard model.

Dileptons and four leptons at Z′ resonance in the early stage of the LHC
Abstract The LHC era just began. The first discovery at the LHC experiment would be arguably a new resonance pole at TeV scale, if it exists. While the discovery of the Z ′ would be exciting by itself, it may also suggest what other new physics signals should be looked for while the LHC experiment is still at its early stage. We argue that the four lepton resonance at the Z ′ pole is a well-motivated and promising signal especially in supersymmetry framework, which can serve as a supersymmetry search scheme even in the early stage of the LHC experiment.
