Supersymmetry for Fermion Masses
It is proposed that supersymmetry (SUSY) maybe used to understand fermion mass hierarchies. A family symmetry Z_{3L} is introduced, which is the cyclic symmetry among the three generation SU(2) doublets. SUSY breaks at a high energy scale ~ 10^{11} GeV. The electroweak energy scale ~ 100 GeV is unnaturally small. No additional global symmetry, like the R-parity, is imposed. The Yukawa couplings and R-parity violating couplings all take their natural values which are about (10^0-10^{-2}). Under the family symmetry, only the third generation charged fermions get their masses. This family symmetry is broken in the soft SUSY breaking terms which result in a hierarchical pattern of the fermion masses. It turns out that for the charged leptons, the tau mass is from the Higgs vacuum expectation value (VEV) and the sneutrino VEVs, the muon mass is due to the sneutrino VEVs, and the electron gains its mass due to both Z_{3L} and SUSY breaking. The large neutrino mixing are produced with neutralinos playing the partial role of right-handed neutrinos. |V_{e3}| which is for nu_e-nu_{tau} mixing is expected to be about 0.1. For the quarks, the third generation masses are from the Higgs VEVs, the second generation masses are from quantum corrections, and the down quark mass due to the sneutrino VEVs. It explains m_c/m_s, m_s/m_e, m_d>m_u and so on. Other aspects of the model are discussed.

A Supersymmetric model with the gauge symmetry SU(3)(1) x SU(2)(1) x U(1)(1) x SU(3)(2) x SU(2)(2) x U(1)(2)
A supersymmetric model with two copies of the Standard Model gauge groups is constructed in the gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario. The supersymmetry breaking messengers axe in a simple form. The Standard Model is obtained after first step gauge symmetry breaking. In the case of one copy of the gauge interactions being strong, a scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking is discussed, and the gauginos are generally predicted to be heavier than the sfermions.

QCD sum rules for masses of excited heavy mesons
Abstract The masses of excited heavy mesons are studied with sum rules in the heavy quark effective theory. A set of interpolating currents creating (annihilating) excited heavy mesons with arbitrary spin and parity are proposed and their properties are discussed. Numerical results at the leading order of the O( 1 m Q ) expansion are obtained for the lowest doublets (0+, 1+) and (1+, 2+).

Supersymmetry and Vector-like Extra Generation
Abstract Within the framework of supersymmetry, the particle content is extended in a way that each Higgs doublet is in a full generation. Namely in addition to ordinary three generations, there is an extra vector-like generation, and it is the extra slepton SU(2)L doublets that are taken to be the two Higgs doublets. R-parity violating interactions contain ordinary Yukawa interactions. Breaking of supersymmetry and gauge symmetry are analyzed. Fermion and boson spectra are calculated. Phenomenological constraints and relevant new physics at Large Hadron Collider are discussed.

QCD sum rule analysis for the Lambda(b)->Lambda(c) semileptonic decay
Abstract The 1 m c and 1 m b corrections to the Λ b → Λ c semileptonic decay are analyzed by QCD sum rules. Within the framework of heavy quark effective theory, the subleading baryonic Isgur-Wise function of Λ b → Λ c has been calculated. It is shown that the corrections due to the 1 m Lagrangian insertion are negligibly small. The sizable 1 m Q effect to the decay lies only in the weak current. The decay spectrum and the branching ratio are given.

Strong gravitational lensing of quasi-Kerr compact object with arbitrary quadrupole moments
A bstractWe study the strong gravitational lensing on the equatorial plane of a quasi-Kerr compact object with arbitrary quadrupole moments which can be used to model the super-massive central object of the galaxy. We find that, when the quadrupolar correction parameter ξ takes the positive (negative) value, the photon-sphere radius rps, the minimum impact parameter ups, the coefficient $ \overline b $, the relative magnitudes rm and the angular position of the relativistic images θ∞ are larger (smaller) than the results obtained in the Kerr black hole, but the coefficient $ \overline a $, the deflection angle α(θ) and the angular separation s are smaller (larger) than that in the Kerr black hole. These features may offer a way to probe special properties for some rotating compact objects by the astronomical instruments in the future.

D-branes of A-type, their deformations, and Morse cobordism of A-branes on Calabi-Yau 3-folds under a split attractor flow: Donaldson/Alexander-Hilden-Lozano-Montesinos-Thurston/Hurwitz/Denef-Joyce meeting Polchinski-Grothendieck
In [L-Y5] (D(6): arXiv:1003.1178 [math.SG]) we introduced the notion of Azumaya C 1 manifolds with a fundamental module and morphisms therefrom to a complex manifold. In the current sequel, we use this notion to give a prototypical definition of supersymmetric D-branes of A-type (i.e. A-branes) – in an appropriate region of the Wilson’s theory-space of string theory – as special Lagrangian morphisms with a unitary, minimally flat connectionwith-singularity. This merges Donaldson’s picture of special Lagrangian submanifolds (1999) and the Polchinski-Grothendieck Ansatz for D-branes in a Calabi-Yau space (Sec. 2.1). The Higgsing/un-Higgsing and the large- vs. small-brane wrapping of A-branes in string theory can be achieved via deformations of such morphisms (Sec. 2.2 and Sec. 2.3). For the case of Calabi-Yau 3-folds, classical results of Alexander (1920), Hilden (1974) and Montesinos (1976), Thurston (1982), and Hilden-Lozano-Montesinos (1983) on 3-manifolds branchedcovering S 3 implies that any embedded special Lagrangian submanifold with a complex vector bundle with a unitary flat connection on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold is the image of a special Lagrangian morphism from an Azumaya 3-sphere with a fundamental module, with a unitary minimally flat connection. This suggests a genus-like expansion of the path-integral of D3-branes in type IIB string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau 3-folds that resembles the genus expansion of the path-integral of strings (Sec. 2.4.2). Similarly, for the path-integral of D2-branes and M2-branes respectively. In Sec. 3, we use the technical results of Joyce (2002-2003) on desingularizations of special Lagrangian submanifolds with conical singularities to explain how supersymmetric D3-branes thus defined can be driven and re-assemble under a reverse split attractor flow at a point on the wall of marginal stability in Type IIB superstring theory compactified on varying Calabi-Yau 3-folds, studied by Denef (2001). This last section is to be read alongside the works [De3] (arXiv:hep-th/0107152) of Denef and [Joy3: V] (arXiv:math.DG/0303272) of Joyce. To cover the basic type of deformations of morphisms from Azumaya spaces in this note and its sequel, we discuss in Sec. 1 Morse cobordisms of manifolds and their promotion to Morse cobordisms of Azumaya manifolds with a fundamental module, and of morphisms from Azumaya manifolds to complex manifolds. The notion of cone of special Lagrangian cycles in a Calabi-Yau manifold is brought out in Sec. 2.4.1 for further study. A summary of the needed results from Joyce is given in the appendix.

A heavy Higgs particle in the TeV mass range
Abstract The first simulation results are presented on Higgs mass calculations in the spontaneously broken phase of the Higgs sector in the minimal Standard Model with higher derivative regulator. A heavy Higgs particle is found in the TeV mass range in the presence of a complex conjugate ghost pair at higher energies. The ghost pair evades easy experimental detection and a nonperturbative reinterpretation of the triviality Higgs mass bound becomes necessary.

Recent Lifetime and Mixing Measurements at the Tevatron
We present the latest $B$ hadron lifetimes, $B^0_s$ mixing, and $D^0$ mixing measurements using up to 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab. The $B^0_s$ lifetime is measured from both $J/\psi \phi$ (CP admixture) and flavor specific channels, and the $B_c$ lifetime is obtained from semileptonic channels. Following the $B^0_s$ oscillation frequency measurement at CDF in 2006, the D0 collaboration now observes $B^0_s$ oscillation at a significance of about 3$\sigma$. Since the first $D^0$ mixing evidence established at $B$ factories in 2007, CDF has observed $D^0$ mixing at a significance of about 4$\sigma$ level, the first time from hadron collider.

Symmetry Breaking in Finite Volume
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a cooperative phenomenon for systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom and it plays an essential role in quantum field theories. Lattice O(N) model is studied within the Hamiltonian approach using an adiabatic approximation. It is shown that the low-lying spectrum of the system in the broken phase can be understood by using the adiabatic, or Born-Oppenheimer approximation, which turns out to become an expansion in the inverse power of volume. In the infinite volume limit, the symmetry is broken while in the finite volume the slow rotation of the zero-momentum mode restores the symmetry and gives rise to the rotator spectrum, which has been observed in realistic Monte Carlo simulations.
