The Higgs model with a complex ghost pair
Abstract A higher derivative term is introduced in the kinetic energy of the Higgs lagrangian in the minimal Standard Model. A logically consistent and finite field theory is obtained when some excitations of the Higgs field are quantized with indefinite metric in the Hilbert space. The Landau ghost phenomenon of the ponventional triviality problem is replaced by the state vectors of a complex ghost pair at a finite mass scale with observable physical consequences. It is shown that the ghost states exhibit unusual resonance properties and correspond to a complex conjugate pair of Pauli-Villars regulator masses in the euclidean path integral formulation of the theory. An argument is given that microscopic acausality effects associated with the ghost pair remain undetectable in scattering processes with realistic wave packets, and the S -matrix should exhibit unitarity in the observable sector of the Hilbert space.

TUNING THE TADPOLE IMPROVED CLOVER WILSON ACTION ON COARSE ANISOTROPIC LATTICES
Wilson quark action, with tadpole improved clover term added, is studied on coarse anisotropic lattices. The bare velocity of light parameter in this action is determined nonperturbatively using the pseudo-scalar and vector meson dispersion relations for various values of the gauge coupling β and bare quark mass parameter κ.

Pure gauge glueballs at finite temperature
Pure gauge glueballs at finite temperature are investigated in a large temperature range from 0:3Tc to 1:9Tc on anisotropic lattices. Optimized glueball operators are used to obtain better signals. It is found in all 20 symmetry channels that the pole masses MG of glueballs remain almost constants when the temperature approaches the critical temperature Tc from below, and start to reduce gradually with the temperature going above Tc. The glueball correlators in 0 ++ , 0 i+ , and 2 ++ channels, are also analyzed based on the Breit-Wigner ansatz by assuming a thermal width Γ to the pole mass ω0. While ω0's are insensitive to T in the whole temperature range, Γ's exhibit distinct behavior below and above Tc: They are only few percents of ω0 when T Tc and reach values of roughly Γ » ω0=2 at T … 1:9Tc.

Mean-field calculations for the three-dimensional Holstein model
The electron-phonon Holstein model is studied in three spatial dimensions. It is argued that this model can be used to account for major features of the high-Tc BaPb1-xBixO3 and BaxK1-xBiO3 systems. Mean-field calculations are performed via a path integral representation of the model. Charge-density-wave order parameters and transition temperatures are obtained.

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.

1 / N c expansion of the heavy baryon Isgur-Wise functions
The 1/N_c expansion of the heavy baryon Isgur-Wise functions is discussed. Because of the contracted SU(2N_f) light quark spin-flavor symmetry, the universality relations among the Isgur-Wise functions of \Lambda_b to \Lambda_c and \Sigma_b^{(*)} to \Sigma_c^{(*)} are valid up to the order of 1/N_c^2.

Supersymmetric extension of the minimal dark matter model
The minimal dark matter model is given a supersymmetric extension. A super SU(2)(L) quintuplet is introduced with its fermionic neutral component still being the dark matter, and the dark matter mass is about 19.7 TeV. Mass splitting among the quintplet due to supersymrnetry particles is found to be negligibly small compared to the electroweak corrections. Other properties of this supersymmetry model are studied, it has the solutions to the PAMELA and Fermi-LAT anomaly, and the predictions in higher energies need further experimental data to verify them.

Phenomenological aspects of R-parity violating supersymmetry with a vectorlike extra generation
Phenomenological analysis to the R-parity violating supersymmetry with a vectorlike extra generation is performed in detail. It is found that, via the trilinear couplings, the correct neutrino spectrum can be obtained. The Higgs mass rises to 125 GeV by new up-type Yukawa couplings of vectorlike quarks with no need of very heavy superpartners. Phenomena of new heavy fermions at LHC are predicted.

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+).

Four quark operators relevant to B meson lifetimes from QCD sum rules
At the order of 1/m_b^3, the B meson lifetimes are controlled by the hadronic matrix elements of some four-quark operators. The nonfactorizable magnitudes of these four-quark operator matrix elements are analyzed by QCD sum rules in the framework of heavy quark effective theory. The vacuum saturation for color-singlet four-quark operators is justified at hadronic scale, and the nonfactorizable effect is at a few percent level. However for color-octet four-quark operators, the vacuum saturation is violated sizably that the nonfactorizable effect cannot be neglected for the B meson lifetimes. The implication to the extraction of some of the parameters from B decays is discussed. The B meson lifetime ratio is predicted as \tau(B^-)/\tau(B^0)=1.09\pm 0.02. However, the experimental result of the lifetime ratio \tau(\Lambda_b)/\tau(B^0) still cannot be explained.
