A phenomenological investigation of the string effect
We present results from Monte Carlo calculations of the string effect and the double inclusive correlation of particle flows for three-fold symmetric three-jet events in e+e− annihilation reactions at different energies. We find that the perturbative phase of the jet evolution quickly becomes dominant as energy increases.

Pomeron universality from identical pion correlations at the LHC
Abstract Bose–Einstein correlations of identical pions produced in high-energy pp collisions at the LHC allow a probe of the Pomeron exchange mechanism. The size of the domain which emits the pions depends on the multiplicity of events, but not on the collider energy. This confirms the universal structure of Pomeron exchange. The data at relatively low multiplicities indicate that the size of the source created by one-Pomeron exchange is much less than the size of the proton.

QCD Interconnection Effects
Heavy objects like the W, Z and t are short-lived compared with typical hadronization times. When pairs of such particles are produced, the subsequent hadronic decay systems may therefore become interconnected. We study such potential effects at Linear Collider energies.

Radiative corrections to the hadronic cross-section measurement at DA$\Phi$NE
Abstract. The hadronic invariant mass distribution for the process of electron–positron annihilation into a pair of charged pions accompanied by a photon radiated from the initial state has been studied for the region of DA$\Phi$NE energies. The Born cross–section and the electromagnetic radiative corrections to it are calculated for realistic conditions of the KLOE detector. The dependence on the physical parameters which define the event selection is obtained.

On the sensitivity of the inclusive distributions in parton jets to the coherence effects in QCD gluon cascades
The KNO multiplicity distributions and properties of two-particle correlations in QCD jets are considered in the framework of the perturbative approach accounting for effects of the coherence in the soft gluon bremsstrahlung.

Yang-Mills instantons in the large N limit and the AdS / CFT correspondence
Abstract We examine a certain 16-fermion correlator in N =4 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory in 4 dimensions. Generalizing recent SU(2) results of Bianchi, Green, Kovacs and Rossi, we calculate the exact N-dependence of the effective 16-fermion vertex at the 1-instanton level, and find precise agreement in the large-N limit with the prediction of the type IIB superstring on AdS5×S5. This suggests that the string theory prediction for the 1-instanton amplitude considered here is not corrected by higher-order terms in the α′ expansion.

On Affleck-Dine-Seiberg superpotential and magnetic monopoles in supersymmetric QCD
Certain exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories are generated by non-perturbative effects different from instantons. In supersymmetric QCD with N colours and NF fundamental flavours we examine the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg (ADS) superpotential using controlled semi-classical analysis. We show how for NF< N ? 1 the ADS superpotential arises from monopole contributions to the path integral of the supersymmetric gauge theory compactified on 3 ? S1. These are the monopole effects leading to gaugino condensation and confinement of the low-energy SU(N?NF) supersymmetric gauge theory.

Instantons in N=4 Sp(N) and SO(N) theories and the AdS / CFT correspondence
Following work on theories with SU(N) gauge groups, we perform a large-N saddle-point approximation of the measure for ADHM multi-instantons in N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories with symplectic or orthogonal gauge groups. For Sp(N) we find that a saddle-point only exists in the even instanton charge sector. For either Sp(N) or SO(N) the saddle-point solution parametrizes AdS_5 x RP^5, the dual supergravity geometry in the AdS/CFT correspondence for these theories. The instanton measure at large-N has the form of the partition function of ten-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory with a unitary gauge group dimensionally reduced to zero dimensions.

Exact results in noncommutative = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories
We study the low-energy dynamics of noncommutative = 2 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theories in the Coulomb phase. Exact results are derived for the leading terms in the derivative expansion of the wilsonian effective action. We find that in the infrared regime the U(1) subgroup decouples, and the remaining SU(N) is described by the ordinary commutative Seiberg-Witten solution. IR/UV mixing is present in the U(1), but not in SU(N). Our analysis is based on explicit perturbative and multi-instanton calculations.

Travels on the squark-gluino mass plane
Institut fur Theoretische Physik, Universitat Heidelberg, Germany(Dated: September 12, 2011)Soft supersymmetry breaking appears in the weak-scale e ective action but is usually generated athigher scales. For these models the structure of the renormalization group evolution down to theelectroweak scale leaves only part of the squark-gluino and slepton-gaugino mass planes accessible.Our observations divide these physical mass planes into three wedges: the rst can be reached byall models of high-scale breaking; the second can only be populated by models with a low mediationscale; in the third wedge squarks and gluinos would have to be described by an exotic theory. Allusual benchmark points reside in the rst wedge, even though an LHC discovery in the third wedge
