The Late Time Behavior of False Vacuum Decay: Possible Implications for Cosmology and Metastable Inflating States

Lawrence M. Krauss, James Dent

We describe here how the late time behavior of the decaying states, which is predicted to deviate from an exponential form, while normally of insignificant consequence, may have im…

Flavor Ratios of Astrophysical Neutrinos: Implications for Precision Measurements

Sandip Pakvasa, Werner Rodejohann, Thomas J. Weiler

We discuss flavor-mixing probabilities and flavor ratios of high energy astrophysical neutrinos. In the first part of this paper, we expand the neutrino flavor-fluxes in terms of t…

TriMinimal Parametrization of the Neutrino Mixing Matrix

Sandip Pakvasa, Werner Rodejohann, Thomas J. Weiler

Current experimental data on neutrino mixing are very well described by TriBiMaximal mixing. Accordingly, any phenomenological parametrization of the MNSP matrix must build upon Tr…

On detecting CP violation in a single neutrino oscillation channel at very long baselines

D. C. Latimer, J. Escamilla, D. J. Ernst

We propose a way of detecting CP violation in a single neutrino oscillation channel at very long baselines (on the order of several thousands of kilometers), given precise knowledg…

Leptonic color models from Z_8 orbifolded AdS/CFT

K. S. Babu, Thomas W. Kephart, Heinrich Päs

We study orbifold compactifications of the type IIB superstring on AdS_5 x S^5/Gamma, where Gamma is the abelian group Z_8, which can lead to non-SUSY three and four family models…

Neutrino flavor ratios as diagnostic of solar WIMP annihilation

Ralf Lehnert, Thomas J. Weiler

We consider the neutrino (and antineutrino) flavors arriving at Earth for neutrinos produced in the annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the Sun's core.…

Quiver Gauge Theory and Conformality at the TeV Scale

Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart

This review describes the conformality approach to extending the standard model of particle phenomenology using an assumption of no conformal anomaly at high energy. Topics include…

Flavor Symmetry for Quarks and Leptons

Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart

Present data on neutrino masses and mixing favor the highly symmetric tribimaximal neutrino mixing matrix which suggests an underlying flavor symmetry. A systematic study of non-ab…

Minimal Pati-Salam Model from String Theory Unification

James B. Dent, Thomas W. Kephart

We provide what we believe is the minimal three family SUSY and conformal Pati-Salam Model from type IIB superstring theory. This orbifolded AdS m…

Proton Decay Constraints on Low Scale AdS/CFT Unification

James B. Dent, Thomas W. Kephart

Dark matter candidates and proton decay in a class of models based on the AdS/CFT correspondence are discussed. We show that the present bound on the proton decay lifetime is incon…

Dark Matter Candidates: What Cold, ..and What's Not

Lawrence M. Krauss

In this brief review of recent theoretical developments associated with the search for dark matter I describe the following: why baryons are now ruled out as dark matter candidates…
