Opening the Window for Technicolor
Deog Ki Hong, Stephen D. H. Hsu, Francesco Sannino
Recently a new class of technicolor models are proposed, using technifermions of symmetric second-rank tensor. In the models, one can make reasonable estimates of physical quantiti…
Information on the Super Yang-Mills Spectrum
A. Feo, P. Merlatti, F. Sannino
We investigate the spectrum of the lightest states of N=1 Super Yang-Mills. We first study the spectrum using the recently extended Veneziano Yankielowicz theory containing also th…
Predictions for QCD from Supersymmetry
Francesco Sannino
We review the construction of the effective Lagrangians of the Veneziano-Yankielowicz (VY) type for two non-supersymmetric theories containing one Dirac fermion in the two-index an…
New Solutions to the Strong CP Problem
S. D. H. Hsu, F. Sannino
We exhibit a solution to the strong CP problem in which ultraviolet physics renders the QCD theta angle physically unobservable. Our models involve new strong interactions beyond Q…
Composite Higgs from Higher Representations
D. K. Hong, S. D. Hsu, F. Sannino
We investigate new models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking resulting from the condensation of fermions in higher representations of the technicolor group. These models li…
Orientifold theory dynamics and symmetry breaking
Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
We show that it is possible to construct explicit models of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the number of techniflavors needed to enter the conformal phase of the theory is…
Extending the Veneziano-Yankielowicz Effective Theory
P. Merlatti, F. Sannino
We extend the Veneziano Yankielowicz (VY) effective theory in order to account for ordinary glueball states. We propose a new form of the superpotential including a chiral superfie…
Confinement and Chiral Symmetry
A. Mocsy, F. Sannino, K. Tuominen
We illustrate why color deconfines when chiral symmetry is restored in gauge theories with quarks in the fundamental representation, and while these transitions do not need to coin…
Tetracritical behavior in strongly interacting theories
Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
We suggest a tetracritical fixed point to naturally occur in strongly interacting theories. As a fundamental example we analyze the temperature--quark chemical potential phase diag…
Effective Lagrangians for QCD: Deconfinement and Chiral Symmetry Restoration
Agnes Mocsy, Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
Effective Lagrangians for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) especially suited for understanding deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration at nonzero temperature and matter density a…
