Strong coupling in brane-induced gravity in five dimensions
V. A. Rubakov
Brane-induced gravity in five dimensions (Dvali--Gabadadze--Porrati model) exhibits modification of gravity at ultra-large distances, where is the fiv…
Instanton-Like Processes in Particle Collisions: a Numerical Study of the SU(2)-Higgs Theory below the Sphaleron Energy
F. Bezrukov, C. Rebbi, V. Rubakov +1
We use semiclassical methods to calculate the probability of inducing a change of topology via a high-energy collision in the SU(2)-Higgs theory. This probability is determined by…
A simplified model for monopole catalysis of nucleon decay
Y. Brihaye, V. A. Rubakov, D. H. Tchrakian +1
We present a simple model where a nucleon is treated as the Skyrmion, both monopole and Skyrmion are smooth solutions of the classical field equations,the baryon number non-conserv…
Trends in Grand Unification: unification at strong coupling and composite models
V. A. Rubakov, S. V. Troitsky
We review several problems of conventional Grand Unification and some new approaches. In particular, we discuss strongly coupled Grand Unified Theories. Standard Model may emerge a…
Tunneling of Bound Systems at Finite Energies: Complex Paths Through Potential Barriers
G. F. Bonini, A. G. Cohen, C. Rebbi +1
We adapt the semiclassical technique, as used in the context of instanton transitions in quantum field theory, to the description of tunneling transmissions at finite energies thro…
Induced charges as probes of low energy effective theories
V. A. Rubakov
We suggest that the correspondence between gauge theories strongly coupled in the infrared and their low energy effective theories may be probed by introducing topologically non-tr…
