چکیده
Pseudo-Hermitian (so called PT symmetric) Hamiltonians are featured within a re-formulated Witten's supersymmetric quantum mechanics. An unusual form of the supersymmetric partnership between the spiked harmonic oscillators is described. In the review [1] of the Witten's (or so called supersymmetric) quantum mechanics one finds the specific Fock vacuum q|0 = exp(−q 2 /2)/ √ π 0 , q ∈ (−∞, ∞). (1) In the upper line we recognize the ground state of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator H (HO) = p 2 + q 2 and see that " bosons " may be created/annihilated by the action of the respective operators −∂ r + q and ∂ r + q (to be denoted as B (−1/2) and A (−1/2) here). The solvable harmonic-oscillator character of this elementary model enables us to define the three two-by-two matrices F † = 0 0 1 0 , F = 0 1 0 0 , N F = 0 0 0 1 (2) which create and annihilate a " fermion " and determine the fermionic number, respectively. Formally, this enables us to introduce the two partner Hamiltonians H (L) = H (HO) − 1, H (R) = H (HO) + 1 and identify the underlying symmetry with the superalgebra sl(1/1) generated by the following three operator matrices

These lectures give an introduction to the problem of finding a realistic and natural extension of the standard model based on spontaneously broken supersymmetry. Topics discussed at some length include the effective field theory paradigm, coupling constants as superfield spurions, gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, and anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking, including an extensive introdu...

I discuss effective field theories of brane-world models where different sectors break different halves of the extended bulk supersymmetry. It is shown how to consistently couple N = 2 supersymmetric matter to N = 1 superfields that lack N = 2 partners but transform in a non-linear representation of the N = 2 algebra. In particular, I explain how to couple an N = 2 vector to N = 1 chiral fields...

We discuss the isospin symmetry breaking quantity ∆ ±0 ≡ Γ(B ± → ρ ± γ)/2Γ(B 0 → ρ 0 γ)−1, and the direct CP violation in B ± → ρ ± γ within and beyond the standard model. After showing that the leading-order calculation would be a good approximation in such models, we argue that measurements of these quantities would be able to disentagle physics beyond the standard model.

QCD in a five-dimensional sliced bulk with chiral extra-quarks on the boundaries is generically free from the strong CP problem. Accidental axial symmetry is naturally present except for suppressed breaking interactions, which plays a role of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry to make the strong CP phase sufficiently small.
