A pr 2 00 4 Finite Unified Theories and the Higgs Mass Prediction

Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are N=1 supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories, which can be made all-loop finite, both in the dimensionless (gauge and Yukawa couplings) and dimensionful (soft supersymmetry breaking terms) sectors. This remarkable property provides a drastic reduction in the number of free parameters, which in turn leads to an accurate prediction of the top quark mass in the dime...

The Role of the Superstring Dilaton in Cosmology and Particle Physics

Superstring theory predicts the existence of a scalar field, the dilaton. I review some basic features of the dilaton interactions and explain their possible consequences in cosmology and particle physics. ∗) Talk given at XXIXth Rencontres de Moriond, Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories, March 12-19 1994, Meribel, France.

Summary of the 2003 Moriond Workshop on Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories

The 2003 Moriond Workshop on Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories covered a very rich, diverse array of recent results concerning neutrinos, astrophysics and cosmology, searches for new particles, Higgs physics, precision low-energy measurements, quark flavor physics, CP violation, and electroweak interactions. In this summary, we recapitulate some of the highlights. We update many of ...
