We discuss causality properties of extra-dimensional theories allowing for effectively superluminal bulk shortcuts. Such shortcuts for sterile neutrinos have been discussed as a solution to the puzzling LSND and MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation results. We focus here on the subcategory of asymmetrically warped brane spacetimes and argue that scenarios with two extra dimensions may allow for timel...

It has been suggested that future long baseline neutrino experiments such as so-called super-beams, beta-beams, neutrino factories will have great sensitivity to the third mixing angle θ13, the CP phase δ and the mass hierarchy sign(∆m31) (For a review, see, e.g., [1]). Just like at the B factories, experiments of high precision measurements will allow us not only to measure precisely the param...

Some new regularities found in the pseudoscalar meson octet are reported. They invite to reconsider models where elementary fermions and composite QCD open strings can be grouped in common supermultiplets.
