Threshold phenomena in random graphs
In the 1950s, random graphs appeared for the first time in a result of the prolific hungarian mathematician Pál Erd\H{o}s. Since then, interest in random graph theory has only grown up until now. In its first stages, the basis of its theory were set, while they were mainly used in probability and combinatorics theory. However, with the new century and the boom of technologies like the World Wide Web, random graphs are even more important since they are extremely useful to handle problems in fields like network and communication theory. Because of this fact, nowadays random graphs are widely studied by the mathematical community around the world and new promising results have been recently achieved, showing an exciting future for this field. In this bachelor thesis, we focus our study on the threshold phenomena for graph properties within random graphs
On Parity-Violating Three-Nucleon Interactions and the Predictive Power of Few-Nucleon EFT at Very Low Energies
We address the typical strengths of hadronic parity-violating three-nucleon
interactions in "pion-less" Effective Field Theory in the nucleon-deuteron
(iso-doublet) system. By analysing the superficial degree of divergence of loop
diagrams, we conclude that no such interactions are needed at leading order.
The only two linearly independent parity-violating three-nucleon structures
with one derivative mix two-S and two-P-half waves with iso-spin transitions
Delta I = 0 or 1. Due to their structure, they cannot absorb any divergence
ostensibly appearing at next-to-leading order. This observation is based on the
approximate realisation of Wigner's combined SU(4) spin-isospin symmetry in the
two-nucleon system, even when effective-range corrections are included.
Parity-violating three-nucleon interactions thus only appear beyond
next-to-leading order. This guarantees renormalisability of the theory to that
order without introducing new, unknown coupling constants and allows the direct
extraction of parity-violating two-nucleon interactions from three-nucleon
experiments.Comment: 20 pages LaTeX2e, including 9 figures as .eps file embedded with

Low Energy Precision Test of Supersymmetry
Supersymmetry (SUSY) remains one of the leading candidates for physics beyond
the Standard Model, and the search for SUSY will be a central focus of future
collider experiments. Complementary information on the viability and character
of SUSY can be obtained via the analysis of precision electroweak measurements.
In this review, we discuss the prospective implications for SUSY of present and
future precision studies at low energy.Comment: 118 pages, review pape
