The Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment in the Reduced Minimal 3-3-1 Model
We study the muon anomalous magnetic moment in the context of
the reduced minimal 3-3-1 model recently proposed in the literature. In
particular, its spectrum contains a doubly charged scalar () and
gauge boson (), new singly charged vectors () and a
boson, each of which might give a sizeable contribution to the
. We compute the 1-loop contributions from all these new particles
to the . We conclude that the doubly charged vector boson provides
the dominant contribution, and by comparing our results with the experimental
constraints we derive an expected value for the scale of symmetry breaking TeV. We also note that, if the
discrepancy in the anomalous moment is resolved in the future without this
model then the constraints will tighten to requiring TeV with
current precision, and will entirely rule out the model if the expected
precision is achieved by the future experiment at Fermilab.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figure
Quantum Fields with Noncommutative Target Spaces
Quantum field theories (QFT's) on noncommutative spacetimes are currently
under intensive study. Usually such theories have world sheet noncommutativity.
In the present work, instead, we study QFT's with commutative world sheet and
noncommutative target space. Such noncommutativity can be interpreted in terms
of twisted statistics and is related to earlier work of Oeckl [1], and others
[2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. The twisted spectra of their free Hamiltonians has been found
earlier by Carmona et al [9,10]. We review their derivation and then compute
the partition function of one such typical theory. It leads to a deformed black
body spectrum, which is analysed in detail. The difference between the usual
and the deformed black body spectrum appears in the region of high frequencies.
Therefore we expect that the deformed black body radiation may potentially be
used to compute a GZK cut-off which will depend on the noncommutative parameter

On the connection of Gamma-rays, Dark Matter and Higgs searches at LHC
Motivated by the upcoming Higgs analyzes we investigate the importance of the
complementarity of the Higgs boson chase on the low mass WIMP search in direct
detection experiments and the gamma-ray emission from the Galactic Center
measured by the Fermi-LAT telescope in the context of the . We obtain the relic abundance, thermal cross section,
the WIMP-nucleon cross section in the low mass regime and network them with the
branching ratios of the Higgs boson in the model. We conclude that the Higgs
boson search has a profound connection to the dark matter problem in our model,
in particular for the case that ( GeV) the BR(
WIMPs) . This scenario could explain this plateau of any mild
excess regarding the Higgs search as well as explain the gamma-ray emission
from the galactic center through the channel with a WIMP in the mass
range of 25-45 GeV, while still being consistent with the current limits from
XENON100 and CDMSII. However, if the recent modest excesses measured at LHC and
TEVATRON are confirmed and consistent with a standard model Higgs boson this
would imply that GeV, consequently ruling out any attempt to
explain the Fermi-LAT observations.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figure
Explaining ATLAS and CMS Results Within the Reduced Minimal 3-3-1 model
Recently the ATLAS and CMS collaborations announced the discovery of a higgs
particle with a mass of GeV. The results are mildly consistent with
the Standard Model Higgs boson. However, the combined data from these
collaborations seem to point to an excess in the
channel. In this work we analyze under which conditions this excess may be
plausibly explained within the reduced minimal 3-3-1 model, while being
consistent with bb, WW, ZZ and channels. Moreover, we derive the
properties of the heavy neutral and the doubly charged scalars predicted by the
model. We then conclude that at a scale of a few TeV, this model provides a
good fit to the ATLAS and CMS signal strength measurements, and therefore
stands as an appealing alternative to the standard model.Comment: 23 pages, 9 figures. References adde
Surface crossover exponent for branched polymers in two dimensions
Transfer-matrix methods on finite-width strips with free boundary conditions
are applied to lattice site animals, which provide a model for randomly
branched polymers in a good solvent. By assigning a distinct fugacity to sites
along the strip edges, critical properties at the special (adsorption) and
ordinary transitions are assessed. The crossover exponent at the adsorption
point is estimated as , consistent with recent
predictions that exactly for all space dimensionalities.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX with Institute of Physics macros, to appear in

Anomalous dynamics in two- and three- dimensional Heisenberg-Mattis spin glasses
We investigate the spectral and localization properties of unmagnetized
Heisenberg-Mattis spin glasses, in space dimensionalities and 3, at T=0.
We use numerical transfer-matrix methods combined with finite-size scaling to
calculate Lyapunov exponents, and eigenvalue-counting theorems, coupled with
Gaussian elimination algorithms, to evaluate densities of states. In we
find that all states are localized, with the localization length diverging as
, as energy . Logarithmic corrections to density of
states behave in accordance with theoretical predictions. In the
density-of-states dependence on energy is the same as for spin waves in pure
antiferromagnets, again in agreement with theoretical predictions, though the
corresponding amplitudes differ.Comment: RevTeX4, 9 pages, 9 .eps figure
