String Approach to QCD Quarks in Fundamental Representations
Straightforward use of AdS/CFT correspondence can give QCD with quarks in
adjoint representations. Using an asymmetric orbifold approach we obtain
nonsupersymmetric QCD with four quark flavors in fundamental representations of
color.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure. Talk at Eighth Workshop on Nonperturbative Quantum

Mersenne Primes, Polygonal Anomalies and String Theory Classification
It is pointed out that the Mersenne primes and associated
perfect numbers play a significant role in string
theory; this observation may suggest a classification of consistent string
theories.Comment: 10 pages LaTe
Outcome from Spontaneous CP Violation for B Decays
In the aspon model solution of the strong problem, there is a gauged
symmetry, spontaneously broken by the same vacuum expectation value
which breaks , whose massive gauge boson provides an additional mechanism
of weak violation. We calculate the asymmetries in decays for the
aspon model and show that they are typically smaller than those predicted from
the standard model. A linear relation between the asymmetries of different
decay processes is obtained.Comment: REVTEX, 9 pages, IFP-486-UNC, NSF-PT-94-1, and UDHEP-01-9
Aspects of Soft and Spontaneous CP Violation
We study four different models for CP violation: the standard (KM) model, the
aspon model of spontaneous breaking and two models of soft breaking. In all
except the standard model, the strong CP problem is addressed and solved.
Testable predictions for the area of the unitarity triangle and for
(epsilon'/epsilon)_K are emphasized. The issue of CP violation may well become
the first place where the standard model of particle theory is shown
definitively to be deficient. There are two reasons for expecting this to
happen: (1) the strong CP problem is still not understood in the unadorned
standard model and (2) the KM mechanism, although unquestionably present, may
not provide the full explanation of epsilon_K and (epsilon'/epsilon)_K.Comment: 24 pages LaTeX including 4 figures. Minor modification to analysis of

Search for Heavy Leptons at Hadron Colliders
Four models are considered which contain heavy leptons beyond the three
families of the standard model. Two are fourth-generation extensions of the
standard model in which the right-handed heavy leptons are either isosinglets
or in an isodoublet; the other two are motivated by the aspon model of CP
violation. In all these models, the heavy neutrino can either be heavier than,
or comparable in mass to, the charged lepton leading to the possibility that
the charged lepton is very long-lived. Production cross section and signatures
for the heavy leptons are computed for the SSC and LHC.Comment: 17 pages(8 figures are not included),TRI-PP-92-9
Horizontal Symmetry for Quark and Squark Masses in Supersymmetric SU(5)
Recent interest in horizontal symmetry model building has been driven mainly
by the large top mass and hence strong hierarchy in quark masses, and the
possibility of appropriately constrained soft squark mass matrices, in place of
an assumed universality condition, for satisfying the relevant FCNC
constraints. Here we present the first successful SUSY- model that has
such a feature. The horizontal symmetry is a gauged
(). All nonrenormalizable terms compatible with
the symmetry are allowed in the mass matrix constructions. Charged lepton
masses can also be accommodated.Comment: 15 pages, latex, 1 latex figure included version to be published in

3-3-1 exotic quark search at CERN LEPII-LHC
The 3-3-1 electroweak model is the simplest chiral extension of the standard
model which predicts single and double charged bileptons and exotic quarks
carrying -4/3 and 5/3 units of the positron charge. In this paper we study the
possibilities of the production and decay of one of these exotic quarks at CERN
LEPII-LHC collider. For typical vector bilepton, exotic quark masses and mixing
angles we obtained between 20 and 750 events per year. Angular distributions
are also presented.Comment: 5 pages, RevTex 3.1, 9 eps figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
