Antihydrogen, CPT, and Naturalness
Studying fundamental symmetries of Nature has proven fruitful in particle
physics. I argue that recent results at the LHC, and the naturalness problem
highlighted by them, provide a renewed motivation for tests of CPT symmetry as
a probe for physics beyond quantum field theory. I also discuss prospects for
antihydrogen CPT tests with sensitivities to Planck scale suppressed effects.Comment: Based on an invited talk at CPT'13 -- the Sixth Meeting on CPT and

Detecting Antihydrogen: The Challenges and the Applications
ATHENA's first detection of cold antihydrogen atoms relied on their
annihilation signatures in a sophisticated particle detector. We will review
the features of the ATHENA detector and its applications in trap physics. The
detector for a new experiment ALPHA will have considerable challenges due to
increased material thickness in the trap apparatus as well as field
non-uniformity. Our studies indicate that annihilation vertex imaging should be
still possible despite these challenges. An alternative method for trapped
antihydrogen, via electron impact ionization, will be also discussed.Comment: Invited paper at International Workshop on Physics with Ultra-Slow

Supersymmetric U(N) Gauge Model and Partial Breaking of N=2 Supersymmetry
Guided by the gauging of U(N) isometry associated with the special Kahler
geometry, and the discrete R symmetry, we construct the N=2 supersymmetric
action of a U(N) invariant nonabelian gauge model in which rigid N=2
supersymmetry is spontaneously broken to N=1. This generalizes the abelian
model considered by Antoniadis, Partouche and Taylor. We shed light on
complexity of the supercurrents of our model associated with a broken N=2
supermultiplet of currents, and discuss the spontaneously broken supersymmetry
as an approximate fermionic shift symmetry.Comment: 32 pages; typos corrected and references added; the version to be

Prenex normalization and the hierarchical classification of formulas
Akama et al. [1] introduced a hierarchical classification of first-order
formulas for a hierarchical prenex normal form theorem in semi-classical
arithmetic. In this paper, we give a justification for the hierarchical
classification in a general context of first-order theories. To this end, we
first formalize the standard transformation procedure for prenex normalization.
Then we show that the classes and introduced in
[1] are exactly the classes induced by and respectively via
the transformation procedure in any first-order theory.Comment: 15 page
