Sensitivity of the LHC to Electroweak Symmetry Breaking: Equivalence Theorem as a Criterion
Based upon our recent study on the intrinsic connection between the
longitudinal weak-boson scatterings and probing the electroweak symmetry
breaking (EWSB) mechanism, we reveal the profound physical content of the
Equivalence Theorem (ET) as being able to discriminate physical processes which
are sensitive/insensitive to probing the EWSB sector. With this physical
content of the ET as a criterion, we analyze the complete set of the bosonic
operators in the electroweak chiral Lagrangian and systematically classify the
sensitivities to probing all these operators at the CERN LHC via the weak-boson
fusion in channel. This is achieved by developing a precise power
counting rule (a generalization from Weinberg's counting method) to {\it
separately} count the power dependences on the energy and all relevant mass
scales.Comment: 33 pages, LaTeX, 10 figures and Table-1b are in the separate file

Longitudinal/Goldstone boson equivalence and phenomenology of probing the electroweak symmetry breaking
We formulate the equivalence between the longitudinal weak-boson and the
Goldstone boson as a criterion for sensitively probing the electroweak symmetry
breaking mechanism and develop a precise power counting rule for chiral
Lagrangian formulated electroweak theories. With these we semi-quatitatively
analyze the sensitivities to various effective operators related to
electrowaeak symmetry breaking via weak-boson scatterings at the CERN Large
Hadron Collider (LHC).Comment: 6 pages, LaTex, 1 postscript figure included using psfig.te
Degeneracy of Landau Level and Quantum Group SL_q(2)
We show that there is a kind of quantum group symmetry in the
usual Landau problem and it is this quantum group symmetry that governs the
degeneracy of Landau levels. We find that under the periodic boundary
condition, the degree of degeneracy of Landau levels is finite, and it just
equals the dimension of the irreducible cyclic representation of the quantum
group .Comment: 10 pages, Preprint ( reprint ) of Nankai Institute of Mathematics.

Strong Cosmic Censorship in Charged de Sitter spacetime with Scalar Field Non-minimally Coupled to Curvature
We examine the stability and the strong cosmic censorship in the
Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter (RN-dS) black hole by investigating the evolution
of a scalar field non-minimally coupled to the curvature. We find that when the
coupling parameter is negative, the RN-dS black hole experiences instability.
The instability disappears when the coupling parameter becomes non-negative.
With the increase of the coupling parameter, the violation of the strong cosmic
censorship occurs at a larger critical charge ratio. But such an increase of
the critical charge is suppressed by the increase of the cosmological constant.
Different from the minimal coupling situation, it is possible to accommodate
in the near extremal black hole when the scalar field is
non-minimally coupled to curvature. The increase of the cosmological constant
can allow to be satisfied for even smaller value of the coupling
parameter. The existence of implies that the resulting curvature
can continuously cross the Cauchy horizon.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, 5 table
