Relation between Lepton Flavor Violating Processes
We demonstrate the existence of model independent one-to-one correspondence
relations between different lepton flavor violating processes (LFV). Applying
the criterion of naturalness, based on the idea of "custodial symmetry", we
show that all the LFV processes, independently of specific mechanisms behind
them, but with the same external leptons, have a priori comparable amplitudes
modulo their kinematics and involved form factors.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure. An illustrative example and some references adde
Lepton number, black hole entropy and 10 to the 32 copies of the Standard Model
Lepton number violating processes are a typical problem in theories with a
low quantum gravity scale. In this paper we examine lepton number violation
(LNV) in theories with a saturated black hole bound on a large number of
species. Such theories have been advocated recently as a possible solution to
the hierarchy problem and an explanation of the smallness of neutrino masses.
Naively one would expect black holes to introduce TeV scale LNV operators, thus
generating unacceptably large rates of LNV processes. We show, however, that
this does not happen in this scenario due to a complicated compensation
mechanism between contributions of different Majorana neutrino states to these
processes. As a result rates of LNV processes are extremely small and far
beyond experimental reach, at least for the left-handed neutrino states.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Proc. PASCOS 2010, Valencia, Spai
Lepton number violation in theories with a large number of Standard Model copies
We examine lepton number violation (LNV) in theories with a saturated black
hole bound on a large number of species. Such theories have been advocated
recently as a possible solution to the hierarchy problem and an explanation of
the smallness of neutrino masses. The violation of lepton number can be a
potential phenomenological problem of this N-copy extension of the Standard
Model as due to the low quantum gravity scale black holes may induce TeV scale
LNV operators generating unacceptably large rates of LNV processes. We show,
however, that this does not happen in this scenario due to a specific
compensation mechanism between contributions of different Majorana neutrino
states to these processes. As a result rates of LNV processes are extremely
small and far beyond experimental reach, at least for the left-handed neutrino
states.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Predictive Control Model to Simulate Humanoid Gait: Predictive Control Model to Simulate Humanoid Gait
This article reveals a new approach to model a humanoid gait consist of 5 and 7 links and studying the influence of feet on the overall gait dynamics. Estimated trajectories of limbs have been planned systematically based on equation of motion and their following interpretation for the human movements from their joints and muscles. The human motion is controlled by the central nervous system (CNS) based on model predictive control (MPC). In our projected representations, MPC controller analyses the essential moments at the joints, and these ideal moments are applied to the muscles. furthermore, MPC controller acts the role of the spinal cord in the humanoid CNS. The outcomes of simulation are compared with several examples of real humanoid gait, gained from motion captured systems. According to comparison, the possibility of additional use of the model for individual identification and acknowledgement of gait eccentricities are predictable
Phenomenology of an extended IDM with loop-generated fermion mass hierarchies
We perform a comprehensive analysis of the most distinctive and important
phenomenological implications of the recently proposed mechanism of sequential
loop generation of strong hierarchies in the Standard Model (SM) fermion mass
spectra. This mechanism is consistently realized at the level of renormalizable
interactions in an extended variant of the Inert Higgs Doublet model,
possessing the additional discrete and
gauge family symmetries, while the matter sectors of the SM are extended by
means of -singlet scalars, heavy vector-like leptons and quarks, as
well as right-handed neutrinos. We thoroughly analyze the most stringent
constraints on the model parameter space, coming from the
collider searches, related to the anomaly in lepton universality, and the muon
anomalous magnetic moment, as well as provide benchmark points for further
tests of the model and discuss possible "standard candle" signatures relevant
for future explorations.Comment: Version accepted for publication in EPJC. arXiv admin note: text

A variant of 3-3-1 model for the generation of the SM fermion mass and mixing pattern
We propose an extension of the 3-3-1 model with an additional symmetry group
and an extended scalar sector. To our
best knowledge this is the first example of a renormalizable 3-3-1 model, which
allows explanation of the SM fermion mass hierarchy by a sequential loop
suppression: tree-level top and exotic fermion masses, 1-loop bottom, charm,
tau and muon masses; 2-loop masses for the light up, down, strange quarks as
well as for the electron. The light active neutrino masses are generated from a
combination of linear and inverse seesaw mechanisms at two loop level. The
model also has viable fermionic and scalar dark matter candidates.Comment: 35 pages, 4 figures. Version accepted for publication in JHE
Lepton Flavor Violating Photoleptonic Effect
We study lepton flavor violating analogs of the photoelectric effect, with a
final or instead of an electron: and . On the basis of the general parametrization of the matrix element
of the electromagnetic current we estimate the upper limits for the cross
sections and event rates of these processes, imposed by the current
experimental bounds on and decays.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, RevTeX
