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
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

Violations of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in the higher dimensional black holes with pressure
We adopt the energy momentum relation of charged particles to study the
thermodynamics laws and weak cosmic censorship conjecture of -dimensional
AdS black holes in different phase spaces by considering charged
particle absorption. In the normal phase space, it turns out that the laws of
thermodynamic and the weak cosmic censorship conjecture are valid. In the
extended phase space, though the first law of thermodynamics is valid, the
second law of thermodynamics is invalid. More interestingly, the weak cosmic
censorship conjecture is shown to be violated only in higher-dimensional
near-extremal AdS black holes. In addition, the magnitudes of the
violations for both the second law and weak cosmic censorship conjecture are
dependent on the charge , constant scalar curvature , AdS radius
, dimension parameters , and their variations.Comment: Accepted by Eur. Phys. J.
