Gauged Clockwork Theory
We consider the gauged clockwork theory with a product of multiple
gauge groups and discuss the continuum limit of the theory to a massless gauged
with linear dilaton background in five dimensions. The localization of
the lightest state of gauge fields on a site in the theory space naturally
leads to exponentially small effective couplings of external matter fields
localized away from the site. We discuss the implications of our general
discussion with some examples, such as mediators of dark matter interactions,
flavor-changing -meson decays as well as D-term SUSY breaking.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures, Expanded discussion on dark matter mediator, To

Department of Management EngineeringFirms participating in printer industries have invested their constrained resources into technology development in order to sustain their competitiveness in the industry. Considering the fast-changing market circumstances, each firm???s own investment decisions on technology portfolio may directly affect their performance.
In this study, we analyzed patent data, namely number of forward citations and technological classification data (CPC). Using this data, the technological portfolio of a specific firm can be identified, which can further help our understanding on firms??? R&D investment strategies. Number of studies mainly focused on patent class combinations of individual technology level, but portfolios of patent class at a firm level have been understudied.
In this study, we tracked the change of class composition within each firms??? technological patents??? portfolio and attempted to identify practical and theoretical implications to portfolio management. We utilized Entropy Index, Co-occurrence and cosine similarities measurements for each indicating diversification, patent scope and portfolio similarities within each patents??? classification subclasses. Additionally, performance evaluation of each portfolio is conducted using forward citation data.
This paper shows that in-depth patent data analysis can allow us to explore deeper insights at various levels, individual technology, products and product lines, and firms sufficing different stories.ope
Softness of Supersymmetry Breaking on the Orbifold
We consider supersymmetry breaking due to a Scherk-Schwarz twist or localized
mass terms in 6d supersymmetric gauge theory compactified on the
orbifold . We show that the Scherk-Schwarz breaking in 6d is
equivalent to the localized breaking with mass terms along the lines in extra
dimensions. In the presence of the considered supersymmetry breaking, we find
that there arises a finite one-loop mass correction to a brane scalar due to
the KK modes of bulk gauge fields.Comment: JHEP style file of 16 pages, no figures, published versio
