Radius Stabilization in a Supersymmetric Warped Compactification
A supersymmetric (SUSY) model of radius stabilization is constructed for the
S^1/Z_2 warped compactifications with a hypermultiplet in five dimensions.
Requiring the continuity of scalar field across the boundaries, we obtain
radius stabilization preserving SUSY, realizing the SUSY extension of the
Goldberger-Wise mechanism. Even if we allow discontinuities of the Z_2 odd
field across the boundary, we always obtain SUSY preservation but obtain the
radius stabilization only when the discontinuity is fixed by other mechanism.Comment: 6 pages, revtex, Errors of the products of distributions are

Two loop finiteness of Higgs mass and potential in the gauge-Higgs unification
The zero mode of an extra-dimensional component of gauge potentials serves as
a 4D Higgs field in the gauge-Higgs unification. We examine QED on and determine the mass and potential of a 4D Higgs field (the
component) at the two loop level with gauge invariant reguralization. It is
seen that the mass is free from divergences and independent of the
renormalization scheme.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figur
Flavor Mixing in the Gauge-Higgs Unification
Gauge-Higgs unification is the fascinating scenario solving the hierarchy
problem without supersymmetry. In this scenario, the Standard Model (SM) Higgs
doublet is identified with extra component of the gauge field in higher
dimensions and its mass becomes finite and stable under quantum corrections due
to the higher dimensional gauge symmetry. On the other hand, Yukawa coupling is
provided by the gauge coupling, which seems to mean that the flavor mixing and
CP violation do not arise at it stands. In this talk, we discuss that the
flavor mixing is originated from simultaneously non-diagonalizable bulk and
brane mass matrices. Then, this mechanism is applied to various flavor changing
neutral current (FCNC) processes via Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge boson exchange at
tree level and constraints for compactification scale are obtained.Comment: 5 pages, prepared for the proceedings of the International Workshop

Decoupling Solution to SUSY Flavor Problem via Extra Dimensions
We discuss the decoupling solution to SUSY flavor problem in the fat brane
scenario. We present a simple model to yield the decoupling sfermion spectrum
in a five dimensional theory. Sfermion masses are generated by the overlap
between the wave functions of the matter fields and the chiral superfields on
the SUSY breaking brane. Two explicit examples of the spectrum are given.Comment: 8 pages, LaTe
Cultural Continuity and Change: A Study of the Sixteen Samskaras in Modern Hindu Society
This paper explores the cultural continuity and changes surrounding the sixteen samskaras within modern Hindu society. Drawing from a synthesis of scholarly works and classical texts, the study examines the historical significance and contemporary relevance of these rituals. Ramaswami Aiyer, Pandey, and Shelat provide foundational insights into the cultural heritage of India, emphasizing the enduring nature of the samskaras and their role in shaping Hindu identity. Shrutiprakashdas, Dave, Shukla, Vivekpriyadas, and Gnaneshwardas offer philosophical, sociological, and cultural perspectives, elucidating the spiritual dimensions and adaptive qualities of these ceremonies in response to societal shifts. Through an analysis of these sources, this paper seeks to understand how the sixteen samskaras continue to uphold tradition while accommodating changes in modern Hindu society.
The Sixteen Samskaras, deeply rooted in Hindu philosophy and tradition, represent a series of sacred rites of passage that mark significant milestones in an individual’s life journey. These rituals, spanning from conception to cremation, play a vital role in shaping the spiritual and cultural identity of Hindus across different regions and communities. Each samskara is imbued with profound meaning and symbolism, reflecting the rich tapestry of beliefs and practices that define Hinduism
