Lattice Topological Field Theory on Non-Orientable Surfaces

The lattice definition of the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory [Fukuma, {\em et al}, Commun.~Math.~Phys.\ {\bf 161}, 157 (1994)] is generalized to arbitrary (not necessarily orientable) compact surfaces. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between real associative $*$-algebras and the topological state sum invariants defined on such surfaces. The partition and $n$-point functions on all two-dimensional surfaces (connected sums of the Klein bottle or projective plane and $g$-tori) are defined and computed for arbitrary $*$-algebras in general, and for the the group ring $A=\R[G]$ of discrete groups $G$, in particular.Comment: Corrected Latex file, 39 pages, 28 figures available upon reques

Electroweak Phase Transition, Gravitational Waves and Dark Matter in Two Scalar Singlet Extension of The Standard Model

In this paper, the electroweak phase transition, the gravitational waves and the dark matter issues are investigated in two scalar singlet extension of the standard model. The detectability of the gravitational wave signals are discussed by comparing the results with the sensitivity curves of $\mathbf{eLISA}$, $\mathbf{ALIA}$, $\mathbf{DECIGO}$ and $\mathbf{BBO}$ detectors. It is shown that the results support the recent reports on the dark matter relic density by $\mathbf{Planck}$ $\mathbf{2018}$ collaboration and the direct detection experiment by $\mathbf{XENON1T}$ $\mathbf{2018}$ collaboration.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures (4 subfigures), 4 tables, final version to match the published versio

Mass of the Stabilized Radion in the Limit of Finite Quartic Coupling

We present an exact treatment of the modulus stabilization condition with the general boundary conditions of the bulk scalar field in the Randall-Sundrum model. We find analytical expressions for the value of the modulus and the mass of the radion.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, Accepted for publication in AHE
