    The vicinity of the phase transition in the lattice Weinberg - Salam Model

    We investigated the lattice Weinberg - Salam model without fermions for the Higgs mass around 300300 GeV. On the phase diagram there exists the vicinity of the phase transition between the physical Higgs phase and the unphysical symmetric phase, where the fluctuations of the scalar field become strong while Nambu monopoles are dense. According to our numerical results (obtained on the lattices of sizes up to 203×2420^3\times 24) the maximal value of the ultraviolet cutoff in the model cannot exceed the value around 1.41.4 TeV.Comment: Proceedings of QUARKS-201

    Wigner transformation, momentum space topology, and anomalous transport

    Using derivative expansion applied to the Wigner transform of the two - point Green function we analyse the anomalous quantum Hall effect (AQHE), and the chiral magnetic effect (CME). The corresponding currents are proportional to the momentum space topological invariants. We reproduce the conventional expression for the Hall conductivity in 2+12+1 D. In 3+13+1 D our analysis allows to explain systematically the AQHE in topological insulators and Weyl semimetals. At the same time using this method it may be proved, that the equilibrium CME is absent in the wide class of solids, as well as in the properly regularized relativistic quantum field theory.Comment: Latex, 26 page

    Torsion instead of Technicolor

    We consider the model, which contains a nonminimal coupling of Dirac spinors to torsion. Due to the action for torsion that breaks parity the left - right asymmetry of the spinors appears. This construction is used in order to provide dynamical Electroweak symmetry breaking. Namely, we arrange all Standard Model fermions in the left - handed spinors. The additional technifermions are arranged in right - handed spinors. Due to interaction with torsion technifermions are condensed and, therefore, cause appearance of gauge boson masses. In order to provide all fermions with masses we consider two possibilities. The first one is related to an additional coupling of a real massive scalar field to considered spinors. The second possibility is to introduce the mass term for the mentioned Dirac spinors composed of the Standard Model fermions and the technifermions.Comment: LATEX, to appear in Mod.Phys.Lett.
