It is known that a Dirac-type matrix equation governs surface excitations in the superconductor-topological insulator system and Majorana zero-energy modes (MZM) arise as solutions of such an equation in the presence of vortices. Among other setups to realize MZMs, one can mention a p-wave superconductor with a non-relativistic kinetic term and a vortex order parameter. On the other hand, it...
The string swampland conjectures are a list of criteria a low energy effective field theory (EFT) must satisfy to be UV completed in quantum gravity (QG). These conjectures are based on examples from string theory constructions. If an EFT does not respect these conditions it cannot be constructed from a string compactification. These criteria can be used in a bottom-up approach as a model...
This talk will mainly represent a review of the standard model Higgs boson and its role in searches for new physics at the large hadron collider. In the end, the latest beyond the standard model searches through Higgs interactions being performed at the CMS experiment collaboration will be addressed.
