Supersymmetry/Supergravity/Strings and Branes
Adaptation of the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism to quantum mechanics yields a
cocycle condition which is invariant under D-dimensional Mobious transformations. The invariance under Mobious transformations can only be implemented consistently if space is compact and implies energy quantisation and undefinability of quantum trajectories. It implies the existence of a fundamental length scale that...

Supersymmetry/Supergravity/Strings and Branes
After reviewing the origin of discrete symmetries like B and L and CP in string/M theory we
go on to address the origin and fate of such symmetries in phenomenological Grand Unified models which derive from string/M theory. The impact on the nature of dark matter and other phenomenological consequences is discussed.

Experimental results from and prospects at LHC and new facilities.
The physics highlights of the LHCb experiment will be reviewed, based on results from up to 3 fb^-1 of pp-collision data. Measurements of the angles of the unitary triangle will be highlighted, together with limits on new physics from rare b-decays, plus the observation of new baryonic states. Physics prospects for the upcoming Run-2 and the LHCb upgrade will also be summarized.
