  2. 178. The Moebius symmetry of quantum mechanics

    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...

  3. 168. Discrete Symmetries in String/M theory and Grand Unification
    Bobby Samir Acharya (Abdus Salam Int. Cent. Theor. Phys. (IT))
    05/12/2014, 11:00
    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.

  4. 38. Lorentz symmetry breaking: phenomenology and constraints
    Stefano Liberati (SISSA)
    05/12/2014, 11:45
    In this talk I shall review several motivations for considering departures from exact Lorentz invariance and the different theoretical frameworks adopted to describe these departures. Among these, I shall focus on an effective field theory approach and discuss the phenomenology and constraints of Lorentz symmetry breaking in the Standard Model as well as in Gravity. In particular I will focus...

  5. 166. Summary and prospects of the LHCb Experiment
    Prof. Neville Harnew (University of Oxford (GB))
    05/12/2014, 12:30
    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.
