In recent years, tools from quantum information theory have become indispensable in characterizing many-body systems. In this work, we employ measures of entanglement to study the interplay between disorder and the topological phase in 1D systems of the Kitaev type, which can host Majorana end modes at their edges. We find that the entanglement entropy may actually increase as a result of disorder, and identify the origin of this behavior in the appearance of an infinite-disorder critical point. We also employ the entanglement spectrum to accurately determine the phase diagram of the system, and find that disorder may enhance the topological phase, and lead to the appearance of Majorana zero modes in systems whose clean version is trivial.

We suggest a new mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking in the supersymmetric Standard Model. Our suggestion is based on the presence of an anomalous U (1)A gauge symmetry, which naturally arises in the four-dimensional superstring theory, and heavily relies on the value of the corresponding Fayet–Illiopoulos ξ-term.

The gauge symmetry breaking in some versions of 3-3-1 models can be implemented dynamically because at the scale of a few TeVs the U(1)X coupling constant becomes strong. In this work, we consider the dynamical symmetry breaking in a minimal SU(3) TC × SU(3)L × U(1)X model, where we propose a new scheme to cancel the chiral anomalies, including two-index symmetric (6) technifermions, which incorporates naturally the walking behavior in the Technicolor (TC) sector. The composite scalar content of the model is minimal and all the symmetry breaking is implemented by a multiplet of technifermions. The choice of TC representations not only provides the anomaly cancelation with a walking behavior, but is crucial to promote the model's full dynamical symmetry breaking. We consider the dynamical generation of technigluon masses and, depending on the 3-3-1 symmetry breaking scale (μ331), we verify that the technigluon mass is strongly linked to the Z′ mass scale, for instance, if μ331 = 1 TeV , we have MZ′ > 1 TeV only if M TG < 350 GeV .

We analyze behavior of D3-branes in BGMPZ throat geometry. We show that although single brane has some of the moduli stabilized multi-brane system tends to expand and form a bound state. Such a system loses non-Abelian gauge symmetry. The described mechanism is an example of gauge symmetry breaking triggered by SUSY breaking.
