Local events are characterized by “where”, “when” and “what”. Just as (bosonic) spacetime forms the backdrop for location and time, (fermionic) property space can serve as the backdrop for the attributes of a system. With such a scenario I shall describe a scheme that is capable of unifying gravitation and the other forces of nature. The generalized metric contains the curvature of spacetime and property separately, with the gauge fields linking the bosonic and fermionic arenas. The super-Ricci scalar can then automatically yield the spacetime Lagrangian of gravitation and the Standard Model (plus a cosmological constant) upon integration over property coordinates.

The Standard Model

The standard model ascribes distinct properties to different chiralities of fermions. We show how to incorporate this aspect in an extended space–time-property framework involving two different attributes using a generalized metric which includes gauge fields as well as gravitation. Because the gauge fields are accompanied by coupling constants, all such schemes, including ours, necessitate coupling unification at high energy to ensure universality of gravitational interactions with matter.

Abstract The most exciting future observation in cosmology will feature a monitoring of the cosmic expansion in real time, unlike anything that has ever been attempted before. This campaign will uncover crucial physical properties of the various constituents in the Universe, and perhaps answer a simpler question concerning whether or not the cosmic expansion is even accelerating. An unambiguous yes/no response to this query will significantly impact cosmology, of course, but also the standard model of particle physics. Here, we discuss---in a straightforward way---how to understand the so-called `redshift drift' sought by this campaign, and why its measurement will help us refine the standard-model parameters if the answer is `yes.' A `no' answer, on the other hand, could be more revolutionary, in the sense that it might provide a resolution of several long-standing problems and inconsistencies in our current cosmological models. An outcome of zero redshift drift, for example, would obviate the need for a cosmological constant and render inflation completely redundant.

Abstract We derive one- and two-loop renormalization group equations (RGEs) of Higgs-R2 inflation. This model has a non-minimal coupling between the Higgs and the Ricci scalar and a Ricci scalar squared term on top of the standard model. The RGEs derived in this paper are valid as long as the energy scale of interest (in the Einstein frame) is below the Planck scale. We also discuss implications to the inflationary predictions and the electroweak vacuum metastability.

Abstract Guided by the naturalness criterion for an exponentially small cosmological constant, we present a string theory motivated 4-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 non-linear supergravity model (or its linear version with a nilpotent superfield) with spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The model encompasses the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the racetrack Kähler uplift, and the KKLT anti-D3-branes, and use the nilpotent superfield to project out the undesirable interaction terms as well as the unwanted degrees of freedom to end up with the standard model (not the supersymmetric version) of strong and electroweak interactions.

Six months after the market crash of October 1987, we are still sifting through the debris searching for its cause. Two theories of the crash sound plausible -- one based on a market panic and the other based on large trader transactions -- though there is other evidence that is difficult to reconcile. If we are to believe the market panic theory or the Brady Commission's theory that the crash was primarily caused by a few large traders, we must strongly reject the standard model. We need to build models of financial equilibrium which are more sensitive to real life trading mechanisms, which account more realistically for the formation of expectations, and which recognize that, at any one time, there is a limited pool of investors available with the ability to evaluate stocks and take appropriate action in the market.

Friedmann Robertson Walker

Assuming the validity of the general relativistic description of gravitation on astrophysical and cosmological length scales, we analytically infer that the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker cosmology with Einsteinian cosmological constant, and a vanishing spatial curvature constant, unambiguously requires a significant amount of dark matter. This requirement is consistent with other indications for dark matter. The same space–time symmetries that underlie the freely falling frames of Einsteinian gravity also provide symmetries which, for the spin one half representation space, furnish a novel construct that carries extremely limited interactions with respect to the terrestrial detectors made of the standard model material. Both the "luminous" and "dark" matter turn out to be residents of the same representation space but they derive their respective "luminosity" and "darkness" from either belonging to the sector with (CPT)2 = +𝟙, or to the sector with (CPT)2 = -𝟙.

Abstract In the standard model, the weak scale is the only parameter with mass dimensions. This means that the standard model itself cannot explain the origin of the weak scale. On the other hand, from the results of recent accelerator experiments, except for some small corrections, the standard model has increased the possibility of being an effective theory up to the Planck scale. From these facts, it is naturally inferred that the weak scale is determined by some dynamics from the Planck scale. In order to answer this question, we rely on the multiple point criticality principle as a clue and consider the classically conformal $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant two-scalar model as a minimal model in which the weak scale is generated dynamically from the Planck scale. This model contains only two real scalar fields and does not contain any fermions or gauge fields. In this model, due to a Coleman–Weinberg-like mechanism, the one-scalar field spontaneously breaks the $ \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry with a vacuum expectation value connected with the cutoff momentum. We investigate this using the one-loop effective potential, renormalization group and large-$N$ limit. We also investigate whether it is possible to reproduce the mass term and vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field by coupling this model with the standard model in the Higgs portal framework. In this case, the one-scalar field that does not break $\mathbb{Z}_2$ can be a candidate for dark matter and have a mass of about several TeV in appropriate parameters. On the other hand, the other scalar field breaks $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and has a mass of several tens of GeV. These results will be verifiable in near-future experiments.

We speculate on a version of the "standard" model of the electroweak and strong interactions coupled to gravity and equipped with a spontaneously broken, anomalous, conformal gauge symmetry. The scalar sector is virtually absent in the minimal model but in the general case it shows up in the form of a nonlinear harmonic map Lagrangian. A Euclidean approach to the cosmological constant problem is also addressed in this framework.

clause whereby it was a condition of acceptance that goods would be charged at prices ruling at the date of delivery. The defendant buyers replied on 27 May 1969, giving an order with differences from the sellers’ quotation and with their own terms and conditions, which had no price variation clause. The order had a tear-off acknowledgment for signature and return which accepted the order ‘on the terms and conditions thereon’. On 5 June 1969, the sellers, after acknowledging receipt of the order on 4 June, returned the acknowledgment form duly completed with a covering letter stating that delivery was to be ‘in accordance with our revised quotation of 23 May for delivery in ... March/April 1970’. The machine was ready by about September 1970, but the buyers could not accept delivery until November 1970. The sellers invoked the price increase clause and claimed £2,892 for the increase due to the rise in costs between 27 May 1969 and 1 April 1970, when the machine should have been delivered. Thesiger J gave judgment for the sellers for £2,892 and interest. The buyers appealed. The Court of Appeal unanimously reversed the first instance decision, all three judges feeling that the conclusive act was the sellers’ return of the tear-off acknowledgment slip. However, the reasons given by the judges for arriving at their decision differed. Bridge LJ and Lawton LJ broadly applied the standard model of ‘offer – counter-offer – acceptance’ to this ‘battle of the forms’, although both of them were clearly aware of the difficulties that this would cause. Lord Denning’s approach, not untypically, ranged much more widely. Unlike the other two judges, who can be seen to adopt a broadly ‘last shot’ theory (that is, that the ‘battle’ is won by the person who submits their terms last), Lord Denning was prepared to countenance a number of other possibilities. The following passages serve to indicate these divergences in approach: Butler Machine Tool Co Ltd v Ex-Cell-O Corpn (England) Ltd [1979] 1 WLR 401, CA, p 402
