The main goal of this work is to pursue an investigation of cosmic string configurations focusing on possible consequences of the Lorentz-symmetry breaking by a background vector. We analyze the possibility of cosmic strings as a viable source for fermionic Cold Dark Matter particles. Whenever the latter are charged and have mass of the order of $10^{13}GeV$, we propose they could decay into usual cosmic rays. We have also contemplated the sector of neutral particles generated in our model. Indeed, being neutral, these particles are hard to be detected; however, by virtue of the Lorentz-symmetry breaking background vector, it is possible that they may present an electromagnetic interaction with a significant magnetic moment.

Brane world six dimensional scenarios with string like metric has been proposed to alleviate the problem of field localization. However, these models have been suffering from some drawbacks related with energy conditions as well as from difficulties to find analytical solutions. In this work, we propose a model where a brane is made of a scalar field with bounce-type configurations and embedded in a bulk with a string-like metric. This model produces a sound AdS scenario where none of the important physical quantities is infinite. Among these quantities are the components of the energy momentum tensor, which have its positivity ensured by a suitable choice of the bounce configurations. Another advantage of this model is that the warp factor can be obtained analytically from the equations of motion for the scalar field, obtaining as a result a thick brane configuration, in a six dimensional context. Moreover, the study of the scalar field localization in these scenario is done.
In this paper we consider features of graviton scattering in Matrix theory compactified on a 2-torus. The features which interest us can only be determined by nonperturbative effects in the corresponding 2+1 dimensional super Yang Mills theory. We sh ow that the superconformal symmetry of strongly coupled Super Yang Mills Theory in 2+1 dimensions almost determines low energy, large impact parameter ten dimensional graviton scattering at zero longitudinal momentum in the Matrix model of IIB string theory. We then show that amplitudes involving arbitrary transverse momentum transfer are governed by instanton processes similar to the Polchinski Pouliot process. Finally we consider the influence of instantons on a conjectured nonrenormalization theorem. This theorem is violated by instanton processes. Far from being a problem, this fact is seen to be crucial to the consistency of the IIB interpretation. We suggest that the SO(8) invariance of strongly coupled SYM theory may lead to a proof of eleven dimensional Lorentz invariance.

This is an introductory review about the on-going search for a signal of Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) in cosmic rays. We first summarise basic aspects of cosmic rays, focusing on rays of ultra high energy (UHECRs). We discuss the Greisen-Zatsep in-Kuzmin (GZK) energy cutoff for cosmic protons, which is predicted due to photopion production in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This is a process of modest energy in the proton rest frame. It can be investigated to a high precision in the laboratory, if Lorentz transformations apply even at factors $gamma sim O(10^{11})$. For heavier nuclei the energy attenuation is even faster due to photo-disintegration, again if this process is Lorentz invariant. Hence the viability of Lorentz symmetry up to tremendous gamma-factors - far beyond accelerator tests - is a central issue. Next we comment on conceptual aspects of Lorentz Invariance and the possibility of its spontaneous breaking. This could lead to slightly particle dependent ``Maximal Attainable Velocities. We discuss their effect in decays, Cerenkov radiation, the GZK cutoff and neutrino oscillation in cosmic rays. We also review the search for LIV in cosmic gamma-rays. For multi TeV gamma-rays we possibly encounter another puzzle related to the transparency of the CMB, similar to the GZK cutoff. The photons emitted in a Gamma Ray Burst occur at lower energies, but their very long path provides access to information not far from the Planck scale. No LIV has been observed so far. However, even extremely tiny LIV effects could change the predictions for cosmic ray physics drastically. An Appendix is devoted to the recent hypothesis by the Pierre Auger Collaboration, which identifies nearby Active Galactic Nuclei - or objects next to them - as probable UHECR sources.
In this paper we construct and study a formulation of a chargeless complex vector matter field in a supersymmetric framework. To this aim we combine two no-chiral scalar superfields in order to take the vector component field to build the chargeless complex vector superpartner where the respective field strength transforms as matter fields by a global $U(1)$ gauge symmetry. To the aim to deal with consistent terms without breaking the global $U(1)$ symmetry it imposes a choice to the complex combination revealing a kind of symmetry between the choices and eliminate the extra degrees of freedom consistently with the supersymmetry. As the usual case the mass supersymmetric sector contributes as a complement to dynamics of the model. We obtain the equations of motion of the Procas type field, for the chiral spinor fields and for the scalar field on the mass-shell which show the same mass as expected. This work establishes the firsts steps to extend the analysis of charged massive vector field in a supersymmetric scenario.
We study the observability of the Higgs mode in BEC-BCS crossover. The observability of Higgs mode is investigated by calculating the spectral weight functions of the amplitude fluctuation below the critical transition temperature. At zero temperatur e, we find that there are two sharp peaks on the spectral function of the amplitude fluctuation attributed to Goldstone and Higgs modes respectively. As the system goes from BCS to BEC side, there is strong enhancement of spectral weight transfer from the Higgs to Goldstone mode. However, even at the unitary regime where the Lorentz invariance is lost, the sharp feature of Higgs mode still exists. We specifically calculate the finite temperature spectral function of amplitude fluctuation at the unitary regime and show that the Higgs mode is observable at the temperature that present experiments can reach.
