We describe a framework to develop, implement and validate any perturbative Lagrangian-based particle physics model for further theoretical, phenomenological and experimental studies. The starting point is FeynRules, a Mathematica package that allows to generate Feynman rules for any Lagrangian and then, through dedicated interfaces, automatically pass the corresponding relevant information to any supported Monte Carlo event generator. We prove the power, robustness and flexibility of this approach by presenting a few examples of new physics models (the Hidden Abelian Higgs Model, the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, the most general Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the Minimal Higgsless Model, Universal and Large Extra Dimensions, and QCD-inspired effective Lagrangians) and their implementation/validation in FeynArts/FormCalc, CalcHep, MadGraph/MadEvent, and Sherpa.

Extending the Standard Model with higher-dimensional operators in an effective-field-theory (EFT) approach provides a systematic framework to study new-physics (NP) effects from a bottom-up perspective, as long as the NP scale is sufficiently large c ompared to the energies probed in the experimental observables. However, when taking into account the different quark and lepton flavours, the number of free parameters increases dramatically, which makes generic studies of the NP flavour structure infeasible. In this paper, we address this issue in view of the recently observed flavour anomalies in $B$-meson decays, which we take as a motivation to develop a general framework that allows us to systematically reduce the number of flavour parameters in the EFT. This framework can be easily used in global fits to flavour observables at Belle II and LHCb as well as in analyses of flavour-dependent collider signatures at the LHC. Our formalism represents an extension of the well-known minimal-flavour-violation approach, and uses Froggatt-Nielsen charges to define the flavour power-counting. As a relevant illustration of the formalism, we apply it to the flavour structures which could be induced by a $U_1$ vector leptoquark, which represents one of the possible explanations for the recent hints of flavour non-universality in semileptonic $B$-decays. We study the phenomenological viability of this specific framework performing a fit to low-energy flavour observables.

Lehmann, Symanzik and Zimmermann (LSZ) proved a theorem showing how to obtain the S-matrix from time-ordered Green functions. Their result, the reduction formula, is fundamental to practical calculations of scattering processes. A known problem is th at the operators that they use to create asymptotic states create much else besides the intended particles for a scattering process. In the infinite-time limits appropriate to scattering, the extra contributions only disappear in matrix elements with normalizable states, rather than in the created states themselves, i.e., the infinite-time limits of the LSZ creation operators are weak limits. The extra particles that are created are in a different region of space-time than the intended scattering process. To be able to work with particle creation at non-asymptotic times, e.g., to give a transparent and fully deductive treatment for scattering with long-lived unstable particles, it is necessary to have operators for which the infinite-time limits are strong limits. In this paper, I give an improved method of constructing such operators. I use them to give an improved systematic account of scattering theory in relativistic quantum field theories, including a new proof of the reduction formula. I make explicit calculations to illustrate the problems with the LSZ operators and their solution with the new operators. Not only do these verify the existence of the extra particles created by the LSZ operators and indicate a physical interpretation, but they also show that the extra components are so large that their contribution to the norm of the state is ultra-violet divergent in renormalizable theories. Finally, I discuss the relation of this work to the work of Haag and Ruelle on scattering theory.
Electroweak symmetry non-restoration up to high temperatures well above the electroweak scale offers new alternatives for baryogenesis. We propose a new approach for electroweak symmetry non-restoration via an inert Higgs sector that couples to the S tandard Model Higgs as well as an extended scalar singlet sector. We implement renormalization group improvements and thermal resummation, necessary to evaluate the effective potential spanning over a broad range of energy scales and temperatures. We present examples of benchmark scenarios that allow for electroweak symmetry non-restoration all the way up to hundreds of TeV temperatures, and also feature suppressed sphaleron washout factors down to the electroweak scale. Our method for transmitting the Standard Model broken electroweak symmetry to an inert Higgs sector has several intriguing implications for (electroweak) baryogenesis, early universe thermal histories, and can be scrutinized through Higgs physics phenomenology and electroweak precision measurements at the HL-LHC.
Determining the space complexity of $x$-obstruction-free $k$-set agreement for $xleq k$ is an open problem. In $x$-obstruction-free protocols, processes are required to return in executions where at most $x$ processes take steps. The best known upper bound on the number of registers needed to solve this problem among $n>k$ processes is $n-k+x$ registers. No general lower bound better than $2$ was known. We prove that any $x$-obstruction-free protocol solving $k$-set agreement among $n>k$ processes uses at least $lfloor(n-x)/(k+1-x)rfloor+1$ registers. Our main tool is a simulation that serves as a reduction from the impossibility of deterministic wait-free $k$-set agreement: if a protocol uses fewer registers, then it is possible for $k+1$ processes to simulate the protocol and deterministically solve $k$-set agreement in a wait-free manner, which is impossible. A critical component of the simulation is the ability of simulating processes to revise the past of simulated processes. We introduce a new augmented snapshot object, which facilitates this. We also prove that any space lower bound on the number of registers used by obstruction-free protocols applies to protocols that satisfy nondeterministic solo termination. Hence, our lower bound of $lfloor(n-1)/krfloor+1$ for the obstruction-free ($x=1$) case also holds for randomized wait-free free protocols. In particular, this gives a tight lower bound of exactly $n$ registers for solving obstruction-free and randomized wait-free consensus. Finally, our new techniques can be applied to get a space lower of $lfloor n/2rfloor+1$ for $epsilon$-approximate agreement, for sufficiently small $epsilon$. It requires participating processes to return values within $epsilon$ of each other. The best known upper bounds are $lceillog(1/epsilon)rceil$ and $n$, while no general lower bounds were known.

Parton recombination is reconsidered in perturbation theory without using the AGK cutting rules in the leading order of the recombination. We use time-ordered perturbation theory to sum the cut diagrams, which are neglected in the GLR evolution equat ion. We present a set of new evolution equations including parton recombination.
