General methods of solving equations deal with solving N equations in N variables and the solutions are usually a set of discrete values. However, for problems with a softly broken symmetry these methods often first find a point which would be a solution if the symmetry were exact, and is thus an approximate solution. After this, the solver needs to move in the direction of the symmetry to find the actual solution, but that can be very difficult if this direction is not a straight line in the space of variables. The solution can often be found much more quickly by adding the generators of the softly broken symmetry as auxiliary variables. This makes the number of variables more than the equations and hence there will be a family of solutions, any one of which would be acceptable. In this paper we present a procedure for finding solutions in this case, and apply it to several simple examples and an important problem in the physics of false vacuum decay. We also provide a Mathematica package that implements Powells hybrid method with the generalization to allow more variables than equations.

Cosmography becomes non-predictive when cosmic data span beyond the red shift limit $zsimeq1 $. This leads to a emph{strong convergence issue} that jeopardizes its viability. In this work, we critically compare the two main solutions of the convergen ce problem, i.e. the $y$-parametrizations of the redshift and the alternatives to Taylor expansions based on Pade series. In particular, among several possibilities, we consider two widely adopted parametrizations, namely $y_1=1-a$ and $y_2=arctan(a^{-1}-1)$, being $a$ the scale factor of the Universe. We find that the $y_2$-parametrization performs relatively better than the $y_1$-parametrization over the whole redshift domain. Even though $y_2$ overcomes the issues of $y_1$, we get that the most viable approximations of the luminosity distance $d_L(z)$ are given in terms of Pade approximations. In order to check this result by means of cosmic data, we analyze the Pade approximations up to the fifth order, and compare these series with the corresponding $y$-variables of the same orders. We investigate two distinct domains involving Monte Carlo analysis on the Pantheon Superovae Ia data, $H(z)$ and shift parameter measurements. We conclude that the (2,1) Pade approximation is statistically the optimal approach to explain low and high-redshift data, together with the fifth-order $y_2$-parametrization. At high redshifts, the (3,2) Pade approximation cannot be fully excluded, while the (2,2) Pade one is essentially ruled out.
We develop methods to study the scalar sector of multi-Higgs models with large discrete symmetry groups that are softly broken. While in the exact symmetry limit, the model has very few parameters and can be studied analytically, proliferation of qua dratic couplings in the most general softly broken case makes the analysis cumbersome. We identify two sets of soft breaking terms which play different roles: those which preserve the symmetric vacuum expectation value alignment, and the remaining terms which shift it. Focusing on alignment preserving terms, we check which structural features of the symmetric parent model are conserved and which are modified. We find remarkable examples of structural features which are inherited from the parent symmetric model and which persist even when no exact symmetry is left. The general procedure is illustrated with the example of the three-Higgs-doublet model with the softly broken symmetry group $Sigma(36)$.

In this article we develop a numerical scheme to deal with interfaces between touching numerical grids when solving the second-order wave equation. We show that it is possible to implement an interface scheme of penalty type for the second-order wave equation, similar to the ones used for first-order hyperbolic and parabolic equations, and the second-order scheme used by Mattsson et al (2008). These schemes, known as SAT schemes for finite difference approximations and penalties for spectral ones, and ours share similar properties but in our case one needs to pass at the interface a smaller amount of data than previously known schemes. This is important for multi-block parallelizations in several dimensions, for it implies that one obtains the same solution quality while sharing among different computational grids only a fraction of the data one would need for a comparable (in accuracy) SAT or Mattsson et al.s scheme. The semi-discrete approximation used here preserves the norm and uses standard finite-difference operators satisfying summation by parts. For the time integrator we use a semi-implicit IMEX Runge-Kutta method. This is crucial, since the explicit Runge-Kutta method would be impractical given the severe restrictions that arise from the stiff parts of the equations.
We study the duality cascade of softly broken supersymmetric theories. We investigate the renormalization group (RG) flow of SUSY breaking terms as well as supersymmetric couplings. It is found that the magnitudes of SUSY breaking terms are suppresse d in most regimes of the RG flow through the duality cascade. At one stage of cascading, the gaugino mass of the strongly coupled sector and scalar masses converge to certain values, which are determined by the gauge coupling and the gaugino mass of the weakly coupled sector. At the next stage, the strongly and weakly coupled sectors are interchanged with each other. We also show the possibility that cascading would be terminated by the gauge symmetry breaking, which is induced by the so-called B-term.
In this note we study the eigenvalue problem for a quadratic form associated with Strichartz estimates for the Schr{o}dinger equation, proving in particular a sharp Strichartz inequality for the case of odd initial data. We also describe an alternati ve method that is applicable to a wider class of matrix problems.
