Braid group

In mathematics, the braid group on strands (denoted B_n), also known as the Artin braid group, is the group whose elements are equivalence classes of n-braids (e.g. under ambient isotopy), and whose group operation is composition of braids (see). Example applications of braid groups include knot theory, where any knot may be represented as the closure of certain braids (a result known as Alexander's theorem); in mathematical physics where Artin's canonical presentation of the braid group corresponds to the Yang–Baxter equation (see); and in monodromy invariants of algebraic geometry.

Composite Higgs models

In particle physics, composite Higgs models (CHM) are speculative extensions of the Standard Model (SM) where the Higgs boson is a bound state of new strong interactions. Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and composite Higgs models are physics beyond the Standard Model.

Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics

The Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics is a quarterly peer-reviewed open access scientific journal that was established in 2003.

Elementary particle

In particle physics, an elementary particle or fundamental particle is a subatomic particle that is not composed of other particles.

See Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and Elementary particle

In physics, extra dimensions are proposed additional space or time dimensions beyond the (3 + 1) typical of observed spacetime, such as the first attempts based on the Kaluza–Klein theory. Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and extra dimensions are physics beyond the Standard Model.

Field (physics)

In science, a field is a physical quantity, represented by a scalar, vector, or tensor, that has a value for each point in space and time.

Hierarchy problem

In theoretical physics, the hierarchy problem is the problem concerning the large discrepancy between aspects of the weak force and gravity. Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and hierarchy problem are physics beyond the Standard Model.

Higgs boson

The Higgs boson, sometimes called the Higgs particle, is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics produced by the quantum excitation of the Higgs field, one of the fields in particle physics theory. Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and Higgs boson are electroweak theory and mass.

Higgs mechanism

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the Higgs mechanism is essential to explain the generation mechanism of the property "mass" for gauge bosons. Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and Higgs mechanism are electroweak theory.

Loop quantum gravity

Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a theory of quantum gravity that incorporates matter of the Standard Model into the framework established for the intrinsic quantum gravity case. Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and Loop quantum gravity are physics beyond the Standard Model.

Mass

Mass is an intrinsic property of a body.

Particle physics

Particle physics or high-energy physics is the study of fundamental particles and forces that constitute matter and radiation.

Physical Review

Physical Review is a peer-reviewed scientific journal established in 1893 by Edward Nichols.

Physical Review Letters

Physical Review Letters (PRL), established in 1958, is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal that is published 52 times per year by the American Physical Society.

Physics applications of asymptotically safe gravity

The '''asymptotic safety''' approach to quantum gravity provides a nonperturbative notion of renormalization in order to find a consistent and predictive quantum field theory of the gravitational interaction and spacetime geometry.

Physics Letters

Physics Letters was a scientific journal published from 1962 to 1966, when it split in two series now published by Elsevier.

Preon

In particle physics, preons are hypothetical point particles, conceived of as sub-components of quarks and leptons.

Quantum chromodynamics

In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the study of the strong interaction between quarks mediated by gluons.

Quantum triviality

In a quantum field theory, charge screening can restrict the value of the observable "renormalized" charge of a classical theory.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a spontaneous process of symmetry breaking, by which a physical system in a symmetric state spontaneously ends up in an asymmetric state.

Standard Model

The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions – excluding gravity) in the universe and classifying all known elementary particles.

Sundance Osland Bilson-Thompson is an Australian theoretical particle physicist.

Superconductivity

Superconductivity is a set of physical properties observed in certain materials where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic fields are expelled from the material.

Superfluid vacuum theory

Superfluid vacuum theory (SVT), sometimes known as the BEC vacuum theory, is an approach in theoretical physics and quantum mechanics where the fundamental physical vacuum (non-removable background) is considered as a superfluid or as a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC). Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and superfluid vacuum theory are physics beyond the Standard Model.

Technicolor (physics)

Technicolor theories are models of physics beyond the Standard Model that address electroweak gauge symmetry breaking, the mechanism through which W and Z bosons acquire masses. Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and Technicolor (physics) are electroweak theory, mass and physics beyond the Standard Model.

Top quark condensate

In particle physics, the top quark condensate theory (or top condensation) is an alternative to the Standard Model fundamental Higgs field, where the Higgs boson is a composite field, composed of the top quark and its antiquark. Alternatives to the Standard Higgs Model and top quark condensate are physics beyond the Standard Model.
