Interplay of Higgs and Sparticle Masses in the CMSSM with updated SUSY constraints
No full textWe estimate the bounds on Higgs and sparticle masses and discuss their correlations in the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (CMSSM). In our analysis we have applied the present constraints from collider and low energy experiments, as well as the experimental bound on cold dark matter from WMAP. For a given lightest Higgs boson mass, which is expected to be measured with good precision at the LHC, we find important correlations between the Higgs and sparticle masses which allows one to delineate the MSSM model parameters and particle spectra. We have also demonstrated an important complementarity between the LHC and direct dark matter detection experiments emphasizing that by including the experimental input both from collider physics and from dark matter detection experiments, one would significantly improve the measurement of the SUSY spectrum and the underlying parameter space
Satirical Lirics by Ilia Chavchavadze
Get PDF12 from Ilia Chavchavadze’s 77 poems are satirical. This percentage
is not very high, but it must be considered that Ilia’s satirical poems and
his story Is a Human a Man?! Resulted in such reaction from the society,
as none of other writers’ satirical literary works have.
Ilia’s satirical verses of the 60s are of general character: the poet
scolds the injustice and the governor, who commits all the sins because
of money (Sound from the Grave); he believes the advice from the drunkard
to be irrelevant, as the latter takes life lightly, “as a bird” and avoids
having any responsibilities (Advice of the Drunkard); if the writers from
the Renaissance Era artificially mocked the fate, the image created thanks
to Ilia’s imagination skills – the Fate dancing to Poet’s Duduk – puts it (the
Fate) in a truly pathetic situation, while Ilia raises over it and looks at it
from above.
More “attacking” satirical poems appear in Ilia’s literary works from
the 70s. They were created one after another and were aimed at waking up
the society. One of such is – What we have done, what we have been doing
or Georgian history of the 19th century. Ilia’s satirical poems are mostly of
riddle form or are pure riddles. By the form, we mean saying the truth in
a concealed, hinting form. Therefore, a reader must guess which real fact
or person the verses are meant about. It may also be that Ilia is not in
certain cases aiming to disguise the truth, but, readers may not be able to
guess the event meant by the author, may not have relevant information
about it. For example, in this poem we decrypted the words said about
King Giorgi XII – “He has assigned the Leks as our guardians”; we also
identified the person who was against the creation of the bank, as he did
not worry about “childless” future himself. It is noteworthy that, for describing
Georgian nation, in parallel with negative, satirical epithets, Ilia
also uses positive epithets, which lose function against the background
of all the negative. Ilia’s “sword” must be very painful if a reader realizes
the described defects and believes oneself to be part of those defects, as
a representative of this nation.
Several months after this poem was written, Ilia created two more
satirical verses – Riddles and More Riddles. If in folklore riddles the necessary
connection between the situation described in text and meant
object is not seen in folklore riddles, in a literary riddle text is in direct
connection with the object; there is no naivety of relating in it and the
necessary reference is apparent. Literary riddle preserves its form from
the viewpoint that by listing specific features, it points back to the specific; it stops at one, from many options. Ilia’s Riddles and More Riddles were
created as result of specific fact. In 1871, for the arrival of Emperor Alexander
II, Georgian Nobility prepared an Address to the Emperor on the
request to open university in Tbilisi, but the then Marshal of the Nobility
Revaz Andronikashvili agreed to the desire of a certain group of the nobles
and presented to the Emperor the address with the request to open
Cadet Corps in Tbilisi. Ilia considered such slavish and flattery attitude
towards the Emperor as the betrayal of patriotic affairs and dedicated
riddles to all those who took part in it.
In response to those literary works was created Grigol Orbeliani’s
Response to the Sons, which was written by not so upset Grigol Orbeliani
just for having the excuse “up, there”. Ilia’s Response to Response followed
immediately after.
Ilia agrees to the pose of the oppressed and uses the same offensive
vocabulary used by Grigol Orbeliani when describing the modern generation
(“You, little kittens, where are you meowing from…” and etc.), but
this pose is not the only one expressing Ilia’s satirical attitude to the old
generation. He makes emphasis on their ranks, which they have sacrificed
the fate of the country to.
Ilia’s satirical-humorous
poem The Two-Voice New-Year Operetta,
reveals the whole spectrum of Georgian publicist life; expressed in separate
nuances of interrelation of periodicals and their employees. In general,
the New Year Operetta is aimed against the Third Troupe and its leader;
it also targets the publicists who cooperate with Kvali (Tracks) Newspaper
and also those who oppose Ilia in the banking affairs. As usual, Ilia himself
is one of the characters. When discussing himself, the author keeps
the satirical attitude. Ilia’s style is, along with revealing the bad, to praise
what is good. In the More Riddles and the Operetta, the poet also includes
those public figures, who he only says good about.
One of Ilia’s untitled satirical verses is included in the section of excerpts
of the publication of his literary works of 1914; it appears that the
publishers did not consider it as a finished poem. Indeed, we cannot see
specific signs characterizing a person in those riddles, in order to be able
to identify the addressee. In our article, we also attempted to identify
those addressees.
As we can see, Ilia’s satire lyrics were mainly created during 70s-90s,
in relation to specific events and persons. Ilia masterly uses satire expression
techniques: pose of the oppressed, change of the satire object by mocking own self, imitating-remaking
another literary work, their intertextual
usage, naivety characterizing folklore, irony, representing an
event in an opposite aspect, satirical comparison, epithets, metaphors,
underestimation technique and etc. Ilia’s satire has public significance.
The Poet mainly “attacks” those, in the actions of whom he sees lack of
national feelings
Muon g-2 in gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models with adjoint messengers
No full textWe explored the sparticle mass spectrum in light of the muon g -2 anomaly and the little hierarchy problem in a class of the gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking model. Here, the messenger fields transform in the adjoint representation of the Standard Model gauge symmetry. To avoid unacceptably light right-handed slepton masses, the Standard Model is supplemented by the additional U(1)(B-L) gauge symmetry. A nonzero U(1)(B-L) D term makes the right-handed slepton masses compatible with the current experimental bounds. We show that in the framework of Lambda(3) < 0 and mu < 0 the muon g -2 anomaly and the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson mass can be simultaneously accommodated. The slepton masses in this case are predicted to lie in the few hundred GeV range, which can be tested at the LHC. Despite the heavy colored sparticle spectrum, the little hierarchy problem in this model can be ameliorated, and the electroweak fine-tuning parameter can be as low as 10 or so.Bartol Research Institut
Anglicized words and misspelled cognates in native language identification
No full textIn this paper, we present experiments that estimate the impact of specific lexical choices of people writing in a second language (L2). In particular, we look at misspelled words that indicate lexical uncertainty on the part of the author, and separate them into three categories: misspelled cognates, “L2-ed” (in our case, anglicized) words, and all other spelling errors. We test the assumption that such errors contain clues about the native language of an essay’s author through the task of native language identification. The results of the experiments show that the information brought by each of these categories is complementary. We also note that while the distribution of such features changes with the proficiency level of the writer, their contribution towards native language identification remains significant at all levels

Reconciling the muon g-2, a 125 GeV Higgs boson, and dark matter in gauge mediation models
No full textWe present a class of models in the framework of gauge mediation supersymmetry breaking where the standard model is supplemented by additional U(1) symmetry which acts only on the third generation fermions. The messenger fields carry a nontrivial U(1) charge and are vectorlike particles under this symmetry. This leads to additional contributions to the soft supersymmetry breaking mass terms for the third-generation squarks and sleptons. In this framework we show that the muon g - 2 anomaly, the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson mass and the detected relic dark matter abundance (gravitino in our case) can be simultaneously accommodated. The resolution of the muon g - 2 anomaly, in particular, yields the result that masses of squarks in the first two families, as well the gluino mass, should be less than or similar to 2.5 TeV, which will be tested at LHC14.United States Department of Energy (DOE) (DE-SC0013880)National Science Foundation (NSF) (OCI-1053575)Rustaveli National Science Foundation (03/79
