Superluminal velocity through near-maximal neutrino oscillations or by being off shell
No full textRecently it was suggested that the observation of superluminal neutrinos by the OPERA collaboration may be due to group velocity effects resulting from close-to-maximal oscillation between neutrino mass eigenstates, in analogy to known effects in optics. We show that superluminal propagation does occur through this effect for a series of very narrow energy ranges, but this phenomenon cannot explain the OPERA measurement. Superluminal propagation can also occur if one of the neutrino masses is extremely small. However the effect only has appreciable amplitude at energies of order this mass and thus has negligible overlap with the multi-GeV scale of the experiment

Renormalizable extra-dimensional models
No full textNon-Abelian gauge theories may have continuum limits in more than four dimensions, supported by non-trivial ultra-violet fixed points. Moreover, such theories can be expected to be accessible to Wilson's epsilon expansion. We investigate this series for SU(N) Yang-Mills, in particular for the fixed point coupling and critical exponent nu, up to four loops. From the model-building point of view, such theories would be effectively perturbatively renormalizable in the normal way. A particularly attractive possibility is the construction of renormalizable extra-dimensional models of the weak interactions, which have the potential to address the full hierarchy problem. The simplest such gauge-Higgs unification model is however ruled out by a combination of theoretical and phenomenological constraints
Large curvature and background scale independence in single-metric approximations to asymptotic safety
No full textIn single-metric approximations to the exact renormalization group (RG) for quantum gravity, it has been not been clear how to treat the large curvature domain beyond the point where the effective cutoff scale k is less than the lowest eigenvalue of the appropriate modified Laplacian. We explain why this puzzle arises from background dependence, resulting in Wilsonian RG concepts being inapplicable. We show that when properly formulated over an ensemble of backgrounds, the Wilsonian RG can be restored. This in turn implies that solutions should be smooth and well defined no matter how large the curvature is taken. Even for the standard single-metric type approximation schemes, this construction can be rigorously derived by imposing a modified Ward identity (mWI) corresponding to rescaling the background metric by a constant factor. However compatibility in this approximation requires the space-time dimension to be six. Solving the mWI and flow equation simultaneously, new variables are then derived that are independent of overall background scale
