Reduction of One-loop Tensor Form-Factors to Scalar Integrals: A General Scheme

A general method for reducing tensor form factors, that appear in one-loop calculations in dimensional regularization, to scalar integrals is presented. The method is an extension of the reduction scheme introduced by Passarino and Veltman and is applicable in all regions of parameter space including those where kinematic Gram determinant vanishes. New relations between the the form factors that valid for vanishing Gram determinant play a key role in the extended scheme.

Left-Right Asymetry From Supersymmetry in Polarized Møller Scattering

We calculate the leading contribution to the left-right asymmetry in polarized Møller scattering from the superpartners in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), using an effective lagrangian approach. We determine the maximum asymmetry that can result from the superpartners in the MSSM under different scenarios, and discuss the feasibility of a high-precision, low-energy ($\sqrt{s}\approx 200~{\rm MeV}$) Møller scattering experiment to see supersymmetry.

Interacting scalar fields in de Sitter space

We investigate the massless $λϕ^4$ theory in de~Sitter space. It is unnatural to assume a minimally coupled interacting scalar field, since $ξ=0$ is not a fixed point of the renormalization group once interactions are included. In fact, the only case where perturbation theory can be trusted is when the field is non-minimally coupled at the minimum of the effective potential. Thus, in perturbation theory, there is no infrared divergence associated with this scalar field.
