Liouville integrability of Hamiltonian systems and spacetime symmetry
ABSTRACT : Hamiltonian dynamical systems are said to be integrable in the Liouville sense if there exists a
maximal set of first integrals that are Poisson commuting with each other. However, it is not always
easy to find such a set of first integrals for a given system. In this talk, I will show that any natural
Hamiltonian dynamics can be rephrased as geodesic problem in a curved spacetime, where the
existence of first integrals in the original Hamiltonian system corresponds to the existence of
symmetry of the corresponding spacetime, and discuss on a technique for finding spacetime symmetry.

Killing-Yano symmetry and supergravity black holes
ABSTRACT : Killing-Yano symmetry has been thought of as hidden symmetry of spacetimes because thanks to
such symmetry equations of motion for test particles and test scalar and Dirac fields -
- Hamilton-Jacobi, Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations -- can be solved by separation of variables.
The most remarkable property of spacetimes admitting Killing-Yano symmetry is that when the
vacuum Einstein equation is assumed, metrics on such spacetimes are determined to be black
hole solutions. In this talk, I will discuss on black hole solutions admitting Killing-Yano symmetry
in the context of supergravity theory.

Ramond-Ramond couplings of D-branes
ABSTRACT : We find the general Ramond-Ramond coupling formula including open string massive modes on
D9-branes in the context of the boundary string field theory (BSFT). For superstring theory,
the BSFT action of open string is given by a disk worldsheet partiton function with boundary
interactions corresponding to open string excitations. Applying the supersymmetric localization
technique to superstring worldsheet theory with arbitrary worldsheet-supersymmetric boundary
interactions, we find that a finite number of massive modes can contriute to Ramond-Ramond
coupling formula and that the formula is written in terms of Quillen's superconnection including
higher form fields. We also find that any D9-branes creation via condensation of massive modes
never happens.

Comments on Entanglement Entropy in the dS/CFT Correspondence
ABSTRACT : We consider the entanglement entropy in the dS/CFT correspondence. In Einstein gravity on
de Sitter spacetime we propose the holographic entanglement entropy as the analytic continuation
of the extremal surface in Euclidean anti-de Sitter spacetime. Even though dual conformal field
theories for Einstein gravity on de Sitter spacetime have not been known yet, we analyzed the
free Sp(N) model dual to Vasiliev's higher spin gauge theory as a toy model. In this model we
confirmed the behaviour similar to our holographic result from Einstein gravity.

Closed Superstrings at Finite Temperature in the Framework of Thermo Field Dynamics
ABSTRACT : Although the finite temperature systems of strings have been mainly examined in the framework
of Matsubara formalism, quite a few works have been done to investigate these systems in the
framework of thermo field dynamics. Previously we have calculated the thermal vacuum state
and the partition function for a single closed superstring in the framework of thermo field dynamics.
From this we can reproduce the free energy for multiple strings in the case of Matsubara method.
However it is unsatisfactory to derive free energy in such a way, since the free energy for multiple
strings should be obtained by only calculating the expectation value of the corresponding operator
in the thermal vacuum state. In this talk, we compute the thermal vacuum state for multiple closed
superstrings based on free light-cone superstring field theory. From this we can reproduce the
free energy for closed superstrings in the case of Matsubara method. We comment on the relation
between this closed superstrings at finite temperature and the open superstrings on D9-brane-
-anti-D9-brane pairs.

Dark matter in universal extra dimension models
Abstract : Models where all the Standard Model particle propagate in extra dimensions, so-called universal
extra dimension models, can be accompanied by symmetry related to their geometry. Due to the
symmetry, the lightest first Kaluza-Klein (KK) particle that is a partner of one of the neutral
standard model particles, mostly that of the hypercharge gauge boson is stabilized and thus an
excellent candidate for dark matter. As a consequence, the first KK mode of hypercharge gauge
boson can be a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) whose thermal relic abundance
satisfies the observed dark matter abundance. In this talk, we focus this case and show that
various first and second KK particles affect the amount of this WIMP candidate drastically. We
also discuss experimental signatures of such models at direct and indirect dark matter detections
as well as at on-going and future colliders.

Baryon Asymmetry and Inflation in a Radiative Seesaw Model
Abstract : The standard model has serious problems from experimental and observational standpoints
neutrino masses, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe. A radiative seesaw model is
known as a candidate which could explain neutrino masses and existence of dark matter
simultaneously. In addition, in this model, the sufficient baryon number asymmetry could be
generated through resonant leptogenesis at TeV scale. We estimate the baryon number asymmetry
and discuss the prospects in the dark matter direct search experiments. In addition to three
problems, inflation should also be explained since the recent CMB observations suggest the
existence of the inflationary era at the early stage of the Universe. Thus, we extend it by a
complex scalar field with specific potential. We show that the inflation favored by the CMB
observations could be realized even if inflaton takes sub-Plankian values during inflation.

Random volumes from matrices
Abstract : We propose a new class of models generating three-dimensional random volumes, where each
configuration consists of triangles glued together along multiple hinges. The models are characterized
by semisimple associative algebras, and the set of possible diagrams can be reduced by an
appropriate large N limit such that they represent only (and all of the) tetrahedral decompositions of
three-dimensional manifolds. We also give a prescription to put local matters on simplices of any
dimensions (tetrahedra, triangles, edges and vertices). Simple examples include the Ising model
coupled to three-dimensional quantum gravity. The three-dimensional colored tensor models can be
obtained by putting specific matters on tetrahedra, triangles and edges at a time.

Unitarity, Electroweak Precision Physics, and Higgs couplings
Abstract : We discuss perturbative unitarity in the 2 -> 2 scattering amplitudes of the longitudinal massive
spin-1 particles. It is naively broken down in the high energy limit since the longitudinal
polarization vector grows as energy.
One way to cancel the bad behavior in the amplitudes is to impose gauge symmetry and to add
spin-0 particles (“Higgs” bosons). These Higgs coupling strengths with massive spin-1 particles
are required to satisfy a set of condition, which is known as “unitarity sum rules[1]”
We (re)visit the unitarity sum rules in the context of the SU(2)×U(1) gauge theory with
arbitrary neutral Higgs bosons. Furthermore, we discuss the implication of the unitarity sum
rules to the electroweak precision tests(EWPTs)[2], which have not been clarified in earlier literature.
Finally, we investigate the mass of the extra neutral Higgs bosons applying the unitarity sum
rules. We find the EWPTs gives us a severe constraints on upper bass bound on the second
lightest neutral Higgs boson.

The ATLAS 2TeV diboson anomalies and Unitarity sum rules
Abstract : We investigate W’ interpretations for the ATLAS 2TeV diboson anomalies from the view point
of the perturbative unitarity in the longitudinal gauge boson scattering amplitudes.
We derive a set of unitarity sum rules in a class of models with the custodial symmetry including
arbitrary number of the custodial triplet vector bosons (W,W’,W’’…) and neutral Higgs bosons
(h,h’,h’’…). We then find the unitarity sum rules give us non-trivial relations among WWZ’,
WZW’,hWW’, and hZZ’ coupling strengths.
Applying the unitarity sum rules, we perform surveys in the general parameter space of W’
models. It is found that the non standard-model-like Higgs boson is favored by the present data
to interpret the ATLAS diboson anomalies as the consequences of the W’ and Z’ bosons.

Soft theorem and consistency relations for the primordial perturbations
Y. Urakawa (Nagoya Univ.)
Abstract : In quantum field theory, it is widely known that a symmetry leads to a corresponding
Ward-Takahashi (WT) identity. For the primordial perturbations, the WT identity of the scaling
symmetry gives the consistency elation, which connects the (n+1)-point function of the curvature
perturbation with one soft xternal leg to the n-point function. We show that the consistency
relation implies the conservation of the curvature perturbation at large scales in holographic
inflation and also in two field models with isocurvature loops.
In the morning session, I'll give a brief review on inflation and (if I have time) also on a holographic
description of inflationary scenario, which provides an alternative description of inflation.
Then, in the afternoon session, I'm going to talk about our recent works.

Lepton flavour violation in the inverse seesaw and its supersymmetric realization
C\(\acute{{\mathrm e}}\)dric Weiland (Universidad Aut\(\acute{{\mathrm o}}\)noma de Madrid)
Abstract : The discovery of neutrino oscillations more than a decade ago called for an extension of the
Standard Model that would generate neutrino masses and mixing. We considered a specific
mechanism, the inverse seesaw, that introduces new fermionic gauge singlets around the TeV
scale with large couplings to SM leptons. This leads to a rich phenomenology and makes it easily
testable at current and future experiments. After describing the inverse seesaw and its
embedding in a supersymmetric framework, we will discuss their predictions for lepton flavour
violating (LFV) observables in light of the recent CMS excess in the Higgs to tau mu channel and
future experimental sensitivities to LFV lepton decays.

LHC phenomenology of natural MSSM with non-universal gaugino masses at the unification scale
J. Kawamura (Waseda Univ.)
Abstract : We study collider phenomenology in the supersymmetric Standard Model with a certain type of
non-universal gaugino masses at the gauge coupling unification scale, motivated by the little
hierarchy problem. In this scenario, especially the wino mass is relatively large compared to the
gluino mass at the unification scale, and the heavy wino can relax the fine-tuning of the higgsino
mass parameter,so-called μ parameter. Besides, it will enhance the lightest Higgs boson mass
due to the relatively large left-right mixing of top squarks through the renormalization group (RG)
effect. Then 125GeV Higgs boson could be accomplished, even if the top squarks are lighter than
1TeV and the μ parameter is within a few hundreds GeV. The right-handed top squark tends to
be lighter than the other sfermions due to the RG runnings, then we focus on the top squark
search at the LHC. Since the top squark is almost right-handed and the higgsinos are nearly
degenerate, 2b + MET channel is the most sensitive to this scenario. We figure out current and
expected experimental bounds on the lightest top squark mass and model parameters at the
gauge coupling unification scale.

Particle physics and cosmology in 5D SUGRA
H. Otsuka (Waseda Univ.)
Abstract : We discuss high- and low-scale SUSY breaking scenarios in the five-dimensional supergravity
model on S^1/Z_2. The extra U(1) symmetries broken by the orbifold projection control the
flavor structure of soft SUSY-breaking parameters as well as the Yukawa couplings, and a
scalar component of the one of moduli multiplets, which arise from extra-dimensional
components of the U(1) vector multiplets, induces the slow-roll inflation. Because of the
supersymmetric moduli stabilization as well as the moduli inflation, it is found that the correct
dark matter relic abundance can be realized in both high- and low-scale SUSY breaking scenarios.
Finally, we embedd the five-dimensional theory into the type IIB string theory on warped throat.

Baryon as Impurity for Phase Transition in String Landscape
Abstract : We consider a decay of a false vacuum in flux compactifications of type IIB string theory and
study a catalytic effect for a hase transition induced by a new type of impurities.
We concentrate on the large $N$ dual of a D5-brane/anti-D5-brane system which has a rich
vacuum structure. We show that D3-branes wrapping the 3-cycles can form a dibaryon and make
a bound state with a monopole. We find that these baryon-like objects can make the lifetime of
the metastable vacuum shorter.

Primordial black hole formation from cosmological fluctuations
T. Harada (Rikkyo Univ.)
Abstract : Primordial black holes are black holes which may have formed in the early universe and affected
the subsequent evolution of the universe through Hawking radiation and as the source of gravitational
field. To predict the abundance of primordial black hole formation for given cosmological scenarios,
it is essential to determine the formation threshold for primordial cosmological fluctuations, which
are naturally described by cosmological long-wavelength solutions. After a brief introcution, I will
talk the recent analytical and numerical results on the primordial black hole formation.
This talk is based on our recent work [1, 2].

The structure of neutrino Majorana mass and \(\mu\)-term induced

S. Uemura (Kyoto Univ.)
Abstract : Dp-brane insatntons are Dp-branes localized at points in 4 dimensional Minkowski space and
warapping on (p+1)-cycles in 6 dimensinal compact space. D-brane instantons are important
non-perturbative effects because they can generate perturbatively forbidden interactions in
D-brane models, for example neutrino Majorana masses, Higgs mu-terms and so on.
In this seminar, I review intersecting D-brane modelbuilding briefly and talk about D-brane
instantons. Then, I compute non-perturbative superpotential in toroidal orbifold, especially
Majorana mass of right-handed neutrino and mu-terms of Higgs on toroidal orbifold.
I discuss its phenomenological implications for the flavor structure of leptons too.

Neutrino physics and non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetry
Abstract : The experiments of neutrino oscillation go into a new phase of precise determination of the
mixing angles and mass squared differences. The T2K experiment, which has already confirmed
the neutrino oscillation in the \( \nu _\mu \) \(\to\) \(\nu _e\) appearance events, provides us the new information of
the CP violating Dirac phase by combining the data of reactor experiments.
We discuss the neutrino flavor model by using non-Abelian discrete symmetry as flavor symmetry
in order to explain these experimental results.

Relation between Dirac and Majorana phases in \(S_4\) model of neutrinos
Abstract : We present two new simple lepton flavor models in the framework of the \(S_4\) flavor symmetry.
We discuss the neutrino mass matrices, which are given by two complex parameters. In our model,
because of the less parameters, we predict the only inverted mass hierarchy. The charged lepton
mass matrix has the 1-2 lepton flavor mixing, which gives the non-vanishing reactor angle \(\theta _{13}\).
These models predict the Dirac phase and the Majorana phases, which are testable in the
future experiments.

Majorana Dark Matter Search: Pure Singlet and Singlet-Doublet mixed Case
Yue-Lin Sming Tsai (IPMU)
Abstract : Majorana Dark matter (DM) model can be classified by their electroweak charge. In this talk I will
start with singlet DM effective theory (EFT) and then move to singlet-doublet mixed case.
In singlet case, we will present a global picture by taking all the operators and DM constraints into
account. However, the EFT is no longer valid with current LHC 8 TeV region. Therefore, by the help
from UV models, this problem can be fixed non-trivially. The current monojet and dijet constraint
power will be presented. Moreover, a future prospect on the future DM direct detections and e+e-
colliders (CEPC and ILC) will be also demonstrated. In the second part of talk, I will show some of
our preliminary result on singlet-doublet mixed DM model by using the similar manner. The present,
near future, and far future status of singlet-doublet mixed DM will be shown in this seminar.

Complete action of open superstring field theory
Y. Okawa (Tokyo Univ.,Komaba)
Abstract : In formulating superstring field theory, construction of an action including the Ramond sector
has not been successful for about thirty years, and this has been a major obstacle. This August
we finally succeeded in constructing a gauge-invariant action of open superstring field theory
including both the Neveu-Schwarz sector and the Ramond sector. This is the first construction
of a complete formulation of superstring field theory. In this talk, we explain the construction of
the complete action without assuming any background on string field theory. The talk is based on
the paper arXiv:1508.00366 in collaboration with Kunitomo.
