	Title	Modular Hamiltonians of excited states, OPE blocks and emergent bulk fields
	Abstract	We study the entanglement entropy and the modular Hamiltonian of slightly excited states reduced to a ball shaped region in generic conformal field theories. We set up a formal expansion in the one point functions of the state in which all orders are explicitly given in terms of integrals of multi-point functions along the vacuum modular flow, without a need for replica index analytic continuation. We show that the quadratic order contributions in this expansion can be calculated in a way expected from holography, namely via the bulk canonical energy for the entanglement entropy, and its variation for the modular Hamiltonian. The bulk fields contributing to the canonical energy are defined via the HKLL procedure. In terms of CFT variables, the contribution of each such bulk field to the modular Hamiltonian is given by the OPE block corresponding to the dual operator integrated along the vacuum modular flow. These results do not rely on assuming large N or other special properties of the CFT and therefore they are purely kinematic.

	Title	Bions and resurgence in \(CP^N\) model
	Abstract	Perturbation series in quantum field theory are generically divergent asymptotic series. Resurgence theory relates such perturbation series and non-perturbative effects which cannot be captured by the perturbative expansion. It has been shown that the so-called bion saddle points, which consist of instanton-antiinstanton pair, plays an important role in resurgence theory in a certain class of quantum systems. In this talk, I will overview the recent development of the resurgence theory based on the complexified path integral and the bion saddle points. I will talk about the bion contributions in the 2d \(CP^{N −1}\) models on \(R \times S^1\) with twisted boundary conditions and show that the semi-classical bion contributions is consistent with the expected IR-renormalon ambiguity.

	Title	Models with extra U(1) gauge symmetry and related phenomenology
	Abstract	An extra U(1) gauge symmetry is often introduced in describing a new physics around TeV scale for some issues such as stability of dark matter, controlling flavor structure and restricting interactions in neutrino mass models. Such an U(1) gauge symmetry is considered to be spontaneously broken and gives extra neutral massive gauge boson Z’. This Z’ can be either heavier or lighter than electroweak scale depending on interaction strength, and would induce rich phenomenological consequences. In this talk, I first review models with extra U(1) gauge symmetry and discuss motivation of constructing a model, experimental constraints, and phenomenology in these models. Then I will introduce some of recent works regarding extra U(1) symmetry and show their construction as well as phenomenological consequences.

	Title	Absolute transition-probability: Implications to physical phenomena
	Abstract	Transition probability is one of the most important physical quantity derived from the quantum mechanics, and is given by the fomula \(P_{\alpha\beta}=<\beta\|\alpha>^2\), for \(<\beta\|\beta>=<\alpha\|\alpha>=1\). It is not straightforward to compute the absolute probability, but a relative probability such as a rate, a cross section, and others are easier to study and have been applied successfully. Nevertheless phenomena which have origin in the absolute one can not be explained by the relative one. The absolute one is neccessary for them. In this talk, I will study the absolute transition probability, and its implications.

	Title	Exact black-hole formation with a conformally coupled scalar field in three dimensions
	Abstract	We present exact dynamical and inhomogeneous solutions in three-dimensional AdS gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field. They contain stealth configurations of the scalar field overflying the BTZ spacetime and also solutions with a non-vanishing energy-momentum tensor. The latter non-stealth class consists of the solution obtained by Xu and its analytic extension. It is shown that this proper extension represents: (i) an eternally shrinking dynamical black hole, (ii) a curious spacetime which admits an event horizon without any trapped surface, or (iii) gravitational collapse of a scalar field in an asymptotically AdS spacetime. In the last case, by attaching the solution regularly to the past massless BTZ spacetime with a vanishing scalar field, the whole spacetime represents the black-hole formation from regular initial data in an asymptotically AdS spacetime. Depending on the parameters, the formed black hole can be asymptotically static in far future.

	Title	Grand Unified Theory and its testability
	Abstract	The Grand Unified Theory (GUT) is an interesting candidate for physics beyond the Standard Model. The only direct evidence of GUT is a proton decay, which is going to be searched for at Hyper-Kamiokande with a much improved sensitivity. We first focus on so-called “dim-6 proton decay” induced by a GUT gauge boson exchange, and investigate which types of GUT models, including supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric ones, can be tested through dim-6 proton decay at Hyper-Kamiokande. Next, we turn our attention to so-called “dim-5 proton decay” induced by a colored Higgsino exchange in supersymmetric GUT. The rate for a dim-5 proton decay depends on how the Standard Model Yukawa couplings are derived in GUT, and we discuss a correlation between dim-5 proton decay and the structure of the Yukawa couplings.

	Title	Invertible field transformations with derivatives: necessary and sufficient conditions
	Abstract	We formulate explicitly the necessary and sufficient conditions for the local invertibility of a field transformation involving derivative terms. Our approach is to apply the method of characteristics of differential equations, by treating such a transformation as differential equations that give new variables in terms of original ones. The obtained results generalise the well-known and widely used inverse function theorem. Taking into account that field transformations are ubiquitous in modern physics and mathematics, our criteria for invertibility will find many useful applications.

	Title	Selecting models of first-order phase transitions using the synergy between collider and gravitational-wave experiments
	Abstract	We investigate the sensitivity of future space-based interferometers such as LISA and DECIGO to the parameters of new particle physics models which drive a first-order phase transition in the early Universe. We first perform a Fisher matrix analysis on the quantities characterizing the gravitational wave spectrum resulting from the phase transition, such as the peak frequency and amplitude. We next perform a Fisher analysis for the quantities which determine the properties of the phase transition, such as the latent heat and the time dependence of the bubble nucleation rate. Since these quantities are determined by the model parameters of the new physics, we can estimate the expected sensitivities to such parameters. We illustrate this point by taking three new physics models for example: (1) models with additional isospin singlet scalars (2) a model with an extra real Higgs singlet, and (3) a classically conformal B−L model. We find that future gravitational wave observations play complementary roles to future collider experiments in pinning down the parameters of new physics models driving a first-order phase transition.

	Title	A classification of models of neutrino masses and its application
	Abstract	Neutrino oscillation measurements have shown that neutrinos have non-zero masses, and then the standard model have to be extended with a mechanism for generating neutrino masses. Although there are many possible models of neutrino masses, it is an almost common feature of these models that some new scalar fields are introduced with their Yukawa interactions with leptons. In this talk, I will show a classification of models of neutrino masses according to combinations of new Yukawa interactions between new scalar fields and leptons. I will also show its possible application to discrimination of models of neutrino masses.

	Title	\(D^∗\) polarization vs. \(R_{D^{(∗)}}\) anomalies in the leptoquark models.
	Abstract	Polarization measurements in \(\bar{B}→D^{(∗)}τ\bar{ν}\) are useful to check consistency in new physics explanations for the \(R_D\) and \(R_{D^{∗}}\) anomalies. In this talk, we investigate the \(D^∗\) and \(τ\) polarizations and focus on the new physics contributions to the fraction of a longitudinal \(D^∗\) polarization \(F_L^{D^}\), which is recently measured by the Belle collaboration \(F_L^{D^}= 0.60 ± 0.09\), in model-independent manner and in each single leptoquark model (\({\rm R}_2\), \({\rm S}_1\) and \({\rm U}_1\)) that can naturally explain the \(R_{D^{(∗)}}\) anomalies. It is found that BR(\(B_c → τν\)) severely restricts deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction of \(F_{L,SM}^{D^} = 0.46±0.04\) in the leptoquark models: [0.44, 0.45], [0.44, 0.49], and [0.44, 0.46] are predicted as a range of \(F_L^{D^}\) for the \({\rm R}_2\), \({\rm S}_1\) and \({\rm U}_1\) leptoquark models, respectively, where the current data of \(R_{D^{(∗)}}\) is satisfied at \(1σ\) level. It is also shown that the \(τ\) polarization observables can much deviate from the SM predictions. The Belle II experiment, therefore, can check such correlations between \(R_{D^{(∗)}}\) and the polarization observables, and discriminate among the leptoquark models.

	Title	Stable Nambu monopole in two Higgs doublet models
	Abstract	Two Higgs doublet model (2HDM), in which one more Higgs doublet is added to the Standard Model(SM), is one of the most simple extensions of the SM. We show that there is a stable magnetic monopole attached by vortex strings (called as Nambu monopole) in 2HDM. In particular, the stability of the monopole is topologically protected when the Higgs potential has a U(1) symmetry and a \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) symmetry. Since this monopole has a mass of about a few TeV, it might be discovered in future monopole searches.

It is shown that these corrections are exactly cancelled thanks to a shift symmetry under the translation in extra spaces.
