I will describe several issues related to the combined constraints imposed by strong subadditivity and Lorentz covariance on the entanglement entropy in QFT. In particular I will show the emergence of the two dimensional c-theorem from properties of...

We present an alternative approach to low-energy supersymmetry. Instead of imposing R-parity we apply the minimal flavor violation (MFV) hypothesis to the R-parity violating MSSM. In this framework, squarks can be light and the proton long lived...

In 2011, the pace of the Standard Model Higgs search far exceeded expectation. All but a narrow mass window between 122-128 GeV is excluded. At this point only two search channels can provide meaningful insight into resolving this search in 2012....
