Workshop in Honor of Toshihide Maskawa's 70th Birthday and 35th Anniversary of Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in SCGT

Strong coupling gauge theories may be among those tested in the Large Hadron Collider, which is now in operation. Physicists here explore aspects of the theories that may have to be refined and clarified before booking time on the very expensive equipment. The 60 papers examine such topics as cold compressed baryonic matter with hidden local symmetry and holography, topological and curvature effects in a multi-fermion interaction model, continuum superpartners from supersymmetric unparticles, new regularization in extra dimensional model and renormalization group flow of the cosmological constant, and critical behaviors of sigma-mode and pion in holographic superconductors.
