Discrete and continuous symmetries in multi-Higgs-doublet models

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-04-15 v2

Abstract

We consider the Higgs sector of multi-Higgs-doublet models in the presence of simple symmetries relating the various fields. We construct basis invariant observables which may in principle be used to detect these symmetries for any number of doublets. A categorization of the symmetries into classes is required, which we perform in detail for the case of two and three Higgs doublets.
