Higgs triplet models are known to have difficulties obtaining agreement with electroweak precision data and in particular constraints on the $\rho$ parameter. Either a global $SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R$ symmetry has to be imposed on the…
This paper includes two main parts. In the first part, we present generalized gauge models based on SU(3)_C x SU(4)_L x U(1)_X (3-4-1) gauge group with arbitrary electric charge of leptons. The mixing matrix of neutral gauge bosons is…
We study the Z boson pair production at LHC in the Randall-Sundrum scenario with the Goldberger-Wise stabilization mechanism. It is shown that comprehensive account of the Kaluza-Klein graviton and radion effects is crucial to probe the…
We study second-order hyperbolic equations with degenerate elliptic operators and non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary inputs. We establish existence and regularity of weak solutions in weighted Sobolev spaces under mild assumptions on the…
A neutrinophilic Higgs model has tiny vacuum expectation value (VEV), which can naturally explain tiny masses of neutrinos. There is a large energy scale hierarchy between a VEV of the neutrinophilic Higgs doublet and that of usual standard…
A realistic SU(3)_C x SU(3)_W unified theory is constructed with a TeV sized extra dimension compactified on the orbifold S_1/Z_2, leaving only the standard model gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y unbroken in the low energy 4D theory.…
We propose a simple model of extra-dimensional radius stabilization in a supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum model. In our model, we introduce only a bulk hypermultiplet and source terms (tadpole terms) on each boundary branes. With appropriate…
We discuss the modulus stabilization by the Casimir energy and various effects of IR-brane kinetic terms for the gauge fields in a gauge-Higgs unification model in the warped spacetime, where the Wilson line phase $\theta_H$ is determined…
Whightman function, vacuum expectation values of the field square, and the energy-momentum tensor are investigated for a scalar field inside a wedge with and without a coaxial cylindrical boundary. Dirichlet boundary conditions are assumed…
We consider a gauge-Higgs system on a fuzzy 2-sphere and study the topological structure of gauge configurations, when the U(2) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to U(1) times U(1) by the vev of the Higgs field. The topology is…
We find analytical vacuum stability or bounded below conditions for general scalar potentials of a few fields. After a brief review of copositivity we go beyond it. We discuss the vacuum stability conditions of the general potential of two…
We propose a mechanism for stabilizing the size of the extra dimension in the Randall-Sundrum scenario. The potential for the modulus field that sets the size of the fifth dimension is generated by a bulk scalar with quartic interactions…
We discuss an extension of the standard model by fields not charged under standard model gauge symmetry in which the electroweak symmetry breaking is driven by the Higgs quartic coupling itself without the need for a negative mass term in…
The stability of proton and neutrino masses are discussed in the Randall-Sundrum model. We show that relevant operators should be suppressed, if the hierarchical Yukawa matrices are explained only by configurations of wavefunctions for…
We consider the Klein-Gordon equation on asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes, and show that the forward Dirichlet-to-Neumann map (or scattering matrix) is a fractional power of the boundary wave operator modulo lower order terms in the…
We estimate the probability that the discrete Gaussian free field on a planar domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions stays positive in the bulk. Improving upon the result by Bolthausen, Deuschel and Giacomin from 2001, we derive the…
The influence of higher dimensions in noncommutative field theories is considered. For this purpose, we analyze the bosonic sector of a recently proposed 6 dimensional SU(3) orbifold model for the electroweak interactions. The corresponding…
This note revisits and corrects a previous analysis on gravitational radiation in compact binary systems within the framework of Brans-Dicke-f(R) theories-models featuring both massless and effectively massive scalar fields. We correct the…
We present a 6D orbifold model on $T^2/\Z2$ which emerges as intermediate step in the compactification of the heterotic string to the supersymmetric standard model in four dimensions. It has $\SU6$ gauge symmetry in the bulk and two pairs…
In this paper, we study the manifestation of exact diffeomorphism in warped extra dimension, with an emphasis on the Randall-Sundrum model. Utilizing the covariant form of variation $\delta g_{MN} = \nabla_M \xi_N + \nabla_N \xi_M$, we…
