We study the minimal set of Higgs scalars, for models based on the local gauge group $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X$ which do not contain particles with exotic electric charges. We show that only two Higgs $SU(3)_L$ triplets are…

We investigate the scalar potential of a general $S_3$-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet model. The outcome of our analysis does not depend on the fermionic sector of the model. We identify a decoupling limit for the scalar spectrum of this…
The trilinear terms {\normalsize of the form $\sqrt{2} f\epsilon^{ijk} \rho_i \chi_j\phi_k$} in the scalar potential of a 3-3-1 gauge model are considered. When looking for the eigenbasis of the massive physical Higgs bosons that survive…

The simplest non-abelian gauge extension of the electroweak standard model, the $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$, known as 3-3-1 model, has a minimal version which demands the least possible fermionic content to account for the whole…
The minimal scalar sector of the 3-3-1 model is composed by the SU(3)$_L$ triplet scalars $\eta$, $\rho$, $\chi$ and its potential allows the trilinear term $\frac{f}{\sqrt{2}}\chi \eta \rho$. Since $f$ is an energy scale associated to the…
A scalar sector of the 3 3 1 model with three Higgs triplets is considered. The mass spectrum, eigenstates and interactions of the Higgs and the SM gauge bosons are derived. We show that one of the neutral scalars can be identified with the…
We will revise one of the methods given in the literature to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions that the parameters must satisfy to have a stable scalar potential in the general two-Higgs doublet model. We will give a…
We consider a 331 model, based on $\beta=-1/\sqrt{3}$, with three $SU(3)$ triplets with a softly broken $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. The resulting scalar potential is commonly used in phenomenology. We systematically determine all the potential…
We analyse the Higgs sector of an $S_3$ model with three Higgs doublets and no CP violation. After electroweak breaking there are nine physical Higgs bosons, one of which corresponds to the Standard Model one. We study the scalar and gauge…
We study the phenomenology of a hypercharge-zero SU(2) triplet scalar whose existence is motivated by two-step electroweak symmetry-breaking. We consider both the possibility that the triplets are stable and contribute to the dark matter…

In the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos, three triplets of scalars engender the correct sequence of symmetry breaking, $SU(3)_C \times SU(3)_L \times U(1)_X \rightarrow SU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \rightarrow SU(3)_C \times…
