We analyze the prospect for observing the lightest and heaviest CP-even neutral Higgs bosons ($\phi=h,\;H$) in their decays to flavor violating $b\bar{s}$ (with charge conjugate) final states at the future Large Hadron electron Collider…
We study lepton flavor violating Higgs decays in two models, with the recently found hint for Higgs $\to \mu \tau$ at CMS as a benchmark value for the branching ratio. The first model uses the discrete flavor symmetry group $A_4$, broken at…
A candidate for relativistic MOND with successful cosmology was proposed recently by using a Lorentz-violating vector field in Einstein's gravity. We show that the dynamic nature of the vector field makes it challenging to realize the MOND.…
The influence of a Lorentz-violating fixed background on fermions is considered by means of a torsion-free non-minimal coupling. The non-relativistic regime is assessed and the Lorentz-violating Hamiltonian is determined. The effect of this…
Based on the weakly-coupled two-Higgs-doublet model with spontaneous CP-violation (named Lee model) and the mechanism to generate the correlation between smallness of CP-violation and lightness of scalar mass, as we proposed earlier, we…
We study a class of nonstandard interactions of the newly discovered 125 GeV Higgs-like resonance that are especially interesting probes of new physics: flavor violating Higgs couplings to leptons and quarks. These interaction can arise in…
We investigate how observations of the lepton flavor violating decay of the Higgs boson ($h \to \ell\ell^\prime$) can narrow down models of neutrino mass generation mechanisms, which were systematically studied in Refs. [1,2] by focusing on…

The recent tension between local and early measurements of the Hubble constant can be explained in a particle physics context. A mechanism is presented where this tension is alleviated due to the presence of a Majoron, arising from the…

This review considers models with extended Higgs sectors in which there are tree-level flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC) mediated by scalars. After briefly reviewing models without tree-level FCNC, several models with such currents…
If $t\rightarrow hq$ ($q=c,u$) or $h\rightarrow\tau\ell$ ($\ell=\mu,e$) decays are observed, it will be a clear signal of new physics. We investigate whether natural and viable flavor models can saturate the present direct upper bounds…
This is the first of two companion papers where we prove that the recently discovered non perturbative mechanism capable of giving mass to elementary fermions, in the presence of weak interactions can also generate a mass for the $W$, and…
In Randall-Sundrum models with gauge bosons and fermions in the extra dimensional bulk, it is possible to build models of flavor by localizing the fermions in the extra dimension. Since the Higgs must be localized at or close to the TeV…
We investigate the unique potential of a high-energy muon collider to probe lepton-flavor-violating signals arising from physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Low-energy, precision searches for charged lepton-flavor violation (LFV) are…
We discuss $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Abelian gauge field theories, as well as their extension to the Englert-Brout-Higgs mechanism for generating a mass for a vector boson. Gauge invariance is not straightforward, and we discuss the…
We propose a model for the mass matrices of quarks and leptons based on two Abelian flavor symmetries. One is assumed to be broken at a high energy region near the Planck scale. It is used for the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism in both quark…
We analyze the charged lepton flavor violating (CLFV) decays of vector mesons $V\rightarrow l_i^{\pm}l_j^{\mp}$ with $V\in\{\phi, J/\Psi, \Upsilon, \rho^0, \omega \}$ in BLMSSM model. This new model is introduced as an supersymmetric…
New sub-GeV vector bosons with couplings to muons but not electrons have been discussed in order to explain the muon's magnetic moment, the gap of high-energy neutrinos in IceCube or the proton radius puzzle. If such a light Z' not only…
