Inspired by recent developments of moose models we reconsider low-energy effective theories of Goldstone bosons, gauge fields and chiral fermions applied to low-energy QCD and to Higgs-less electroweak symmetry breaking. Couplings and the…
We outline our approach to understand the family structure through the idea of a SM-like chiral fermion spectrum, one that is derivable from anomaly cancellation conditions in the same way as the one family SM, under an extended symmetry,…
We present an SU(12) unification model with three light chiral families, avoiding any external flavor symmetries. The hierarchy of quark and lepton masses and mixings is explained by higher dimensional Yukawa interactions involving Higgs…
Inspired by the 750 GeV diphoton state recently reported by ATLAS and CMS, we propose a U(1)_{B-L} extension of the MSSM which predicts the existence of four spin zero resonance states that are degenerate in mass in the supersymmetric…
We consider a U(1) gauge theory, minimally coupled to a massless Dirac field, where a higher-derivative term is added to the pure gauge sector, as in the Lee-Wick models. We find that this term can trigger chiral symmetry breaking at low…
We discuss singlet extensions of the MSSM with $\Z4^R$ symmetry. We show that holomorphic zeros can avoid a potentially large coefficient of the term linear in the singlet. The emerging model has both an effective mu term and a…
A possible minimal model of the gauge-Higgs unification based on the higher dimensional spacetime M^4 X (S^1/Z_2) and the bulk gauge symmetry SU(3)_C X SU(3)_W X U(1)_X is constructed in some details. We argue that the Weinberg angle and…
This study investigates the excesses observed in the CMS diphoton and ditau data around 95 GeV within the framework of the flavor-dependent U(1)X model. The model introduces a singlet scalar to explain the nonzero neutrino masses. This…
In this article we investigate a conformal extension of the standard model in which the scalar sector consists of a standard model Higgs doublet, a real gauge singlet and a real $SU(2)_{L}$ triplet. Focusing on the scenario where the Higgs…
The Standard Model (SM) is augmented with a $\mathrm{U}(1)_{B-3L_\mu} $ gauge symmetry spontaneously broken above the TeV scale when an SM-singlet scalar condenses. Scalar leptoquarks $S_{1(3)} = (\overline{\mathbf{3}},\, \mathbf{1}…
In unified $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity scenario the gaugino masses can be non-universal. The patterns of these non-universalities are dictated by the vacuum expectation values of non-singlet chiral super-fields in visible sector. Here, we…
Gauged off-shell Maxwell-Einstein supergravity in six dimensions with N=(1,0) supersymmetry has a higher derivative extension afforded by a supersymmetrized Riemann squared term. This theory admits a supersymmetric Minkowski x S^2…
An extended chiral SU(3) model is applied to the description of dense, hot and strange hadronic matter. The degrees of freedom are the baryon octet and decuplet and the spin-0 and spin-1 meson multiplets. The parameters of the model are…
In this work we explore the possibility to fix the number of new non-sequential chiral-type generations of fermions that could be added to the standard model by combining the condition that arise from the anomalies cancellation with the…
We discuss the construction of the chiral Lagrangian for a light spin-1 boson, here denoted as $X$, featuring both vector and axial-vector couplings to light $u,d,s$ quarks. Focusing on $\Delta S = 1$ transitions, we show that there are…
In the context of the minimal SO(5) linear {\sigma}-model, a complete renormalizable Lagrangian -including gauge bosons and fermions- is considered, with the symmetry softly broken to SO(4). The scalar sector describes both the electroweak…
Two of the most widely studied extensions of the Standard Model (SM) are $a)$ the addition of a new $U(1)$ symmetry to its existing gauge groups, and $b)$ the expansion of its scalar sector to incorporate a second Higgs doublet. We show…
Motivated by new ideas about the Higgs mass naturalness problem, we present realistic TeV-scale extensions of the Standard Model, into the gauge group SU(3)_L x SU(3)_R x SU(3)_c, such that all gauge, Yukawa and quartic couplings can be…
We construct extensions of the Standard Model in which the gauge symmetries and supersymmetry prevent the dangerously large effects that may potentially be induced in a supersymmetric standard model by Planck scale physics. These include…
We propose a class of dark matter models based on a chiral $U(1)$ gauge symmetry acting on a dark sector. The chiral $U(1)$ protects the masses of the dark sector fermions, and also guarantees the stability of the dark matter particle by…
