The meaning of non-abelian super flavorsymmetry in the presence of Multiple Higgs Doublets is twofold: The first one is to order the Yukawa sector of the standard model, while generating the Cheng-Sher suppression of tree-level Flavor…
We present a unified picture of flavor and electroweak symmetry breaking at the TeV scale. Flavor and Higgs bosons arise as pseudo-Goldstone modes in a nonlinear sigma model. Explicit collective symmetry breaking yields stable vacuum…
We study the supersymmetric standard model with multiple Higgs doublets with gauged $\mathrm{U}(1)_X$ flavor symmetry. When the flavor symmetry is broken by the vacuum expectation value of flavon, the $\mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry $M_3$ called…
We present the general behavior of the scalar sector in a Three Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) with a $\mathbb{Z}_5$ flavor symmetry. There are regions of the parameters space where it is possible to get a SM-like Higgs boson with the other…
We propose a Three Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) that goes beyond natural flavor conservation and in which each of the three Higgs doublets couples mainly to a single generation of fermions via non-standard Yukawa structures. A hierarchy in…
We present an extensive analysis of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models with minimal and non-minimal flavour violation. We first demonstrate that low-energy, precision electroweak, and cosmological constraints exclude large…
Beyond Standard Model theories describing the electro-weak sector must exhibit a large separation of scales (or "walking") to account for a light, 125 GeV Higgs boson and the fact that so far no other resonances have been observed. Large…
Predictive Higgs-fermion couplings can be obtained when a specific texture for the fermion mass matrices is included in the general two-Higgs doublet model. We derive the form of these couplings in the charged lepton sector using a…
Composite Higgs models with anarchic partial compositeness require a scale of new physics ${\cal O}(10-100)$ TeV, with the bounds being dominated by the dipole moments and $\epsilon_K$. The presence of anarchic bilinear interactions can…
In this paper, we discuss the multi-Higgs doublet models, that could be effectively induced by the extended Standard Model (SM). In particular, we focus on the phenomenology in the supersymmetric model with left-right (LR) symmetry, where…
We analyse the lepton sector of the Left-Right Twin Higgs Model. This model offers an alternative way to solve the "little hierarchy" problem of the Standard Model. We show that one can achieve an effective see-saw to explain the origin of…
We consider two copies of the Standard Model, interchanged by an exact parity symmetry, P. The observed fermion mass hierarchy is described by suppression factors $\epsilon^{n_i}$ for charged fermion $i$, as can arise in Froggatt-Nielsen…
We use unitarity and analyticity of scattering amplitudes to constrain fermionic operators in the standard model effective field theory. For four-fermion operators at mass dimension 8, we scatter flavor superpositions in fixed standard…
The LHC has recently reported a slight excess in the $h\rightarrow \tau \mu$ channel. If this lepton flavor violating (LFV) decay is confirmed, an extension of the Standard Model (SM) will be required to explain it. In this paper we…
We study the set of models in which the Standard Model symmetry is extended with the flavour group A4 and there are three copies of the Standard Model Higgs that transform as a triplet under this group. In this setup, new channels for…
The Little Higgs model with T-parity (LHT) belongs to the non-minimal flavour violating model. This model has new sources of flavour and CP violation both in quark and leptonic sectors. These new sources of flavour violation originates by…
The triviality of the scalar sector of the standard one-doublet Higgs model implies that this model is only an effective low-energy theory valid below some cut-off scale $\Lambda$. The underlying high-energy theory must include flavor…
We discuss consequences of flavor mixings in the scalar fermion sector of supersymmetric models endowed with ultra heavy scalars. We find that, under extreme fine-tunings different than but similar in size to that needed to obtain a light…
I review briefly the notion of minimal flavor violation and its application to supersymmetry, with a special emphasis on a class of operators, so-called Higgs penguins, which can generate new and interesting flavor signals at large…
We study constraints on Composite Higgs models with fermion partial compositeness from electroweak precision measurements, including the 2022 $W$-boson mass result from the CDF collaboration. We focus on models where the Composite Higgs…
