Twin Higgs (TH) models explain the absence of new colored particles responsible for natural electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). All known ultraviolet completions of TH models require some non-perturbative dynamics below the Planck scale.…
We investigate the Higgs potential beyond the Planck scale in the superstring theory, under the assumption that the supersymmetry is broken at the string scale. We identify the Higgs field as a massless state of the string, which is…
We consider a model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking built on the idea of top-seesaw mechanism. The model features a fourth generation of vector-like QCD quarks responsible for the origin of the top-seesaw mechanism and leading to…
Electroweak symmetry breaking may be naturally induced by the observed quark and gauge fields in extra dimensions without a fundamental Higgs field. We show that a composite Higgs doublet can arise as a bound state of $(t, b)_L$ and a…
We propose a framework for natural breaking of electroweak symmetry in supersymmetric models, where elementary Higgs fields are semi-perturbatively coupled to a strong superconformal sector. The Higgs VEVs break conformal symmetry in the…
General Relativity and Standard Model are considered as a theory of dynamical scale symmetry with definite initial data compatible with the accepted Higgs mechanism. In this theory the Early Universe behaves like a factory of electroweak…
We analyze models of electroweak symmetry breaking in warped 5-dimensional space with gauge bosons and fermions in the bulk. The Higgs boson is identified with the 5th component of a gauge field. We dynamically generate the Higgs potential…
We construct a calculable model of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the Higgs doublet emerges from the meta-stable SUSY breaking sector as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson. The Higgs boson mass is further protected by the little Higgs…
The discovery of the Higgs boson like particle with the mass of around 126 GeV has given us a great clue to know what is the true Higgs sector. New physics models at the TeV scale often introduce Higgs sectors extended from the minimal…
We propose a new non-thermal mechanism of dark matter production based on vacuum misalignment. A global $X$-charge asymmetry is generated at high temperatures, under which both the will-be Higgs and the dark matter are charged. At lower…
If the Higgs boson has a composite nature, it might be the 4-dimensional hologram of a gauge field living in a warped extra dimension. In this talk I discuss a minimal, calculable model that passes all electroweak precision tests, included…
The $U_L(2)\bigotimes U_R(2) $ gauge model for the unified theory of the electromagnetic and weak interactions which is free from a prior self-interaction scalar field, is developed. Due to breaking the initial symmetry the…
We argue that extra dimensions with a properly chosen compactification scheme could be a natural source for emergent gauge symmetries. Actually, some proposed vector field potential terms or polynomial vector field constraints introduced in…
We find that the local character of field theory requires the parity degree of freedom of the fields to be considered as an additional dicrete fifth dimension which is an artifact emerging due to the local description of space-time. Higgs…
In superfluids the order parameter, which describes spontaneous symmetry breaking, is an analogue of the Higgs field in the Standard Model of particle physics. Oscillations of the field amplitude are massive Higgs bosons, while oscillations…
In this paper, motivated by the recent discovery of a Higgs-like boson at the LHC with a mass m_H\simeq 126 GeV, we review different models where the hierarchy problem is solved by means of a warped extra dimension. In the Randall-Sundrum…
This discovery of the Higgs boson last year has created new possibilities for testing candidate theories for explaining physics beyond the Standard Model. Here we explain the ways in which new physics can leave its marks in the experimental…
We suggest that the Higgs might be unobservable as a free particle, due to its origin at a symmetry breaking mechanism. The standard model is kept intact, only the definition of the vacuum for the Higgs is changed. With the new (natural)…
We propose a supersymmetric extension of the standard model whose Higgs sector induces a spontaneous supersymmetry breaking by itself. Unlike the minimal extension, the current Higgs mass bound can be evaded even at the tree-level without…
With discovery of the Higgs boson, science has located the source for $\lesssim 2$% of the mass of visible matter. The focus of attention can now shift to the search for the origin of the remaining $\gtrsim 98$%. The instruments at work…
