We consider two Higgs doublet models with a softly broken U(1) symmetry, for various limiting values of the scalar mixing angles $\alpha$ and $\beta$. These correspond to the Standard Model Higgs particle being the lighter CP-even scalar…
In certain five dimensional gauge theories compactified on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ the Standard Model Higgs doublet is identified with the zero mode of the fifth component of the gauge field. This gauge-Higgs unification scenario is realized…
Suppressing naturalness concerns, we discuss the compatibility requirements of high-scale supersymmetry breaking with the Higgs boson mass constraint and gauge coupling unification. We find that to accommodate superpartner masses…
In this work, the phase structure of a holographic s+d model with quartic potential terms from the 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is studied in the probe limit. We first show the $q_d-\mu$ phase diagram with a very small value of the…
Upper bounds for the violation of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) by the Fundamental Interactions have been given before. We now recompute the limits on the parameters measuring the strength of the violation with the whole set of high…
We examine the sensitivity of $e \gamma$ colliders (based on $e^+ e^-$ linear colliders of c.m. energy 500 GeV) to the anomalous couplings of the Higgs to W-bosons via the process $e^- \gamma \longrightarrow \nu W H$. This has the advantage…
A conservative constraint on the Einstein Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) can be obtained under the assumption that the observed time delay between correlated particles from astronomical sources is dominated by the gravitational fields…

We study the relation between the causality and the positivity of energy bounds in Gauss-Bonnet gravity in AdS_7 background and find a precise agreement. Requiring the group velocity of metastable states to be bounded by the speed of light…
If there is new physics associated with the top quark, it could show up as anomalous couplings of the top quark to weak gauge bosons, such as $Z\ttbar$ and $W\tbbar$ vector and axial-vector couplings. We use the processes $\ttbar\to…
The gauge couplings $WWZ$, $WWWW$, and $WWZZ$ in the gauge-Higgs unification scenario in the Randall-Sundrum warped spacetime remain almost universal as in the standard model, but substantial deviation results for the Higgs couplings. In…
We perform a global analysis of the constraints on a possible Higgs-like particle with mass ~ 125 GeV that are provided by the ATLAS, CDF, CMS and D0 experiments. We combine the available constraints on possible deviations from the Standard…
The initial data on the production and decay of the Higgs boson reported significant deviations from the Standard Model (SM) expectations, prompting much speculation about its couplings to the other particles. Although the latest data has…
We study scattering of the electroweak gauge bosons in 5D warped models. Within two different models we determine the precise manner in which the Higgs boson and the vector resonances ensure the unitarity of longitudinal vector boson…
We study the gauge symmetry factorizability by boundary conditions on intervals of any dimensions. With Dirichlet-Neumann BCs, the Kaluza-Klein decomposition in five-dimension for arbitrary gauge group can always be factorized into that for…

Observation of top quark flavor changing neutral process $t\to c +\gamma$ at the LHC would be the signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. If anomalous $t\to c\gamma$ coupling exists, it will affect the precisely measured…
The search for extra dimensions has so far yielded no positive results at the LHC. Along with the discovery of a 125 GeV Higgs boson, this implies a moderate degree of fine tuning in the parameter space of the Randall-Sundrum model. Within…
A study of the anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson to vector bosons, including $CP$-violation effects, has been conducted using its production and decay in the WW channel. This analysis is performed on proton-proton collision data…
