We explore the phenomenological consequences of a model with an extended scalar sector, incorporating strongly coupled inert Higgs doublets. The model introduces three Higgs doublets: one that interacts with the $SU(2)$ symmetry of the…
We catalogue and study three-Higgs-doublet models in terms of all possible allowed symmetries (continuous and discrete, Abelian and non-Abelian), where such symmetries may be identified as flavour symmetries of quarks and leptons. We…
We construct the general two-Higgs doublet model effective field theory where the effects of additional new physics are parameterized by operators up to mass dimension-six. We further transform this effective theory to the Higgs basis and…
We consider the general Three-Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) and identify all limits that lead to exact SM alignment. After discussing the underlying symmetries that can naturally enforce such an alignment, we focus on the most economic…
In this paper various constraints for the parameter spaces of two variants of the Two Higgs Doublet Model with a Z_2-symmetric potential are reconsidered, including the LHC data on existence of a 125 GeV Higgs-like boson. We analyze the…
I present a model with two scalar doublets and a softly broken $\ztwo$ symmetry, where only one of the doublets gets a vacuum expectation value and couples to fermions at tree-level. The softly broken $\ztwo$ symmetry leads to interesting…
The two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM), as one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model (SM), is obtained by adding another scalar doublet to the SM, and is featured by a pair of charged scalars, which could affect many low-energy…
We investigate the general two Higgs doublet model imposing both the unitarity conditions and the bounded-from-below conditions. Both types of conditions restrict the ranges of the parameters of the scalar potential. We study the model in…
We study a three Higgs doublet model where one doublet is inert and the other two doublets are active. Flavor changing neutral currents are avoided at tree-level by imposing a softly broken $Z'_2$ symmetry and we consider type I and type II…
We study the Higgs mass spectrum as predicted by a Maximally Symmetric Two Higgs Doublet Model (MS-2HDM) potential based on the SO(5) group, softly broken by bilinear Higgs mass terms. We show that the lightest Higgs sector resulting from…
Constraints on the two Higgs doublet model are presented, assuming a top mass of 174 $\pm$ 17 GeV. We concentrate primarily on the ``type II'' model, where up--type quarks receive their mass from one Higgs doublet, and down--type quarks…
In this paper we propose a possible explanation to the Fermion mass hierarchy problem by fitting the type-II seesaw mechanism into the Higgs doublet sector, such that their vacuum expectation values are hierarchal. We extend the Standard…
An extended spin-space model in $7+1$ dimensions is presented that describes the standard-model electroweak quark sector. Up to four generations of massless and massive quarks and two-Higgs doublets derive from the associated representation…
We report the recent progress in understanding of symmetries which can be implemented in the scalar sector of electroweak symmetry breaking models with several Higgs doublets. In particular we present the list of finite reparametrization…
In the case of minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), when the pseudoscalar Higgs boson mass is less than the supersymmetry energy scale, the effective theory at the electroweak scale is a two-Higgs-doublet model. We…
In the simplest examples of models with a discrete quark-lepton symmetry, an electroweak symmetry breaking sector with more than one Higgs doublet is necessary to obtain the correct mass relations between quarks and leptons. A two Higgs…
We apply the unitarity bounds and the bounded-from-below (BFB) bounds to the most general scalar potential of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). We do this in the Higgs basis, i.e. in the basis for the scalar doublets where only one…
I present a new model for the quark mass matrices, which uses four scalar doublets together with a horizontal symmetry S3 x Z3. The model is inspired on a suggestion made a few years ago by Ma, but it is different. The predictions |Vts|…
The Two Higgs Doublets Model (2HDM) has provided a very useful way to describe a minimal extension of the scalar sector of the Standard Model. In this work, it is shown a scheme that we call Partial Aligned Two Higgs Doublet Model (PA-2HDM)…
To study a flavour model with a non-minimal Higgs sector one must first define the symmetries of the fields; then identify what types of vacua exist and how they may break the symmetries; and finally determine whether the remnant symmetries…
