We perform a detailed investigation of the viable baryogenesis parameter space of a non-minimal Higgs sector consisting of two Higgs doublets and a singlet pseudoscalar (2HDM$+a$). In such a model, an early Universe period of transient CP…
The two-Higgs-doublet model can be constrained by imposing Higgs-family symmetries and/or generalized CP symmetries. It is known that there are only six independent classes of such symmetry-constrained models. We study the CP properties of…
We investigated a general framework of the Standard Model with two Higgs doublets (2HDSM) with suppressed flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC's). Loop-induced FCNC (and CP-violating) effects, when confronted with experimental constraints…
The general two-higgs doublet model (2HDM) contains a rich spectrum of neutral and charged Higgs bosons, whose detection would be a clear signal of new physics. When the Higgs potential is CP-conserving, the spectrum includes a pseudoscalar…
We determine the allowed parameter space of the CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) of type II with a softly broken Z_2 symmetry. Our analysis includes theoretical constraints from vacuum stability and perturbativity as well as…
We update the constraints on two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) focusing on the parameter space relevant to explain the present muon $g$$-$$2$ anomaly, $\Delta a_{\mu}$, in four different types of models, type I, II, "lepton specific" (or X)…
The Aligned Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (A2HDM) describes a particular way of enlarging the scalar sector of the Standard Model, with a second Higgs doublet which is aligned to first the one in flavour space. This implies the absence of…
We extend the framework of analyzing the 2HDM in its orbit space to study the one-loop effective potential before and after electroweak symmetry breaking. In this framework, we present a comprehensive analysis of global symmetries of the…
The multiple point principle (MPP), according to which several vacuum states with the same energy density exist, is put forward as a fine-tuning mechanism predicting the ratio between the fundamental and weak scales in the Standard Model…
The upper and the lower bounds of the lightest CP-even Higgs-boson mass ($m_h$) are discussed in the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with a softly-broken discrete symmetry. They are obtained as a function of a cut-off scale $\Lambda$ ($\leq…
We present the calculation of the $\rm CP$ conserving contributions to $\Gamma(h \rightarrow \gamma \gamma)$, from dimension six operators at one-loop order, in the linear Standard Model Effective Field Theory. We discuss the impact of…
The one-loop contributions to the branching ratios for leptonic tau decays are calculated in the CP conserving 2HDM(II). We found that these one-loop contributions, involving both neutral and charged Higgs bosons, dominate over the…
We discuss CP-violation in a model with a real and a complex isospin triplet Higgs fields without introducing any symmetries except for the electroweak gauge symmetry. This corresponds to the minimal extension of the Higgs sector with the…
A vast literature on the theory and phenomenology of Two-Higgs-Doublet models (2HDM) exists since long. However, the present situation demands a revisit of some 2HDM properties. Now that a 125 GeV scalar resonance has been discovered at the…
The stability of the electroweak potential is a very important constraint for models of new physics. At the moment, it is standard for Two-Higgs doublet models (THDM), singlet or triplet extensions of the standard model to perform these…
We explore the phenomenology of Weinberg's $Z_2\times Z_2$ symmetric three-Higgs-doublet potential, allowing for spontaneous violation of CP due to complex vacuum expectation values. An overview of all possible ways of satisfying the…
The complex two-Higgs doublet model (C2HDM) is one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model with a source of CP-violation in the scalar sector. It has a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, softly broken by a complex coefficient. There are four…
A thorough analysis of stability and perturbativity bounds is performed in several versions of the two-Higgs doublet model, for both CP-conserving and spontaneously broken CP minima. LEP results further aid in establishing very strict…
We consider the Maximally Symmetric Two-Higgs Doublet Model (MS-2HDM) in which the so-called Standard Model (SM) alignment can be naturally realised as a consequence of an accidental SO(5) symmetry in the Higgs sector. This symmetry is…
The idea of reduction of couplings consists in the search for relations between seemingly independent couplings of a renormalizable theory that are renormalization group invariant. In this article, we demonstrate the existence of such…
