In this work, we investigate the parameter space of the Georgi-Machacek (GM) model, where we consider many theoretical and experimental constraints such as the perturbativity, vacuum stability, unitarity, electroweak precision tests, the…
Triplet extensions are attractive alternatives to the standard model (SM) of particle physics. While models with only one triplet are highly constrained by electroweak precision observables, this is not necessarily the case once several…
The Georgi-Machacek (GM) Model extends the Higgs sector of the Standard Model by introducing additional triplets, preserving custodial symmetry at tree level and allowing large triplet vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of order $\cal{O}$(10)…
The new measurement of the W boson mass from the CDF collaboration shows a significant tension with the Standard Model prediction, which evidences violation of custodial symmetry in the scalar sector. We study the scalar extensions of the…
The Georgi-Machacek (GM) model is a triplet scalar extension of the Standard Model (SM) that preserves custodial symmetry (CS) due to an explicit global $SU(2)_L\otimes SU(2)_R$ symmetry in the scalar potential at tree-level. However, it is…
The Georgi-Machacek model, introducing a complex and a real scalar triplet as additional components of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector, enables substantial triplet contributions to the weak gauge boson masses, subject to the…
We study the allowed parameter space of the scalar sector in the superweak extension of the standard model (SM). The allowed region is defined by the conditions of (i) stability of the vacuum and (ii) perturbativity up to the Planck scale,…
We study the effects of custodial symmetry violation in the Georgi-Machacek (GM) model. The GM model adds isospin-triplet scalars to the Standard Model in a way that preserves custodial symmetry at tree level; however, this custodial…
Higgs triplet models are known to have difficulties obtaining agreement with electroweak precision data and in particular constraints on the $\rho$ parameter. Either a global $SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R$ symmetry has to be imposed on the…
We study bounds on Higgs boson masses from perturbative unitarity in the Georgi-Machacek model, whose Higgs sector is composed of a scalar isospin doublet, a real and a complex isospin triplet fields. This model can be compatible with the…
We discuss the vacuum structure of a version of the Georgi-Machecek model with an exact $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry acting on the triplet fields. Besides the usual custodial-symmetric model, with $\rho=1$ at tree-level, a model with a dark…
We revisit the 95 GeV excesses in the $\gamma\gamma$ and $\tau\tau$ channels in the Georgi-Machacek model, where a single light $CP$-even custodial singlet $H$ can account for both hints. Using one-loop renormalization group-improved…
Tree-level dynamical stability of scalar field potentials in renormalizable theories can in principle be expressed in terms of positivity conditions on quartic polynomial structures. However, these conditions cannot always be cast in a…
We provide a set of theoretical constraints on models in which the Standard Model field content is extended by vector-like fermions and in some cases also by a real scalar singlet. Our approach is based on the study of electroweak vacuum…
With theoretical constraints such as perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability conditions and updated experimental data of Higgs measurements and direct searches for exotic scalars at the LHC, we perform an updated scan of the allowed…
We perform a systematic analysis of an extension of the Standard Model that includes a complex singlet scalar field and is scale invariant at the tree level. We call such a model the Minimal Scale Invariant extension of the Standard Model…
In this talk I discuss extended Higgs sectors in which the 125 GeV Higgs boson couplings to W and Z bosons can be larger than in the Standard Model. Constraints from perturbative unitarity and the electroweak rho parameter limit the number…
We study the theoretical constraints on the scalar sector of the Alternative Left-Right Model (ALRM), an $E_6$-motivated extension of the Standard Model based on the gauge group $\mathrm{SU}(3)_c \otimes \mathrm{SU}(2)_L \otimes…
We propose a classically scale-invariant extension of the Georgi--Machacek model by augmenting its custodial \(SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R\)-symmetric Higgs sector -- originally composed of a doublet and two triplets -- with a gauge-singlet…
We study how well perturbative forward modeling can constrain cosmological parameters compared to conventional analyses. We exploit the fact that in perturbation theory the field-level posterior can be computed analytically in the limit of…
