We explore electroweak precision observables (EWPO) and $B$-physics observables (BPO) in the CMSSM, the mGMSB and the mAMSB. We perform a chi^2 analysis based on the combination of current EWPO and BPO data. For the first time this allows…
The noncommutative baby Skyrme model is a Moyal deformation of the two-dimensional sigma model plus a Skyrme term, with a group-valued or Grassmannian target. Exact abelian solitonic solutions have been identified analytically in this…
We review the constraints on Higgs boson properties from effective potential methods. In the Standard Model, the requirement of stability (or metastability) of the standard electroweak minimum puts an upper bound on the scale of new physics…
The minimal supersymmetric standard model, and extensions, have stringent upper bounds on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson if perturbativity up to the Planck scale is assumed. We argue that these bounds are softened tremendously if the…
An upperbound on the mass of the lightest neutral scalar Higgs boson is calculated in an extended version of the minimal supersymmetric standard model that contains an additional Higgs singlet. We integrate the renormalization group…
We present finite energy analytic monopole and dyon solutions whose size is fixed by the electroweak scale. The new solutions are obtained by regularizing the recent Cho-Maison solutions of the Weinberg-Salam model. Our result shows that…
We investigate the existence of BPS structures in a Maxwell-Higgs electrodynamics immersed within a chiral medium, whose electromagnetic properties are described by both the Chern-Simons term and a neutral scalar field. The implementation…
The $W$ boson mass is one of the most important electroweak precision observables for testing the Standard Model or its extensions. The very recent measured $W$ boson mass at CDF shows about $7\sigma$ deviations from the SM prediction,…
The search for magnetic monopoles has been a longstanding concern of the physics community for nearly a century. However, up to now, the existence of elementary magnetic monopoles remains an open question. The electroweak 't Hooft-Polyakov…
Simple representation for the average value of the W-boson one-loop polarization tensor in a magnetic field B=const, calculated in the ground state of the tree-level spectrum, is derived. It corresponds to Demeur's formula for electron in…
We show that, in some limit, gravitational instantons correspond to exotic smooth geometry on R^4. The geometry of this exotic R^4 represents magnetic monopoles of Polyakov-'t Hooft type and the BPS condition allows for the generation of…
Recently, there has been renewed interest in the search for low-mass magnetic monopoles. At the University of Oklahoma we are performing an experiment (Fermilab E882) using material from the old D0 and CDF detectors to set limits on the…
It has been argued, that in noncommutative field theories sizes of physical objects cannot be taken smaller than an elementary length related to noncommutativity parameters. By gauge-covariantly extending field equations of noncommutative…
In this thesis we study dynamic of magnetic monopoles from Lagrangian density in Yang-Mills-Higgs field theory. In particular, we discuss BPS (Bogomolny Prasad Sommerfield) magnetic monopoles, described by SU(N) Bogomolny equations, which…
A review of the Higgs and neutralino sectors of supersymmetric models is presented. This includes the upper limit on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, as well as models based on the Standard…
By imposing validity of the perturbation and stability of vacuum up to an energy scale $\Lambda$ ($\leq 10^{19}$ GeV), we evaluate mass bounds of the lightest CP-even Higgs-boson mass ($m_h$) in the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with a…
The presently most accurate prediction for the W-boson mass in the Standard Model is obtained by combining the complete two-loop result with the known higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections. The numerical impact of the different…
We analyze consequences of the approximation \mu_\pi^2 -\mu_G^2 << \mu_\pi^2 (a `BPS' limit) for B and D mesons. It is shown that neglecting perturbative effects many power corrections would vanish to all orders in 1/m_Q, in particular…
For three conspicuous gauge groups, namely, SU(2), SU(3) and SO(5), and at first order in the noncommutative parameter matrix h\theta^{\mu\nu}, we construct smooth monopole --and, some two-monopole-- fields that solve the noncommutative…
A model for composite electroweak bosons is re-examined to establish approximate ranges for the initial predictions of the top and Higgs masses. Higher order corrections to this $4$-fermion theory at a high mass scale where the theory is…
