We present the details of a deconstructed model that incorporates both Higgsless and top-color mechanisms. The model alleviates the tension between obtaining the correct top quark mass and keeping Delta rho small that exists in many…
A natural gradual extension of the idea of Grand Unification is to attempt to relate the gauge and Yukawa couplings; Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU). However, within the framework of renormalizable field theories, there exists no realistic…
After the discovery of the 125 GeV scalar boson with gauge properties similar to the Standard Model Higgs, the search for beyond the SM interactions will focus on studying the discovered particles' coupling properties more precisely and…
I discuss the calculation of the heavy generation masses in the superstring derived standard-like models. The top quark Yukawa coupling is obtained from a cubic level mass term while the bottom quark and tau lepton mass terms are obtained…
Hypotheses of the universal seesaw mechanism and the {\it universal strength for Yukawa couplings} are applied to explain one possible origin of quasi-democratic mass matrices of a special type in a left-right symmetric model with the gauge…
We construct a supersymmetric composite model in type IIA T^6/(Z_2 x Z_2) orientifold with intersecting D6-branes. Four generations of quarks and leptons are naturally emerged as composite fields at low energies. Two pairs of light…
The radiatively generated Higgs mass is obtained by requiring that leading "divergences" are cancelled in both 2D and 4D. This predicts one or more viable modes; the k=1 mode mass is m_H\cong2/3 m_t\cong115GeV whereas the k=2 mode is…
In this short note I present a simple calculation of the top quark and Higgs masses, based on the idea that in the standard model without elementary Higgs, the fact that the $U(1)_Y$ coupling becomes of the order of unity at the Landau…
A two Higgs doublet model with special Yukawa interactions for the top quark and a softly broken discrete symmetry in the Higgs potential is proposed. In this model, the top quark is much heavier than the other quarks and leptons because it…
The idea of fermion mass generation through Yukawa couplings between Higgs bosons and fermions may be tested by their associated production at future linear colliders (LC). We study the production mechanism in the minimal supersymmeric…
We propose a dynamical scenario beyond the standard model, in which the radiative correction to the Higgs mass parameter is suppressed due to a large anomalous dimension induced through a conformal invariant coupling with an extra gauge…
Numerical evidence for a new dynamical mechanism of elementary particle mass generation has been found by lattice simulation in a simple, yet highly non-trivial SU(3) gauge model where a SU(2) doublet of strongly interacting fermions is…
We explore the possibility that, while the Higgs mechanism provides masses to the weak-gauge bosons at the electroweak scale as in the standard model, fermion masses are generated by an unknown mechanism at a higher energy scale. At low…
We introduce a deconstructed model that incorporates both Higgsless and top-color mechanisms. The model alleviates the typical tension in Higgsless models between obtaining the correct top quark mass and keeping delta-rho small. It does so…
We give an explicit example of a composite Higgs model with a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Higgs in which the top Yukawa coupling is generated via the partial compositeness mechanism. This mechanism requires composite top partners which are…
We present a new model of composite Higgs based on a gauged SU(N) group with 4 Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. At low energy, the model has a global symmetry SU(4)$\times$SU(4) broken to the diagonal SU(4), containing 2…
We construct realistic theories in which the Higgs fields arise from extra dimensional components of higher dimensional gauge fields. In particular, we present a minimal 5D SU(3)_C x SU(3)_W model and a unified 5D SU(6) model. In both cases…
We construct composite Higgs models admitting a weakly coupled Seiberg dual description. We focus on the possibility that only the up-type Higgs is an elementary field, while the down-type Higgs arises as a composite hadron. The model,…
The fundamental Higgs doublet may be replaced in the Standard Model by certain non-perturbative four-quark interactions, whose effect is to induce a composite Higgs sector responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking. A simple composite…
We propose UV complete (Partially) Composite Higgs models with compositeness scale up to the Planck scale assisted by a novel mechanism. This mechanism is based on softly breaking a global $ \mathbb{Z}_2 $ symmetry by technically natural…
