We study constraints from perturbativity and vacuum stability as well as the EWPD in the type II seesaw model. As a result, we can put stringent limits on the Higgs triplet couplings depending on the cut-off scale. The EWPD tightly…
After the discovery of a SM-like scalar state with mass of 125 GeV in 2012, the electroweak sector demands to be studied with all possible theoretical and experimental efforts. In this work we present a symmetric two Higgs doublet model…
The measurements of the Higgs boson and top quark masses can be used to extrapolate the Standard Model Higgs potential at energies up to the Planck scale. Adopting a NNLO renormalization procedure, we: i) find that electroweak vacuum…
Two compact universal extra dimensional models are an interesting class of models for different theoretical and phenomenological issues, such as the justification of having three standard model fermion families, suppression of proton decay…
We consider the most general CP-conserving renormalizable effective scalar potential involving two doublets plus one singlet Higgs and satisfying the electroweak gauge symmetry. After deriving the electroweak-symmetry breaking conditions,…
The electric and weak electric dipole form factors for heavy fermions are calculated in the context of the most general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). We find that the large top mass can produce a significant enhancement of the electric…
We take a closer look at the mass terms of all renormalizable and CP conserving two-Higgs doublet models (THDM). We show how some of the dimension two parameters in the potential can be set equal to zero leading to relations among the…
In this paper, we present the novel analytical expressions for the bounded-from-below or the vacuum stability conditions of scalar potential for a general CP violating two-Higgs-doublet model by using the concepts of co-positivity and the…
We find analytical vacuum stability or bounded below conditions for general scalar potentials of a few fields. After a brief review of copositivity we go beyond it. We discuss the vacuum stability conditions of the general potential of two…
We explore the effects of a heavy fermion doublet in a simplified version of the standard electroweak theory. We integrate out the doublet and compute the exact effective energy functional of spatially varying gauge and Higgs fields. We…
The null results in the new physics searches at the LHC do not exclude an intermediate-mass new particle if it is fermiophobic. Type-I in the two-Higgs-doublet model accommodates a fermiophobic light Higgs boson $h_{\rm f}$ if…
We explore the implications of a 126 GeV Higgs boson indicated by the recent LHC results for two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM). Identifying the 126 GeV Higgs boson as either the lighter or heavier of CP even neutral Higgs bosons in 2HDM, we…
We perform an analysis of the electroweak precision observables in the Lee-Wick Standard Model. The most stringent restrictions come from the S and T parameters that receive important tree level and one loop contributions. In general the…
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…
We discuss the connections between the recently observed Higgs-like particle and rare B decays in the context of two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs). The measured decays of the Higgs boson to fermions and gauge bosons, along with the…
We study the consistency of two Higgs doublet models in light of the new bosonic particle discovery at the LHC. We work within a general setup that we call the 2HDM-X, in which the quarks couple to both scalar doublets with aligned…
We perform a comprehensive study of a model in which the Higgs sector is extended to contain two Higgs doublet fields, with the four types of possibilities to couple to standard fermions, as well as an additional light pseudoscalar Higgs…
We show that the vacuum structure of a generic multi-Higgs-doublet model shares several important features with the vacuum structure of the two and three Higgs-doublet model. In particular, one can still define the usual charge breaking,…
We study all implementations of the $S_3$ symmetry in the two Higgs doublet model with quarks, consistent with non-zero quark masses and a Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix which is not block diagonal. We study the impact of the…
The most general $SU(2)\times U(1)_Y$-symmetric quartic potential with two Higgs doublets, subject to an only softly broken discrete symmetry $(\phi_1,\phi_2)\to(-\phi_1,\phi_2)$, is considered. At tree-level, analytic bounds on the…
