In the present paper, that is the second part devoted to the construction of an electroweak model based on a nonlinear realization of the gauge group SU(2) X U(1), we study the tree-level vertex functional with all the sources necessary for…
We study a number of different ingredients related to the $\theta$ dependence, metastable excited vacuum states and other related subjects using a simplified version of QCD, the so-called "deformed QCD". This model is a weakly coupled gauge…
We make a change of variable in the standard model Higgs field by a fermion operator and show that the latter is responsible for the electroweak vacuum. By computing the vacuum expectation value of this fermion operator in the path integral…
We discuss renormalisation group improvement of the effective potential both in general and in the context of $O(N)$ scalar $\p^4$ and the Standard Model. In the latter case we find that absolute stability of the electroweak vacuum implies…
We analyze the theoretical and phenomenological considerations for the electroweak phase transition and dark matter in an extension of the Standard Model with a complex scalar singlet (cxSM). In contrast with earlier studies, we use a…
Electroweak radiative corrections to the cross section of the process $e^+ e^- \to Z H$ are considered. The complete one-loop electroweak radiative corrections are evaluated with the help of the SANC system. Higher-order contributions of…
We compute the electroweak S and T parameters induced by SU(2)_L triplet scalars up to one-loop order. We consider the most general renormalizable potential for a triplet and the Standard Model Higgs doublet. Our calculation is performed by…
The mathematical structure of the temporal gauge of QED is critically examined in both the alternative formulations characterized by either positivity or regularity of the Weyl algebra. The conflict between time translation invariance and…
I present a simple numerical model based on iteratively updating subgroups of a population, individually modeled by nonnegative real numbers, by a constant decay factor; however, at each iteration, one group is selected to instead be…
The naive implementation of finite width effects in processes involving unstable particles can violate gauge invariance. For the example of radiative $W$ production and decay, $q\bar q' \to \ell\nu\gamma$, at tree level, it is demonstrated…
In this paper, we study the degeneracies among several cosmological parameters in detail and discuss their impacts on the determinations of these parameters from the current and future observations. By combining the latest data sets,…
The continuum Dirac model with an unbounded energy spectrum is widely used to describe low-energy states in various electron systems, such as graphene, topological insulators, and Weyl semimetals. However, if it is applied to analyze the…
We assume a generic real singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model living in the vacuum $(v,w)$ at the electroweak scale with $v=246$ GeV and $w$ being respectively the Higgs and the singlet scalar vacuum expectation values. By…
We perform a comprehensive study of the Higgs couplings, gauge-boson couplings to fermions and triple gauge boson vertices. We work in the framework of effective theories including the effects of the dimension-six operators contributing to…
We briefly review a recently proposed scheme for a gauge-invariant treatment of tadpole corrections in spontaneously broken gauge theories called Gauge-Invariant Vacuum expectation value Scheme (GIVS). The tadpole scheme matters in…
In this paper we construct a version of the standard model gauge sector on noncommutative space-time which is one-loop renormalizable to first order in the expansion in the noncommutativity parameter $\theta$.
We use modern dimensionally-reduced effective field theory methods, with careful attention to scale hierarchies, to analyze and catalog the types of first-order electroweak phase transitions that are possible in the Standard Model Effective…

We investigate if the topology of pure gauge fields in the electroweak vacuum can play a role in classical dynamics at the electroweak phase transition. Our numerical analysis shows that magnetic fields are produced if the initial vacuum…
We sketch the construction of a gauge invariant Exact Renormalization Group (ERG). Starting from Polchinski's equation, the emphasis is on how a series of ideas have combined to yield the gauge invariant formalism. A novel symmetry of the…
