Processes where $W$ and $Z$ bosons scatter into pairs of electroweak bosons $W$, $Z$, and Higgs, are sensitive probes of new physics in the electroweak sector. We study simplified models that describe typical scenarios of new physics and…
We show that the effective theory of a supersymmetric model can violate SUSY at the level of dimension six operators and higher. This phenomenon occurs in gauge theories which involve heavy vector-superfields and different mass scales. It…

We consider the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized gauge bosons in an SU(2) generalization of topologically massive gauge theory in four dimensions. We show that the amplitude remains finite at large $s$, even though the theory…
Wilson coefficients in dimension-six effective field theory are constrained in a combined fit to several ATLAS measurements. These inputs probe Higgs-boson processes across multiple production and decay modes, di-Higgs signatures in the…

There are two Z-peak observables related to the pair production of bottom quarks that show a deviation of about 2.5\sigma\ each from Standard Model expectations. While the discrepancy in the forward-backward asymmetry is a long-standing…
We study the perturbative unitarity bound given by higher dimensional bosonic operators up to dim-6 for the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). They lead to new physics beyond the Standard Model. We point out that such operators can lead to a…
Effective field theories are an incredibly powerful tool in order to study and understand the true nature of the symmetry breaking sector dynamics of the Standard Model. However, they can suffer from some theoretical problems such as that…
We derive four-dimensional (4D) effective theories of the gauge-Higgs unification models in the warped spacetime. The effective action can be expressed in a simple form by neglecting subleading corrections to the wave functions. We have…
Using dispersion relations of the scattering amplitudes and semi-definite programming, we calculate causality bounds on the Wilson coefficients in scalar-tensor effective field theories that include parity-violating operators. Particular…
Without any mechanism to protect its mass, the self-energy of the Higgs boson diverges quadratically, leading to the hierarchy or fine-tuning problem. One bottom-up solution is to postulate some yet-to-be-discovered symmetry which forces…
We obtain the partial-wave unitarity constraints on the lowest-dimension effective operators which generate anomalous quartic gauge couplings but leave the triple gauge couplings unaffected. We consider operator expansions with linear and…

Perturbative unitarity for $\wlwl$ scattering is discussed within the Randall-Sundrum model. It is shown that the exchange of massive 4D Kaluza-Klein gravitons leads to amplitudes growing linearly with the CM energy squared. Summing over KK…

We construct the general two-Higgs doublet model effective field theory where the effects of additional new physics are parameterized by operators up to mass dimension-six. We further transform this effective theory to the Higgs basis and…
We derive bounds on couplings in the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) as a consequence of causality and the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes. In the SMEFT, there are 64 independent operators at mass dimension eight…
