We examine the quantum corrections to the static energy for Higgs winding configurations in order to ascertain whether such corrections may stabilize solitons in the standard model. We evaluate the effective action for winding…
In the two-Higgs-doublet model, different Higgs doublets can be viewed as components of a generic "hyperspinor". We decompose the Higgs potential of this model into irreducible representations of the SU(2) group of transformations of this…
The 3d SU(2)-Higgs model is used to find the critical Higgs mass above which the first order phase transition ends. One method is focused on the disappearance of the two-state signal of the scalar condensate (vanishing of the latent heat).…
We consider the effective two-Higgs-doublet potential with complex parameters, when the CP invariance is broken both explicitly and spontaneously. Diagonal mass term in the local minimum of the potential is constructed for the physical…

The static potentials for quark-antiquark-gluon and 3-gluon systems are computed with lattice QCD methods. For the quark-antiquark-gluon hybrid meson the static potential is obtained for different values of the angle between the quark-gluon…
We construct an extension of the recently proposed dynamical model for the breaking of SU(5)$_{\rm GUT}$ gauge symmetry, in which a pair of massless chiral supermultiplets for Higgs doublets are naturally obtained. We point out that a model…
The roughly linear rise of the potential found between adjoint sources in SU(N) in lattice simulations is expected to saturate into a state of two `gluelumps' due to gluonic screening. We examine this in SU(2) in 2+1 dimensions. Crossover…
We study exotic static 3-body potentials, utilizing generalized Wilson Loops in SU(3) lattice QCD. For the quark-antiquark-gluon techniques we address the angles of 0, 45, 60, 90, 120, 135 and 180 degrees, between the quark-gluon and the…
