In this talk, I discuss theoretical advances in understanding the properties of the Higgs boson and the implications for models of electroweak symmetry breaking. I begin by reviewing some of the recent progress in Standard Model…
We give a brief overview on the successes and theoretical problems of the Standard Model and discuss the basics of low-scale supersymmetry. We also address some of recent proposals for physics beyond the Standard Model and the connection to…
After discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN the Standard Model acquired a status of the theory of the elementary particles in the electroweak range (up to about 300 GeV). What general conclusions can be inferred from the Standard Model? It…
The Standard Model is in good shape, apart possibly from g_\mu - 2 and some niggling doubts about the electroweak data. Something like a Higgs boson is required to provide particle masses, but theorists are actively considering…
An electroweak model in which the masses of the W and Z bosons and the fermions are generated by quantum loop graphs through a symmetry breaking is investigated. The model is based on a regularized quantum field theory in which the quantum…
In arXiv:2508.02747 a theory that unifies gravity and the Standard Model was proposed. It is finite, unitary, and accurately predicts all parameters of the Standard Model in terms of only two input parameters. Here I point out one…
The study of electron-positron collisions at LEP, together with additional measurements from other experiments, in particular those at SLC and at the Tevatron, has allowed for tests of the electroweak Standard Model with unprecedented…
The discovery of the Higgs by ATLAS and CMS at the LHC not only provided the last missing building block of the electroweak Standard Model, the mass of the Higgs has been found to have a very peculiar value about 126 GeV, which is such that…
The known fundamental symmetries and interactions are well described by the Standard Model. Features of this powerful theory, which are described but not deeper explained, are addressed in a variety of speculative models. Experimental tests…
The foundations of the mass generation mechanism of particles are reviewed. The Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) process within the standard model (SM) and the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is used to explore the present…
We render a thorough, physicist's account of the formulation of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics within the framework of noncommutative differential geometry (NCG). We work in Minkowski spacetime rather than in Euclidean space.…
We briefly review the global Standard Model fit to electroweak precision data, and discuss the status of electroweak constraints on new interactions. We follow a general effective Lagrangian approach to obtain model-independent limits on…
Most phenomenologically acceptable supersymmetric models imply breaking of supersymmetry in a separate sector of fields introduced just for this purpose. Supersymmetry breaking is transferred to the Standard Model due to a certain…
A brief review is made of some of the experimental signatures that may be associated to a certain class of extensions of the standard model. The material of these lectures is divided into two sections. After briefly sketching the present…
I discuss standard motivation for the new physics at the 1 TeV scale. Although the arguments for new exotic phenomena seem to be very supportive I argue that the Standard Model still might offer a good description far beyond this energy…
Particle physics has evolved a coherent model that characterizes forces and particles at the most elementary level. This Standard Model, built from many theoretical and experimental studies, is in excellent accord with almost all current…

The discovery of the Standard Model Higgs boson opens up a range of speculative cosmological scenarios, from the formation of structure in the early universe immediately after the big bang, to relics from the electroweak phase transition…
We summarize the status of the Standard Model with special emphasis on the extraction of the Higgs boson mass using Bayesian inference.
We present and explore the Higgs physics of a model that in addition to the Standard Model fields includes a lepton number violating singlet scalar field. Based on the fact that the only experimental data we have so far for physics beyond…
