Electroweak precision observables are calculated at complete 1-loop order in the extension of the standard model by an extra Higgs triplet, where the $\rho$-parameter can be different from unity already at the tree level. One additional…

The 1-loop renormalization group equations for the minimal Z' models encompassing a type-I seesaw mechanism are studied in the light of the 125 GeV Higgs boson discovery. This model is taken as a benchmark for the general case of singlet…
We study the stability of the Harrison-Perkins-Scott (HPS) mixing pattern, assumed to hold at some high energy scale, against supersymmetric radiative corrections. We work in the framework of a reference minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA)…
In the left-right symmetric model neutral gauge fields are characterized by three mixing angles $\theta _{12}, \theta_{23}, \theta_{13}$ between three gauge fields $B_\mu , W^3_{L\mu }, W^3_{R\mu }$, which produce mass eigenstates $A_{\mu…

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson is determined by the supersymmetric parameters. In the $m_h$MSSM the precisely measured Higgs boson replaces the trilinear coupling $A_t$ as…

The simplest unified extension of the MSSM with bi-linear R--Parity violation naturally predicts a hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum, in which one neutrino acquires mass by mixing with neutralinos, while the other two get mass…
I remark that the weak mixing angle in the standard model may be computed even in the absence of a grand unification symmetry. In particular, if there is an additional gauged $U(1)$ symmetry at some large scale which can be made…
Recent higher-order results for precision observables in the Standard Model (SM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and for the neutral CP-even Higgs-boson masses of the MSSM are summarized. Furthermore a brief discussion…
It is shown by explicit calculation that the one-loop mass renormalization of the Higgs boson in the standard model is gauge-independent. It could even be rendered finite if the following mass relationships were satisfied: $m_t^2 \simeq…
We re-examine the lower bound on the mass of the Higgs boson, $M_H$, from Standard Model vacuum stability including next-to-leading-log radiative corrections. This amounts to work with the full one-loop effective potential, $V(\phi)$,…
Contrary to common belief, the requirement that supersymmetry exists and that there are two Higgs doublets and no singlet at the electroweak energy scale does not necessarily result in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Two…
We argue that given the experimental constraints on the Higgs mass the least fine tuned parameter space of minimal supersymmetric standard model is with negative stop masses squared at the grand unification scale. While stop mass squared is…
We study the Higgs-boson mass spectrum of a classical scale-invariant realization of the two-Higgs-doublet model (SI-2HDM). The classical scale symmetry of the theory is explicitly broken by quantum loop effects due to gauge interactions,…
Reaching a theoretical accuracy in the prediction of the lightest MSSM Higgs-boson mass, M_h, at the level of the current experimental precision requires the inclusion of momentum-dependent contributions at the two-loop level. Recently two…

We analyze the minimal supersymmetric Higgs self-couplings at O(alpha_t alpha_s) within the effective potential approach. The two-loop corrections turn out to be of moderate size in the DRbar scheme if the central scale is chosen as half…
