Extra neutral gauge bosons and Higgs bosons in an effective low-energy $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_I \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_{Y^{\prime}}$ model, which is a subgroup of $E_6$, are studied. $SU(2)_I$ is a subgroup of $SU(3)_R$ and commutes with…
A partly original description of gauge fields and electroweak geometry is proposed. A discussion of the breaking of conformal symmetry and the nature of the dilaton in the proposed setting indicates that such questions cannot be definitely…
We study gauge symmetry breaking patterns in supersymmetric gauge models defined on $M^4\times S^1$. Instead of utilizing the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism, supersymmetry is broken by bare mass terms for gaugino and squarks. Though the matter…
The little Higgs idea is an alternative to supersymmetry as a solution to the gauge hierarchy problem. In this note, I review various little Higgs models and their phenomenology with emphases on the precision electroweak constraints in…
Contrary to what is sometimes stated, the current electroweak precision data easily allow for massive composite resonance states at the natural EW scale, i.e., well over the TeV. The oblique parameters S and T are analyzed by means of an…
We study the $\mu$ problem and the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking in an extended gauge mediation supersymmetry breaking (GMSB) model, in which the messenger fields are assumed to couple to the different singlet fields due to the…
We compute the full set of weak-scale gauge and Yukawa threshold corrections in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, including all finite (non-logarithmic) corrections, which we show to be important. We use our results to examine the…
I study the scalar representations of the electroweak group of the Standard Model, with a special emphasis on their chiral properties and on their behaviour by the discrete symmetries P and CP. A gauge theory for J=0 mesons naturally…
In this letter, we introduce a new approach to formulate the family structure of the standard model. Trying to mimic the highly contrained representation structure of the standard model while extending the symmetry, we propose a…
We present a model of electroweak symmetry breaking in a warped extra dimension where electroweak symmetry is broken at the UV (or Planck) scale. An underlying conformal symmetry is broken at the IR (or TeV) scale generating masses for the…
Extending the Standard Model by adding a scalar field transforming as a septet under $SU(2)_L$ preserves the $\rho$ parameter at tree level and can satisfy experimental constraints on the electroweak parameters $S$ and $T$. This work…
A new dynamical symmetry breaking of $SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)$ caused by the combination of the axial-vector component and the fermion mass is found in electroweak theory. We obtain (m^{2}_{W}={1/2}g^{2}m^{2}_{t}) and (m^{2}_{Z}=\rho…
We consider a gauge symmetry extension of the standard model given by $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_X\otimes U(1)_N\otimes Z_2$ with minimal particle content, where $X$ and $N$ are family dependent but determining the hypercharge as…
We present a critical review about the study of linear perturbations of matched spacetimes including gauge problems. We analyse the freedom introduced in the perturbed matching by the presence of background symmetries and revisit the…
We summarize our recent work on gauge theories with two flavors of fermions in the two-index symmetric representation: SU(2) gauge theory with adjoint fermions, SU(3) with sextets, and SU(4) with ten-dimensional-representation fermions. All…
A realistic SU(3)_C x SU(3)_W unified theory is constructed with a TeV sized extra dimension compactified on the orbifold S_1/Z_2, leaving only the standard model gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y unbroken in the low energy 4D theory.…
We consider a left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model where the spontaneous breakdown of the left-right symmetry is triggered by doublets. The electroweak $\rho$ parameter is protected from large corrections in this Doublet…
We discuss the possible symmetries of the effective lagrangian describing interacting pseudoscalar-, vector-, and axial-vector mesons. Specific choices of the parameters give rise to an $[SU(2)\otimes SU(2)]^3$ symmetry. This symmetry can…
We study the regularization ambiguities in an exact renormalized (1+1)-dimensional field theory. We show a relation between the regularization ambiguities and the coupling parameters of the theory as well as their role in the implementation…
We found an additional symmetry hidden in the fermion and Higgs sectors of the Standard Model. It is connected to the centers of the SU(3) and SU(2) subgroups of the gauge group. A lattice regularization of the whole Standard Model is…
