A mechanism of radiatively induced breaking of the conformal symmetry in the Standard Model is suggested. The system of one scalar (Higgs) and one fermion (top-quark) fields with Yukawa and $\phi^4$ interactions is considered. The infrared…
We make a comprehensive analysis of an extended supersymmetric model(ESSM) obtained by adding a pair of vector-like families to the minimal supersymmetric standard model and having specific forms of 5 x 5 fermion mass matrices. The singlet…
Beyond Standard Model theories describing the electro-weak sector must exhibit a large separation of scales (or "walking") to account for a light, 125 GeV Higgs boson and the fact that so far no other resonances have been observed. Large…
This is the first of two companion papers where we prove that the recently discovered non perturbative mechanism capable of giving mass to elementary fermions, in the presence of weak interactions can also generate a mass for the $W$, and…
The spontaneous breaking of linearly realized N=1 supersymmetry implies the existence of a pseudo-Goldstone fermion, the goldstino, and of its complex scalar superpartner, the sgoldstino. The latter has generically sizable tree-level…
We study a gauge-singlet vector-like fermion hidden-sector dark matter model, in which the communication between the dark matter and the visible standard model sector is via the Higgs-portal scalar-Higgs mixing, and also via a hidden-sector…
We study the role of fermionic resonances in realistic composite Higgs models. We consider the low energy effective description of a model in which the Higgs arises as the pseudo-Goldstone boson of an SO(5)/SO(4) global symmetry breaking…
Grand gauge-Higgs unification of five dimensional SU(6) gauge theory on an orbifold $S^1 / Z_2$ with localized gauge kinetic terms is discussed. The Standard model (SM) fermions on the boundaries and some massive bulk fermions coupling to…
The Lee-Wick (LW) Standard Model (SM) offers a new solution to the hierarchy problem. We discuss, using effective potential techniques, its peculiar ultraviolet (UV) behaviour. We show how quadratic divergences in the Higgs mass Mh cancel…
Composite Higgs models provide an attractive solution to the hierarchy problem. However, many realistic models suffer from tuning problems in the Higgs potential. There are often large contributions from the UV dynamics of the composite…
We study the possibility of obtaining the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics as an effective theory of a more fundamental one, whose electroweak sector includes two non-universal local $U(1)$ gauge groups, with the chiral anomaly…
We investigate the UV fixed-point structure of the three-dimensional Thirring model by means of the functional renormalization group (RG). We classify all possible 4-fermi interactions compatible with the present chiral and discrete…
The Higgs-Top model is studied by a non-perturbative variational extension of the Gaussian Effective Potential that incorporates fermions. In the limit of a very strong Yukawa coupling the one-loop result is shown to follow a…
Four-fermi models in dimensionality $2<d<4$ exhibit an ultra-violet stable renormalization group fixed point at a strong value of the coupling constant where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken. The resulting field theory describes…
We analyze focus points in supersymmetric theories, where a parameter's renormalization group trajectories meet for a family of ultraviolet boundary conditions. We show that in a class of models including minimal supergravity, the up-type…
We investigate fermionic dark matter interactions with standard model particles from an additional $\mathrm{U}(1)_\mathrm{X}$ gauge symmetry, assuming kinetic mixing between the $\mathrm{U}(1)_\mathrm{X}$ and $\mathrm{U}(1)_\mathrm{Y}$…
We report on our work on the SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R symmetric Higgs Yukawa Model with mirror fermion action. Our model describes a fermion Higgs system in the limit of vanishing gauge coupling. Setting the bare Yukawa coupling of the mirror…
As the Higgs boson properties settle, the constraints on the Standard Model extensions tighten. We consider all possible new fermions that can couple to the Higgs, inspecting sets of up to four chiral multiplets. We confront them with…
We reconsider the gauge hierarchy problem from the viewpoint of effective field theories and a high-energy physics, motivated by the alternative scenario that the standard model holds up to a high-energy scale such as the Planck scale. The…
We study renormalization on the fuzzy sphere, which is a typical example of non-commutative spaces. We numerically simulate a scalar field theory on the fuzzy sphere, which is described by a Hermitian matrix model. We define correlation…
