Left-right symmetric models are analyzed in the context of noncommutative geometry where we show that spontaneous parity violation is ruled out.
The origin of parity violation in physics is still unknown. At the present time, it is introduced in the theory by requiring that the SU(2) subgroup entering the description of interactions involves the left components. In the present…
Unified models incorporating the right handed neutrino in a symmetric way generically possess parity symmetry. If this is broken spontaneously it results in the formation of domain walls in the early Universe, whose persistence is unwanted.…
We report the recent progress in understanding of symmetries which can be implemented in the scalar sector of electroweak symmetry breaking models with several Higgs doublets. In particular we present the list of finite reparametrization…
We show that it is possible to obtain spontaneous CP violation in the minimal $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$, i.e. in a left right symmetric model containing a bidoublet and two triplets in the scalar sector. For this to be a…
It has recently shown that in supersymmetric left-right models with automatic R-parity conservation, the theory below the $W_R$ scale is given by MSSM with massive neutrinos and a pair of doubly charged superfields with masses in the 100…
The Nucleon- and the Lambda-excitation spectrum exhibit parity doublets, i.e. states of the same spin but with opposite parity being almost degenerate in mass. It is shown that in a relativistic quark model with instantaneous interaction…
Scalar sectors with several Higgs doublets, a CP invariant potential, and a CP violating vacuum, possess a mass spectrum in which, unexpectedly, new scalars cannot have masses much larger than the electroweak scale once perturbativity…
Type-Z models, where charged leptons, up type quarks, and down type quarks each couple to a different scalar, are only possible when there are three or more Higgs doublets. We consider the Type-Z three Higgs doublet model imposed by a…
In the popular littlest Higgs model, T-parity can be broken by Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) terms induced by a strongly coupled UV completion. On the other hand, certain models with multiple scalar multiplets (called moose models) permit the…
The trinification model is an interesting extension of the Standard Model based on the gauge group $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$. It naturally explains parity violation as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking, and the observed…
We argue that Left-Right parity symmetry $\mathcal{P}$ can arise as a discrete remnant of a unified gauge symmetry. The high-energy unification necessarily includes the gauging of the Lorentz symmetry, bringing into the game gravitational…
A right-right-left extension of the standard model is proposed. In this model, the standard model gauge group $SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y $ is extended to $SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R \otimes SU(2)^{\prime}_R \otimes SU(2)^{\prime}_L \otimes…
Little Higgs theories often rely on an internal parity ("T-parity'') to suppress non-standard electroweak effects or to provide a dark matter candidate. We show that such a symmetry is generally broken by anomalies, as described by the…
We review supersymmetry models with and without R-parity. After briefly describing the Minimal Supersymetric Standard Model and its particle content we move to models where R-parity is broken, either spontaneously or explicitly. In this…
R-parity violation modifies the phenomenology of supersymmetric models considerably. We study a version of NMSSM, which contains right-handed neutrinos and in which spontaneous R-parity violation is possible. We study the ensuing effects of…
We present a comprehensive analysis of the Higgs boson spectra in several versions of the supersymmetric left--right model based on the gauge symmetry $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$. A variety of symmetry breaking…
An SU(2) lattice gauge theory with two doublets of complex scalar fields is considered. All continuous symmetries are identified and, using the nonperturbative methods of lattice field theory, the phase diagram is mapped out by direct…
We investigate the parity- and time-reversal ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetry breaking in lattice models in the presence of long-ranged, non-hermitian, $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potentials that remain finite or become divergent in the continuum…
We investigate the question of parity breaking in three-dimensional Euclidean SU(2) gauge-Higgs theory by Monte Carlo simulations. We observe no sign of spontaneous parity breaking in the behaviour of both local and non-local gauge…
