If QCD is renormalized by minimal subtraction (MS), at higher orders, the strong coupling constant alpha_s and the quark masses m_q exhibit discontinuities at the flavour thresholds, which are controlled by so-called decoupling constants,…
We discuss a new method to determine the low-energy couplings of the $\Delta S=1$ weak Hamiltonian in the $\epsilon$-regime. It relies on a matching of the topological poles in $1/m^2$ of three-point functions of two pseudoscalar densities…

The two-loop O(g^4 mt^2/mw^2) corrections are incorporated in the theoretical calculation of MW, sin^2 theta_MSbar(MZ), and sin^2 theta_eff, as functions of MH. The analysis is carried out in a previously proposed MSbar formulation and two…
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…
Some recent developments in the calculation of weak matrix elements on the lattice are reviewed. In particular, we concentrate on the application of MPSTV non-perturbative renormalization method to the operators relevant to kaon physics.…
The assumption that the Weinberg rotation between the gauge fields associated with the third component of the ``weak isospin" ($T_3$) and the hypercharge ($Y$) proceeds in a natural way from a global homomorphism of the $SU(2)\otimes U(1)$…
The impact of atomic parity violation experiments on determination of the weak mixing parameter $\sin^2 \theta$ and the Peskin-Takeuchi parameters $S$ and $T$ is reassessed in the light of recent electroweak measurements at LEP, SLAC, and…
The discrete symmetry D_12 at the electroweak scale is used to fix the quark and lepton mixing angles. At the leading order, the Cabbibo angle theta_C is 15^o, and the PMNS matrix is of a bi-dodeca-mixing form giving the Solar-neutrino…
We calculate ~$\sin^2\theta(M_Z)$ ~in the MSSM in terms of ~ $\alpha_{EM}$, ~$G_F$, ~$m_t$, ~$\tan\beta$ ~and SUSY mass parameters with the same accuracy as the present calculations of ~$\sin^2\theta(M_Z)$ ~in the SM. We compare the results…
The regions in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with the minimal amount of fine-tuning of electroweak symmetry breaking are presented for general messenger scale. No a priori relations among the soft supersymmetry breaking…
We present an analytical calculation of the leading three-loop radiative correction to the S-parameter in the Standard Model in the large Higgs mass limit. Numerically, S^(3) = 1.1105*g^4/(1024 pi^3)*m_H^4/M_W^4. When combined with the…
The study of a EW theory without spontaneous symmetry breaking is presented. A new symmetry breaking, axial-vector symmetry breaking, is found. M^{2}_{W}=1/2g^{2}m^{2}_{t}, m^{2}_{Z}=\rho m^{2}_{W}/cos^{2} \theta, and…
The complete two-loop electroweak fermionic corrections to the effective leptonic weak mixing angle, sin^2(theta_eff), are now available. Here we shortly present the methods applied and illustrate the implications on indirect prediction for…
In this work we consider the extension of the standard model by dark fields with an Abelian $U(1)_{d}$ spontaneously broken gauge symmetry in a hidden dark matter scenario. Considering all the dimension four gauge invariant terms we show…
The stability of the electroweak scale, challenged by the absence of deviations in flavor physics, prompts the consideration of SMEFT scenarios governed by approximate SM flavor symmetries. This study examines microscopic theories that…
From a distance, the proton's weak charge is seen through the distorting effects of clouds of virtual particles. The effective weak charge can be calculated by starting with the measured weak coupling at the Z-pole and "running" the…
The four-loop QCD corrections to the electroweak $\rho$-parameter arising from top and bottom quark loops are computed. Specifically we evaluate the missing ``non-singlet'' piece. Using algebraic methods the amplitude is reduced to a set of…
For computing thermodynamics of the electroweak phase transition, we discuss a minimal approach that reconciles both gauge invariance and thermal resummation. Such a minimal setup consists of a two-loop dimensional reduction to…
