If electroweak symmetry breaking arises via strong dynamics, electroweak precision tests and flavour physics experiments suggest that the minimal model should closely resemble the Standard Model at the LHC. I describe two directions going…
For potentials with n-Higgs-boson doublets stability, electroweak symmetry breaking, and the stationarity equations are discussed in detail. This is done within the bilinear formalism which simplifies the investigation, in particular since…

We consider supersymmetric scenarios in which the scale of SUSY breaking is low, sqrt{F}=O(TeV). Instead of studying specific models of this type, e.g. those with extra dimensions and low fundamental scale, we follow a model-independent…

We report the results of the global electroweak fit, with emphasis on the most recent results which served as input of the fit. The output of the fit sets also limits on the Standard Model Higgs mass.
We discuss the constraints on the Higgs sector coming from the requirement of the generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry at the electroweak phase transition. These relate to both a strongly first order first transition, necessary for…
