Electroweak precision tests, expressed through the oblique parameters $S$, $T$, and $U$, impose stringent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. Gauge extensions of the Standard Model based on the $SU(3)_L \times U(1)_N$ symmetry…

We extend the so-called singlet doublet dark matter model, where the dark matter is an admixture of a Standard Model singlet and a pair of electroweak doublet fermions, by a singlet scalar field. The new portal coupling of it with the dark…
We consider a model for the electroweak interactions based on the assumption that physical particles are singlets under the gauge group SU(2). The concept of complementarity explains why the standard model works with such an extraordinary…
We study theoretical constraints on a model whose scalar sector contains one color octet and one or two color singlet $SU(2)_L$ doublets. Using the unitarity of the theory, we constrain the parameters of the scalar potential for the first…
By representing the electroweak gauge symmetry group $SU(2) \times U(1)$ by a hypertorus $S_2 \times S_1$, the electroweak mixing angle and the fine structure constant are predicted. By representing neutrinos as oscillating spheroid…

We reemphasize the importance of discriminating fermion-loop and bosonic electroweak corrections in the analysis of electroweak precision data. Most recent data are indeed precise enough to require corrections beyond (trivial) fermion…
Precision experiments, such as those performed at LEP and SLC, offer us an excellent opportunity to constrain extended gauge model parameters. To this end, it is often assumed, that in order to obtain more reliable estimates, one should…

Electroweak interactions based on a gauge group $\rm SU(3)_L \times U(1)_X$, coupled to the QCD gauge group $\rm SU(3)_c$, can predict the number of generations to be multiples of three. We first try to unify these models within SU(N)…

We present a global $\chi^2$ analysis of electroweak data, including fermion masses and mixing angles, in SO(10) SUSY GUTs. Just as precision electroweak data is used to test the Standard Model, the well determined Standard Model parameters…
We consider singlet extensions of the standard model, both in the fermion and the scalar sector, to account for the generation of neutrino mass at the TeV scale and the existence of dark matter respectively. For the neutrino sector we…
Chiral representations are the key in obtaining light fermions from some ultra-violet completed theories. The well-known chiral example is one family set of fifteen chiral fields in the standard model. We find a new chiral theory…
