In this talk I discuss the effects of physics beyond the standard model on the process $Z \to b\bar{b}$. I argue that, because the top-quark is heavy, this process is susceptible to large corrections from new physics.
I summarize recent developments in electroweak precision physics and global fits. Expectations for future measurements, both at lower energies and the energy frontier, are also discussed.
We briefly discuss five topics in Precision Electroweak Physics: i) the recently proposed Effective Scheme of Renormalization, ii) evidence for electroweak bosonic corrections derived from the radiative correction Delta_r_eff, iii) an…

We go beyond the Standard Model guided by presymmetry, the discrete electroweak quark-lepton symmetry hidden by topological effects which explain quark fractional charges as in condensed matter physics. We show that partners of the…
