In order to investigate the Higgs mechanism nonperturbatively, we compute the Gaussian effective potential (GEP) of the U(1) Higgs model ("scalar electrodynamics"). We show that the same simple result is obtained in three different…

I present a method for accurately calculating the pole mass of the lightest Higgs scalar boson in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, using a mass-independent renormalization scheme. The Higgs scalar self-energies are…
Recent calculations in one-loop and Gaussian appro- ximation, using the so-called autonomous renormalization scheme, indicate a comparatively massive, narrow Higgs excitation at about 2 TeV. Here I show that this result qualitatively…
We consider the effective potential $V$ in the standard model with a single Higgs doublet in the limit that the only mass scale $\mu$ present is radiatively generated. Using a technique that has been shown to determine $V$ completely in…
We formulate the electroweak chiral Lagrangian in its mass eigenstates, and study the its one-loop renormalization and provide its renormalization group equations to the same order, so as to complete it as the low energy effective theory of…
Basing on new regularization-renormalization method, the $\lambda\phi^4$ model used in standard model is studied both perturbatively and nonperturbatively (by Gaussian effective potential). The invariant property of two mass scales is…

A new class of renormalizable gauges is introduced that is particularly well suited to compute effective potentials in spontaneously broken gauge theories. It allows one to keep free gauge parameters when computing the effective potential…
We calculate the 1-loop effective potential of an Abelian Higgs model within the R_{\xi/\sigma} class of non-linear gauges that preserves the Higgs-boson low-energy theorem. The R_{\xi/\sigma} gauge involves two gauge-fixing parameters \xi…
It is shown by explicit calculation that the one-loop mass renormalization of the Higgs boson in the standard model is gauge-independent. It could even be rendered finite if the following mass relationships were satisfied: $m_t^2 \simeq…
The effective potential $V$ is considered in massless $\lambda\phi^4_4$ theory. The expansion of $V$ in powers of the coupling $\lambda$ and of the logarithm of the background field $\phi$ is reorganized in two ways; first as a series in…
The renormalization group method is applied to the three-loop effective potential of the massive $\phi^4$ theory in the $\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme in order to obtain the next-next-next-to-leading logarithm resummation. For this, we exploit…
We present a lattice computation of the effective potential for O(2)-invariant $(\lambda\Phi^4)_4$ theory in the region of bare parameters corresponding to a classically scale-invariant theory. As expected from ``triviality'' and as in the…
We present a formalism for local composite operators. The corresponding effective potential is unique, multiplicatively renormalizable, it is the sum of 1PI diagrams and can be interpreted as an energy-density. First we apply this method to…
Whether there exists a massive electroweak (EW) theory, without a Higgs spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism, that is gauge invariant and renormalizable is investigated. A Stueckelberg formalism for massive $W$ and $Z$ bosons is used to…
