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…
Branchina et al and Consoli have recently shown that the one-loop effective potential (1LEP) of massless lambda-phi**4 theory can be renormalized in two distinct ways. One of these is the conventional renormalization of Coleman and…
The autonomous renormalization of the O(N)-symmetric scalar theory is based on an infinite re-scaling of constant fields, whereas finite-momentum modes remain finite. The natural framework for a detailed analysis of this method is a system…
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…
In the two loop approximation, a renormalization group analysis of the Higgs boson mass is performed based on the condition $g^2=(5/3)g'^2=4\lambda$ for SU(2)_L, U(1)_Y gauge and the Higgs quartic coupling constants, respectively. This…
We propose, for the computation of the Higgs mass spectrum and couplings, a renormalization-group improved leading-log approximation, where the renormalization scale is fixed to the top-quark pole mass. For the case $m_A\sim M_{\rm SUSY}$,…
A consistent interpretation of the Higgs data requires the same precision in the Higgs boson masses and in the trilinear Higgs self-couplings, which are related through their common origin from the Higgs potential. In this work we provide…
We present the evaluation of the two-loop O(g^4 mt^2) effects in the partial widths of the Z boson in the MSbar scheme and in two different implementations of the on-shell scheme. We observe a clear reduction of the scheme dependence of the…
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…
In supersymmetric models with minimal particle content and without left-right squark mixing, the conventional wisdom is that the 125.6 GeV Higgs boson mass implies top squark masses of O(10) TeV, far beyond the reach of colliders. This…
We analyze the minimal supersymmetric Higgs self-couplings at O(alpha_t alpha_s) within the effective potential approach. The two-loop corrections turn out to be of moderate size in the DRbar scheme if the central scale is chosen as half…
We compute the two-loop QCD corrections to the neutral Higgs-boson masses in the MSSM, including the effect of non-vanishing external momenta in the self-energies. We obtain corrections of O(alpha_t*alpha_s) and O(alpha*alpha_s), i.e., all…
We provide the two-loop corrections to the Higgs boson masses of the CP-violating NMSSM in the Feynman diagrammatic approach with vanishing external momentum at ${\cal O} (\alpha_t \alpha_s)$. The adopted renormalization scheme is a mixture…
Using an effective potential approach, we compute two-loop radiative corrections to the MSSM lightest ${\cal CP}$-even Higgs boson mass $M_{h^0}$ to ${\cal O}(\alpha_t^2)$ for arbitrary left-right top-squark mixing and $\tan\beta$. We find…
Plausible interrelations between parameters of the standard model are studied. The empirical value of the top quark mass, when used in the renormalization group equations, suggests that the ratio of the colour SU(3) gauge coupling $g_3$,…
The mass of the Higgs boson in the Split Supersymmetric Standard Model is calculated, including all one-loop threshold effects and the renormalization group evolution of the Higgs quartic coupling through two-loops. The two-loop corrections…
We provide a full one-loop calculation of the self energies and tadpoles of the neutral Higgs bosons of the NMSSM. In addition, we compute the two-loop O(alpha_t*alpha_s+alpha_b*alpha_s) corrections to the neutral Higgs boson masses in the…
We argue that massless (lambda Phi^4)_4 is "trivial" without being entirely trivial. It has a non-trivial effective potential which leads to spontaneous symmetry breaking, but the particle excitations above the broken vacuum are…
In supersymmetric theories the Higgs boson masses are derived quantities where higher-order corrections have to be included in order to match the measured Higgs mass value at the precision of current experiments. Closely related through the…
We revisit the one-loop calculation of the Higgs-mass spectrum of the scale-invariant THDM, relying on a direct calculation of the relevant Feynman diagrams. We highlight a number of incorrect assumptions in earlier calculations that relied…
