The Abelian Higgs model forms an essential part of the electroweak standard model: it is the sector containing only Z and Higgs bosons. We present a diagram-based proof of the tree-level unitarity of this model inside the unitary gauge,…

We have reconsidered theoretical upper bounds on the scalar boson masses within the two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM), employing the well-known technical condition of tree-level unitarity. Our treatment provides a modest extension and…
We show that scalar unparticles coupled to the Standard Model Higgs at the renormalizable level can have a dramatic impact in the breaking of the electroweak symmetry already at tree level. In particular one can get the proper electroweak…
Because of the existence of cubic scalar couplings, there are in general nondecoupling effects at tree level in the scalar sector of any theory with two or more very different mass scales. We show this explicitly in the minimal…

The Higgs boson quartic self-coupling in the Standard Model appears to become zero just below the Planck scale, with interesting implications to the stability fo the Higgs vacuum at high energies. We review the Multiple Point Principle that…
