Electroweak symmetry breaking may be naturally induced by the observed quark and gauge fields in extra dimensions without a fundamental Higgs field. We show that a composite Higgs doublet can arise as a bound state of $(t, b)_L$ and a…
There is a good reason why the standard electroweak SU(2) X U(1) gauge model may be supplemented by two Higgs scalar doublets. They may be remnants of the spontaneous breaking of an SU(2) X SU(2) X U(1) gauge symmetry at a much higher…
We examine the Higgs mass parameters and electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric orbifold field theories in which the 4-dimensional Higgs fields originate from higher-dimensional gauge supermultiplets. It is noted that such…
Lee-Wick partners to the Standard Model Higgs doublet may appear at a mass scale that is significantly lower than that of the remaining Lee-Wick partner states. The relevant effective theory is a two-Higgs doublet model in which one doublet…
The Higgs boson of the Standard model is described by a set of off-diagonal components of the multidimensional metric tensor, as well as the gauge fields. In the low-energy limit, the basic properties of the Higgs boson are reproduced,…
Electroweak theory joins electromagnetism with the weak force in a single quantum field theory, ascribing the two fundamental interactions--so different in their manifestations--to a common symmetry principle. How the electroweak gauge…
We consider the conditions for the validity of a two-Higgs doublet model at high energy scales, together with all other low- and high-energy constraints. The constraints on the parameter space at low energy, including the measured value of…
We analyze finite supersymmetric SU(5) GUT taking into account the problem in the Higgs potential and threshold corrections to gauge and Yukawa couplings at GUT and SUSY scales which is important in case of large $\tan \beta$ model. We find…
In the two Higgs doublet model, perturbativity breaks down below the Planck scale: For top mass values 170-180 GeV, the Yukawa coupling reaches the pole below 1000 TeV, if the ratio of vev's v_u/v_d is below 1. We discuss top condensate…
We study the theoretical and phenomenological consequences of modifying the Kahler potential of the MSSM two Higgs doublet sector. Such modifications naturally arise when the Higgs sector mixes with a quasi-hidden conformal sector, as in…
The long-awaited Higgs particle H around 125 GeV has been observed at the LHC. Interpreting it as the standard model Higgs boson and if there is no new physics between electroweak and Planck scale, we then don't have a stable vacuum. Here,…
We examine the Standard Model field configurations near cosmic strings in a particular class of models. This class is defined by the condition that the generator of the flux in the string, $T_s$, commutes with the Standard Model Lie…
We study the Two Higgs Doublet Model of type II, set limits to the parameter $\tan\beta$ as a function of the mass of the charged Higgs $m_{H}$, and find interesting discovery channels in hadron colliders or muon colliders. We also obtain…
We examine the prospects for determining $\tan\beta$ from heavy Higgs scalar production in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at a future $e^+e^-$ collider. Our analysis is independent of assumptions of parameter unification, and we…
We examine the prospects for determining $tan \beta$ from heavy Higgs scalar production in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at a future $e^+ e^-$ collider. Our analysis is independent of assumptions of parameter unification, and we…
We consider a version of special relativity assuming that the metric in inertial frames is conformally pseudoeuclidean and depends on some scalar field with zero vacuum average. Applying this modified special relativity to the theory of…
It is widely stated that the ratio of neutral Higgs field vacuum expectation values, $\tanb$, is one of the most difficult parameters to determine in either the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) or a general type-II Two-Higgs…
The possibility of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking by strong coupling gauge interaction in models with D-branes in String Theory is examined. Instead of elementary scalar Higgs doublet fields, the gauge symmetry with strong coupling…
The recent experimental hints for a relatively heavy Higgs with a mass in the range 119-125 GeV favour supersymmetric scenarios with a large mixing in the stop mass matrix. It has been shown that this is possible in the constrained Minimal…
We go beyond parameterizations of soft terms in superstring models and investigate the dynamical assumptions that lead to the relative strength of the dilaton {\it vs} the moduli contributions in the soft breaking. Specifically, we discuss…
