The Georgi-Machacek model extends the standard model Higgs sector by adding two isospin triplet scalar fields and imposing global SU(2)$_R$ symmetry on them. A feature of the model is that the triplets can acquire a large vacuum expectation…
We calculate the region of the MSSM parameter space (i.e. $M_{1/2}$, $m_{0}$, $\mu$, \ldots) compatible with a correct electroweak breaking and a realistic top-quark mass. To do so we have included {\em all} the one-loop corrections to the…
Possibility of electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) via multi-step phase transition (PT) is considered. We investigate the EWBG between $SU(2)$ broken phases in the second step PT of the two-step PT. The produced baryon number asymmetry is…

We suggest using Einstein's static universe metric for the metastable state after reheating, instead of the Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetime. In this case strong static gravitational potential leads to the effective reduction of the…
