Fundamental electroweak properties arise from a spacetime theory of matter, permitting evaluation of low energy coupling constants from first principles.
The stability of the electroweak vacuum imposes important constraints on new physics models. Such new physics models may introduce one or more new thermal phases with a lower free energy than that of the electroweak vacuum. In this case,…
Theoretical uncertainties affecting electroweak observables are reviewed and the relevance of two-loop electroweak radiative corrections for the precision tests of the Standard Model is discussed.
These notes are concerned with the existence and the basic properties of the set-theoretic universes for nonstandard analysis, compiled by a beginner in the subject. It assumes a basic background in first-order logic, though the necessary…

We first discuss the basic features of electroweak 1-loop corrections in the Standard Model. We also give a short and elementary review on Higgs boson searches, grand unification, supersymmetry and extra dimensions.
