We propose a new type of supersymmetric Twin Higgs model where the SU(4) invariant quartic term is provided by a D-term potential of a new U(1) gauge symmetry. In the model the 125 GeV Higgs mass can be obtained for stop masses below 1 TeV,…
The current LHC results make weak scale supersymmetry difficult due to relatively heavy mass of the discovered Higgs boson and the null results of new particle searches. Geometrical supersymmetry breaking from extra dimensions,…
The mechanism of elementary particle mass generation is a fundamental issue of physics. While cardinal progress has recently been achieved in the case of leptons and current quarks through the Brout-Engler-Higgs mechanism, this issue is at…
The generalized Higgs mass term $NH_1H_2$ of the supersymmetric standard model is used to implement the Peccei-Quinn Symmetry to solve the strong-CP problem. Then supersymmetry breaking can generate the Higgs mass parameter $\mu$ of order…
Recent interest in horizontal symmetry model building has been driven mainly by the large top mass and hence strong hierarchy in quark masses, and the possibility of appropriately constrained soft squark mass matrices, in place of an…
Analyzing the vacuum of the Higgs field reveals that it must have a finite symmetry. It is proposed that this finite symmetry is the Fisher-Griess monster $\mathbb{M}$ symmetry. Particularly, it is reported that the initial state of an…
The up-down splitting within quark families increases with the family number: m_u ~ m_d, m_c > m_s, m_t >> m_b. We show an approach that realizes this feature of the spectrum in a natural way. We suggest that the mass hierarchy is first…
Considering the supersymmetric Higgs mass ($\mu$-parameter) as a dynamical variable to be determined by minimizing the energy, we predict its value as a function of the soft masses of the potential. We find that $\mu$ has a nonzero value…
In the gauge-Higgs unification with multiple extra spaces, the Higgs self-coupling is of the order of $g^2$ and Higgs is predicted to be light, being consistent with the LHC results. When the gauge group is simple, the weak mixing angle is…
We propose a framework for natural breaking of electroweak symmetry in supersymmetric models, where elementary Higgs fields are semi-perturbatively coupled to a strong superconformal sector. The Higgs VEVs break conformal symmetry in the…
The current experimental lower bound on the Higgs mass significantly restricts the allowed parameter space in most realistic supersymmetric models, with the consequence that these models exhibit significant fine-tuning. We propose a…
We propose a model of generations that has exactly three generations. This model has several attractive features: There is a simple mechanism to produce the CKM quark mixings and their neutrino analogs. There are definite predictions for…
The predictions for the Higgs mass in extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model are discussed. We propose a simple theory where the Higgs mass is modified at tree-level and one can achieve a mass around 125 GeV without…
The successful prediction of $\sin^2\theta_W$ suggests that the effective theory beneath the GUT scale is the two-Higgs MSSM. If we further assume that the unified gauge group contains SO(10), that the two light Higgs doublets lie mostly in…
We find a solution to the Strong CP problem that may be testable at the LHC and future colliders. In this solution CP is broken by parity conserving terms, while parity breaking VEVs conserve CP. The quark mass matrix is Hermitian at the…
We address emergent higher-form symmetry in Higgs phases with superfluidity. The emergent symmetry appears if a matter field is invariant under a transformation of a common subgroup of gauge and global $\mathrm{U}(1)$ symmetries. We…
In this talk I review the `puzzles' associated with the fermion mass matrices and describe some recent attempts to resolve them, at least partially. Models which attempt to explain the observed mass hierarchy as arising from radiative…
We call attention to the fact that the gauge symmetry $SU(3)\times SU(2)_{_L}\times U(1)$ of the Standard Model can be easily and naturally extended by the local conformal symmetry connected with the possibility of choosing the local length…
I discuss the suppression of the lightest generation fermion mass terms in realistic superstring standard--like models in the free fermionic formulation. The suppression of the mass terms is a consequence of horizontal symmetries that arise…
The main challenge faced by Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking is to reconcile the experimental constraints imposed by the precision electroweak data and the top quark phenomenology with the unitarity constraints imposed by…
