Symmetries for SM Alignment in multi-Higgs Doublet Models

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-04-13 v3

Abstract

We derive the complete set of continuous maximal symmetries for Standard Model (SM) alignment that may occur in the tree-level scalar potential of multi-Higgs Doublet Models, with n>2n > 2 Higgs doublets. Our results generalize the symmetries of SM alignment, without decoupling of large mass scales or fine-tuning, previously obtained in the context of two-Higgs Doublet Models.
