We define a Mellin amplitude for CFT$_1$ four-point functions. Its analytical properties are inferred from physical requirements on the correlator. We discuss the analytic continuation that is necessary for a fully nonperturbative…
In the application of on-shell recursion relation to string amplitudes, one challenge is the sum over infinite intermediate on-shell string states. In this note, we show how to sum these infinite states explicitly by including unphysical…
Vector-boson pair production is of great phenomenological importance at the LHC. These processes will help to validate the Standard Model at highest energies, and they may also open the door for the discovery of new physics potentially…
A new dynamical symmetry breaking of $SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)$ caused by the combination of the axial-vector component and the fermion mass is found in electroweak theory. We obtain (m^{2}_{W}={1/2}g^{2}m^{2}_{t}) and (m^{2}_{Z}=\rho…
We extend recent remarkable progress in the comparison of the dynamical energy spectrum of rotating closed strings in AdS_5xS^5 and the scaling weights of the corresponding non-near-BPS operators in planar N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory.…
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…
We investigate an extension of the Standard Model (SM) with two candidates for dark matter (DM). One of them is a real scalar field and the other is an Abelian gauge field. Except for these two, there is another beyond SM field which has…
The apparent absence of new heavy states at the LHC below the TeV scale points that there is a gap in the electroweak energy spectrum. This scenario is conveniently described through the electroweak effective theory, an effective…
Since the SU(n) gauge theory with massive gauge bosons has been proven to be renormalisable we reinvestigate the renormalisability of the SU$_L$(2) $\times$ U$_Y$(1) electroweak theory with massive W Z bosons. We expound that with the…
We study deformations of three-dimensional large N CFTs by double-trace operators constructed from spin s single-trace operators of dimension \Delta. These theories possess UV fixed points, and we calculate the change of the 3-sphere free…
We first propose a general method to construct the complete set of on-shell operator bases involving massive particles with any spins. To incorporate the non-abelian little groups of massive particles, the on-shell scattering amplitude…
A new framework to study electroweak physics at one-loop level in general ${\rm SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y}$ theories is introduced. It separates the 1-loop corrections into two pieces: process specific ones from vertex and box contributions and…
We present a calculation of the complete electroweak O(alpha) corrections to pp/ppbar -> W+/- -> l+/- nu (l=e, mu) in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions, focusing on those corrections which do not contribute in the pole…
We present a detailed analysis of strong first-order electroweak phase transitions within the extension of the Standard Model by a complex scalar singlet (cxSM). Focusing on the impact of renormalization scale and gauge dependence, we…
We elaborate on a recently suggested effective Lagrangian for charged-current and neutral-current electroweak interactions which in comparison with the standard electroweak theory contains three free parameters $\Delta x, \Delta y$,…
In gauge theories, contact terms play an important role in ensuring gauge invariance. In the spinor helicity formalism, the choice of a gauge-fixing condition manifests itself in the form of the choice of reference vector to write the…
We describe a general procedure to construct the independent and complete operator bases for generic Lorentz invariant effective field theories, given any kind of gauge symmetry and field content, up to any mass dimension. By considering…
We establish a direct connection between scattering amplitudes in planar four-dimensional theories and a remarkable mathematical structure known as the positive Grassmannian. The central physical idea is to focus on on-shell diagrams as…
Within the framework of the MSSM, we compute the electroweak one-loop supersymmetric quantum corrections to the width $\Gamma (t\rightarrow W^{+}\, b)$ of the canonical main decay of the top quark. The results are presented in two on-shell…
Five-dimensional models where the bulk is a slice of AdS have the virtue of solving the hierarchy problem. The electroweak scale is generated by a ``warp'' factor of the induced metric on the brane where the standard model fields live.…
