A review of orbifold geometry is given, followed by a review of the construction of four-dimensional heterotic string models by compactification on a six-dimensional Z_3 orbifold. Particular attention is given to the details of the…

We investigate coupling selection rules in heterotic string theory on non-Abelian orbifolds. Since boundary conditions on the orbifolds are classified by conjugacy classes of space group elements, non-Abelian orbifolds give rise to…

We review the construction and classification of three-family grand unified models within the framework of asymmetric orbifolds in perturbative heterotic superstring. We give a detailed survey of all such models which is organized to aid…

In the two Higgs doublet model, natural flavour conservation can be achieved through the use of a discrete Z2 symmetry. A less restrictive condition is the requirement of alignment in the Yukawa sector. So far, alignment has been an anzatz,…

Vortex solutions in the two Higgs doublet electroweak model are constructed, and their stability to small perturbations is studied. The most general perturbation is decomposed into angular momentum modes, the least stable mode is…

The most general two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM) includes potentially large sources of flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) that must be suppressed in order to achieve a phenomenologically viable model. The flavor alignment ansatz…

It is shown that realistic models can be constructed in which the Standard Model Higgs field is in a non-trivial multiplet of a non-abelian family group of the quarks and leptons. It is shown that the observed quark and lepton masses and…

We describe a new kind of transition between topologically distinct $N=2$ type II Calabi--Yau vacua through points with enhanced non-abelian gauge symmetries together with fundamental charged matter hypermultiplets. We connect the…

We replace the scalar Higgs doublet with a vector Higgs boson doublet to the unified electroweak W-S model and find most of important features of W-S model are kept unchanged only the Higgs boson now become vector bosons. Lorentz invariance…

We examine the constraints coming from incorporating the full Standard Model gauge symmetry into the effective field theory description of flavor processes, using semileptonic decays as paradigmatic examples. Depending on the dynamics…

The spin-charge-family theory offers a possible explanation for the assumptions of the standard model, interpreting the standard model as its low energy effective manifestation. The theory predicts several scalar fields determining masses…

In multi-Higgs-doublet models, the alignment in flavour space of all Yukawa matrices coupling to a given right-handed fermion guarantees the absence of tree-level flavour-changing neutral couplings, while introducing new sources of CP…

After a discussion of the hierarchy problem of the Fermi scale, we study the flavour and Higgs boson(s) phenomenology of new physics close to it, both in general and in the specific cases of Supersymmetry and composite Higgs models. First,…

In the Standard Model, there is the single Higgs field, $\phi$, which gives rise to constituent quark and lepton masses. The Yukawa coupling is a highly complex set of $3 \times 3$ matrices, resulting in many textures of quark and lepton…

We perform a comprehensive analysis of a version of the 3-Higgs doublet model whose scalar potential is invariant under a global $\Delta(27)$ discrete symmetry and where the three scalar doublets are chosen to transform as a triplet under…

We present a non-trivial correlation between the enhancement of the Higgs-fermion couplings and the Higgs pair production cross section in two Higgs doublet models with a flavour symmetry. This symmetry suppresses flavour-changing neutral…

Orbifold compactification of heterotic E8 x E8 string theory is a source for promising grand unified model building. It can accommodate the successful aspects of grand unification while avoiding problems like doublet-triplet splitting in…

We search for a possibility of getting realistic fermion mass ratios and mixing angles from renormalizable couplings on the Z_6-I heterotic orbifold with one pair of Higgs doublets. In the quark sector, we find cases with reasonable…

We investigate the low--energy properties of a Z_12 orbifold with continuous Wilson line moduli. They give rise to a (0,2) superstring compactification. Their Kaehler potentials and Yukawa couplings are calculated. We study the discrete…

Though being weakly interacting, QED can support bound states. In principle, this can be expected for the weak interactions in the Higgs sector as well. In fact, it has been argued long ago that there should be a duality between bound…
