Marc Sher
- 01 Aug 1989 -

TLDR
In this article, the method of calculating radiative corrections to the scalar potentials is reviewed, with an emphasis on renormalization group improvement of the potential, and the results are then applied to the standard model to derive stringent bounds on Higgs and fermion passes.

OUP accepted manuscript

TL;DR: In this article , a multi-step electroweak phase transition in two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs) was discussed and a mass hierarchy between the neutral CP-odd and CP-even extra scalar bosons was found.

GENERALIZED DUAL SYMMETRY OF NON-ABELIAN THEORIES AND THE FREEZING OF αs

TL;DR: In this article, the renormalization group equations (RGE's) for pure non-Abelian theories are analyzed for both constants, α = g2/4π and.

The Hierarchy Problem and the Cosmological Constant Problem Revisited

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Standard Model (SM) in the Higgs phase does not suffer from a hierarchy problem and that similarly the cosmological constant problem resolves itself if we understand the SM as a low energy effective theory emerging from a cutoff-medium at the Planck scale.

Nuclear processes in other universes: Varying the strength of the weak force

TL;DR: In this paper, the physics of both big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and stellar evolution were studied in universes where the weak interaction is either stronger or weaker than observed, and the range of this parameter space that supports working stars was delineated.

Inflationary universe: A possible solution to the horizon and flatness problems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model of hot big-bang cosmology where the early universe is assumed to be highly homogeneous, in spite of the fact that separated regions were causally disconnected (horizon problem).

Quantum Field Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a modern pedagogic introduction to the ideas and techniques of quantum field theory is presented, with a brief overview of particle physics and a survey of relativistic wave equations and Lagrangian methods.

CP Conservation in the Presence of Pseudoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an explanation of the conservation of strong interactions which includes the effects of pseudoparticles, and they find it is a natural result for any theory where at least one flavor of fermion acquires its mass through a Yukawa coupling to a scalar field which has nonvanishing vacuum expectation value.

CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no CP-violating interactions exist in the quartet scheme without introducing any other new fields, and that the strong interaction must be chiral SU ( 4) X SU( 4) invariant as precisely as the conservation of the third component of the iso-spin.

A new inflationary universe scenario: A possible solution of the horizon, flatness, homogeneity, isotropy and primordial monopole problems

TL;DR: A new inflationary universe scenario is suggested in this paper, which is free of the shortcomings of the previous one and provides a possible solution of the horizon, flatness, homogeneity and isotropy problems in cosmology.
