Electroweak Higgs Potentials and Vacuum Stability

Marc Sher
- 01 Aug 1989 - 
- Vol. 179, pp 273-418
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.

The Theory of Electroweak Interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the structure of the standard electroweak theory and specify the couplings of the intermediate vector bosons and those of the Higgs particle with the fermions and among themselves, as dictated by the gauge symmetry plus the observed matter content and the requirement of renormalizability.

Electroweak vacuum stability and the Higgs field relaxation via gravitational effects

TL;DR: In this paper, a generic two-parameter model is considered in which the Higgs is non-minimally coupled to a higher-curvature theory of gravity.

The electroweak phase transition in models with gauge singlets

Amine Ahriche
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the strength of the electroweak phase transition in the simplest extension of the SM with a real gauge singlet using the sphaleron energy at the critical temperature.

Higgs domain walls in the thermal background

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the influence of the thermal bath of Standard Model particles on the dynamics of cosmological Higgs domain walls and found that both the position of the local maximum separating minima and the width of domain walls strongly depend on temperature.

Theoretical Higgs Mass Bounds in the Standard Model and Supersymmetric Extensions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a very basic introduction to different theoretical limits on the mass of Higgs scalars in the pure Standard Model and its Minimal Supersymmetric extension (MSSM).

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.
