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.

Higgs mass range from standard model false vacuum inflation in scalar-tensor gravity

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the amplitude of cosmological density perturbations from inflation is directly linked to the value of the Higgs potential at the false minimum.

Inflation and dark matter in two Higgs doublet models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the Higgs inflation in the extension of the Standard Model with two Higgs doublets coupled to gravity non-minimally, and show that the doublet dark matter is always heavy in multi-field inflation while it can be light due to the suppression of the co-annihilation in single field inflation.

SpecBit, DecayBit and PrecisionBit: GAMBIT modules for computing mass spectra, particle decay rates and precision observables

TL;DR: 3-BIT-HIT, a command-line utility for computing mass spectra, couplings, decays and precision observables in the MSSM, which shows how the three modules can easily be used independently of GAMBIT.

Renormalization-Group Improved Effective Lagrangian for Interacting Theories in Curved Spacetime

TL;DR: In this article, a method for finding the renormalization group (RG) improved effective Lagrangian for a massive interacting field theory in curved spacetime is presented. And the problems which appear when calculating the RG improved effective LAG for gauge theories are discussed, taking as example the asymptotically free SU(2) gauge model.

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.
