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.

Heavy Higgs-boson lifetime at two loops.

TL;DR: A subset of finite two-loop vertex diagrams is computed to high precision using numerical techniques, and full analytic results for all divergent two- loop Feynman diagrams are given.

Higgs mass bounds from renormalization flow for a Higgs–top–bottom model

TL;DR: In this paper, a lower bound for the Higgs mass with vacuum stability was derived for the class of standard bare potentials of the top-bottom sector of the standard model.

Probing baryogenesis through the Higgs boson self-coupling

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the link between a modified Higgs self-coupling and the strong first-order phase transition necessary for baryogenesis and found that a strong first order phase transition manifests itself in an enhancement of the Higgs Self-Coupling by at least 50%, implying that such modified higgs potentials should be accessible at the LHC.

Classical scale invariance in the inert doublet model

TL;DR: In this paper, a classically scale invariant version of the inert doublet model with a minimal hidden sector was proposed, which has a U(1) CW gauge symmetry and a complex scalar.

The structure of the world from pure numbers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the relationship between physics and mathematics, and they show that requiring the joint mathematical consistency of the Standard Model of particle physics and the DeWitt-Feynman-Weinberg theory of quantum gravity can resolve the horizon, flatness and isotropy problems of cosmology.

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.
