Marc Sher

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.

Lower limit on the Higgs mass in the standard model: An Update

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reanalyze the lower limit in detail as a function of m t and Λ, showing that the Higgs particle is too heavy to be found at LEP if the Standard Model is valid up to a sufficiently large scale Λ.

Cosmological implications of the Higgs mass measurement

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assume the validity of the Standard Model up to an arbitrary high-energy scale and discuss what information on the early stages of the Universe can be extracted from a measurement of the Higgs mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supersymmetric particle spectrum

TL;DR: The spectrum of supersymmetric particles predicted by grand unified theoretical (GUT) models where the electroweak symmetry breaking is accomplished radiatively is examined and the soft-supersymmetry-breaking parameters according to the renormalization group equations (RGE) are evolved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymptotic freedom in inflationary cosmology with a non-minimally coupled Higgs field

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the renormalization group improvement in the theory of the Standard Model Higgs boson playing the role of an inflaton with a strong non-minimal coupling to gravity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stabilization of the Electroweak Vacuum by a Scalar Threshold Effect

TL;DR: In this paper, the quartic interaction between the heavy scalar singlet and the Higgs doublet leads to a positive tree-level threshold correction, which is very effective in stabilizing the potential.

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.
