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.

Black hole induced false vacuum decay from first principles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a method to calculate the rate of false vacuum decay induced by a black hole using complex tunneling solutions and consistently took into account the structure of different quantum vacua in the black hole metric via boundary conditions.

A Solution to the cosmological constant problem

TL;DR: In this paper, the Yukawa theory was used to solve the cosmological constant problem in the following sense: the radiative corrections of fermions generate an effective potential for the scalar field, such that the effective cosmology term Lambda_eff is dynamically driven to zero.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonpolynomial Higgs interactions and vacuum stability

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the possibility that nonpolynomial bare interactions seeded at some high-momentum scale can considerably diminish the lower Higgs mass bound without introducing a metastability in the effective potential.

Vacuum Stability in the Standard Model

TL;DR: In this paper, a brief review of the electroweak vacuum stability and some related theoretical issues in the standard model are discussed. And possible ways to save the stability are also discussed. But, if there is no new physics between electroweak and Planck scale, we then don't have a stable vacuum.

Particle spectrum in the modified nonminimal supersymmetric standard model in the strong Yukawa coupling regime

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectrum of Higgs bosons and neutralinos is analyzed using the method of diagonalizing mass matrices proposed earlier, which gives a self-consistent solution in this region of parameter space.

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.
