TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the Higgs boson of the Standard Model can lead to inflation and produce cosmological perturbations in accordance with observations, and that the essential requirement is the non-minimal coupling of the scalar field to gravity; no new particle besides already present in the electroweak theory is required.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a composite Higgs in the framework of a five-dimensional AdS theory, where electroweak symmetry is broken dynamically via top loop effects, all flavour problems are solved, and contributions to electroweak precision observables are below experimental bounds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first complete next-to-next-toleading order analysis of the Standard Model Higgs potential, showing that at the Planck scale, absolute stability of the potential is not guaranteed at 98% C.L. for Mh < 126 GeV.
Abstract: We present the rst complete next-to-next-to-leading order analysis of the Standard Model Higgs potential. We computed the two-loop QCD and Yukawa corrections to the relation between the Higgs quartic coupling ( ) and the Higgs mass (Mh), reducing the theoretical uncertainty in the determination of the critical value of Mh for vacuum stability to 1 GeV. While at the Planck scale is remarkably close to zero, absolute stability of the Higgs potential is excluded at 98% C.L. for Mh < 126 GeV. Possible consequences of the near vanishing of at the Planck scale, including speculations about the role of the Higgs eld during ination, are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and the fundamental properties of the Higgs particle of the Standard Model and its decay modes and production mechanisms at hadron colliders and at future lepton colliders.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the topological operators and the gauge field operators form a closed algebra from which it is deduced that this system can be in one of the four different phases: (i) spontaneous breakdown via an explicit or composite Higgs field, (ii) no Higgs fields but permanent confinement of gauge quantum numbers, (iii) Higgs effect and still confinement, presumably only if there is an unbroken subgroup, and (iv) an intermediate phase (critical point?) with massless particles.
