AbstractA realization of the composite Higgs scenario in the context of the effective model with the $$SU(2)_L\times U(1)_R$$ S U ( 2 ) L × U ( 1 ) R symmetric four-Fermi interactions proposed by Miransky, Tanabashi and Yamawaki is studied. The model implements Nambu’s mechanism of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking leading to the formation of $${{\bar{t}}}t$$ t ¯ t and $${{\bar{b}}}b$$ b ¯ b quark condensates. We explore the vacuum structure and spectrum of the model by using the Schwinger proper-time method. As a direct consequence of this mechanism, the Higgs acquires a mass in accord with its experimental value. The present prediction essentially differs from the known overestimated value, $$m_\chi = 2m_t$$ m χ = 2 m t , making more favourable the top condensation scenario presented here. The mass formulas for the members of the second Higgs doublet are also obtained. The Nambu sum rule is discussed. It is shown that the anomalous $$U(1)_A$$ U ( 1 ) A symmetry breaking modifies this rule at next to leading order in $$1/N_c$$ 1 / N c .

The top-quark Yukawa coupling is too large to permit radiative electroweak symmetry breaking to occur, to leading-logarithm order, for small values of y — the Higgs self-coupling. However, a large y solution leading to a viable Higgs mass of approximately 220 GeV does exist, and differs from conventional symmetry breaking by an approximately five-fold enhancement of the Higgs self-coupling. This scenario for radiative symmetry breaking is reviewed, and the order-by-order perturbative stability of this scenario is studied within the scalar-field theory projection of the Standard Model in which the Higgs self-coupling y represents the dominant Standard-Model coupling.PACS Nos.: 11.30.Qc, 11.10.Hi, 11.15.Tk, 12.15.Lk

Abstract We compute the decay spectrum for dark matter (DM) with masses above the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking, all the way to the Planck scale. For an arbitrary hard process involving a decay to the unbroken standard model, we determine the prompt distribution of stable states including photons, neutrinos, positrons, and antiprotons. These spectra are a crucial ingredient in the search for DM via indirect detection at the highest energies as being probed in current and upcoming experiments including IceCube, HAWC, CTA, and LHAASO. Our approach improves considerably on existing methods, for instance, we include all relevant electroweak interactions.

We suggest a new mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking in the supersymmetric Standard Model. Our suggestion is based on the presence of an anomalous U (1)A gauge symmetry, which naturally arises in the four-dimensional superstring theory, and heavily relies on the value of the corresponding Fayet–Illiopoulos ξ-term.

We present the Higgs mechanism in the context of the EW-scale [Formula: see text] model in which electroweak symmetry is dynamically broken by condensates of mirror quark and right-handed neutrino through the exchange of one fundamental Higgs doublet and one fundamental Higgs triplet, respectively. The formation of these condensates is dynamically investigated by using the Schwinger–Dyson approach. The occurrence of these condensates will give rise to the rich Higgs spectrum. In addition, the VEVs of Higgs fields is also discussed in this dynamical phenomenon.

Abstract We calculate high-precision constraints on Natural Inflation relative to current observational constraints from Planck 2018 + BICEP/Keck(BK15) Polarization + BAO on r and n S, including post-inflationary history of the universe. We find that, for conventional post-inflationary dynamics, Natural Inflation with a cosine potential is disfavored at greater than 95% confidence out by current data. If we assume protracted reheating characterized by w̅>1/3, Natural Inflation can be brought into agreement with current observational constraints. However, bringing unmodified Natural Inflation into the 68% confidence region requires values of T re below the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking. The addition of a SHOES prior on the Hubble Constant H 0 only worsens the fit.
