The Higgs field and the Jordan Brans Dicke cosmology by Onder Dunya, Levent Akant, Metin Arik, Yelda Kardas, Selale Sahin, Tarik Tok

“…By performing a coordinate transformation in the field space for the reduced JBD action whose kinetic part is nonlinear sigma model, the Lagrangian of two scalar fields can be written as uncoupled for the Higgs mechanism. After this transformation, as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking, the time dependent vacuum expectation value (vev) of the Higgs field and the Higgs bosons which are the particles corresponding to quantized oscillation modes about the vacuum, are found.…”

The complete search for the supersymmetric Pati-Salam models from intersecting D6-branes by Weikun He, Tianjun Li, Rui Sun

“…Abstract We construct a systematic method to build all the possible three-family N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam models from Type IIA orientifolds on 𝕋6 /(ℤ2 × ℤ2) with intersecting D6-branes, in which the SU(4) C × SU(2) L × SU(2) R gauge symmetry can be broken down to the SU(3) C × SU(2) L × U(1) Y Standard Model gauge symmetry by the D-brane splitting and supersymmetry preserving Higgs mechanism. This is essentially achieved by solving all the common solutions for three generation conditions, RR tadpole cancellation conditions, and N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supersymmetry conditions with deterministic algorithm. …”

Aspects of compactification on a linear dilaton background by I. Antoniadis, C. Markou, F. Rondeau

“…We show that this background produces a Higgs mechanism for the KK vector coming from the 5D metric, which becomes massive by absorbing the string frame radion. …”

Division algebraic symmetry breaking by N. Furey, M.J. Hughes

“…Reframing certain well-known particle models in terms of normed division algebras leads to two new results for BSM physics.(1) We identify a sequence of complex structures which induces a cascade of breaking symmetries: Spin(10) ↦ Pati-Salam ↦ Left-Right symmetric ↦ Standard model + B-L (both pre- and post-Higgs-mechanism). These complex structures derive from the octonions, then from the quaternions, then from the complex numbers.(2) We provide, also for the first time we believe, an explicit demonstration of left-right symmetric Higgs representations stemming from quaternionic triality, tri(H). …”

Quantum simulation of the Abelian-Higgs lattice gauge theory with ultracold atoms by Daniel González-Cuadra, Erez Zohar, J Ignacio Cirac

“…The model contains both gauge and Higgs scalar fields, and exhibits interesting phases related to confinement and the Higgs mechanism. The model can be simulated by an atomic Hamiltonian, by first mapping the local gauge symmetry to an internal symmetry of the atomic system, the conservation of hyperfine angular momentum in atomic collisions. …”

A symmetry principle for gauge theories with fractons by Yuji Hirono, Minyoung You, Stephen Angus, Gil Young Cho

“…Due to the nonuniformity of the symmetry, some of the modes acquire a gap, which is the higher-form analogue of the inverse Higgs mechanism of spacetime symmetries. The gauge theories have emergent nonuniform magnetic symmetries, and some of the magnetic monopoles become fractonic. …”

Electroweak breaking and neutrino mass: ‘invisible’ Higgs decays at the LHC (type II seesaw) by Cesar Bonilla, Jorge C Romão, José W F Valle

“…Neutrino mass generation through the Higgs mechanism not only suggests the need to reconsider the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking from a new perspective, but also provides a new theoretically consistent and experimentally viable paradigm. …”

Real-time dynamics and proposal for feasible experiments of lattice gauge–Higgs model simulated by cold atoms by Yoshihito Kuno, Kenichi Kasamatsu, Yoshiro Takahashi, Ikuo Ichinose, Tetsuo Matsui

“…Among other models of lattice gauge theory, the lattice gauge–Higgs model is a quite important one because it describes a wide variety of phenomena/models related to the Anderson–Higgs mechanism, such as superconductivity, the standard model of particle physics, and the inflation process of the early Universe. …”

Relativistic Runge-Lenz vector: from N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SYM to SO(4) scalar field theory by J. Alvarez-Jimenez, I. Cortese, J. Antonio García, D. Gutiérrez-Ruiz, J. David Vergara

Revisiting the supersymmetric Pati–Salam models from intersecting D6-branes by Tianjun Li, Adeel Mansha, Rui Sun

Also, the hidden sector contains USp(n) branes, which are parallel with the orientifold planes or their $${{\mathbb {Z}}_2}$$ Z 2 images. …”

Naturalness in beyond the standard model physics by Garcia, I

“…The former makes an emphasis on the electroweak hierarchy problem, and a particular class of theories that provide a solution to this puzzle: models based on the Twin Higgs mechanism. Chapters 3 and 4 are based on work published in [1] and [2], where novel theories of Dark Matter, and their phenomenology, are explored in the context of Twin Higgs models. …”
