Towards a unified theory of the fundamental physical interactions based on the underlying geometric structure of the tangent bundle by Joachim Herrmann

“…This explains fractional charge quantization of quarks and the existence of lepton and quark families. As will be shown, the SU(3) color symmetry for strong interactions arises in the TB as an emergent symmetry similar to Chern–Simon gauge symmetries in quantum Hall systems. …”

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

“…We illustrate this by describing the main features of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector of the simplest type-II seesaw model with spontaneous breaking of lepton number. After reviewing the relevant ‘theoretical’ and astrophysical restrictions on the Higgs sector, we perform an analysis of the sensitivities of Higgs Boson searches at the ongoing ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, including not only the new contributions to the decay channels present in the standard model (SM) but also genuinely non-SM Higgs Boson decays, such as ‘invisible’ Higgs Boson decays to majorons. …”

E6 inspired SUSY benchmarks, dark matter relic density and a 125 GeV Higgs by Peter Athron, Dylan Harries, Roman Nevzorov, Anthony G. Williams

“…In this model a single exact custodial symmetry forbids tree-level flavor-changing transitions and the most dangerous baryon and lepton number violating operators. We present a set of benchmark points showing scenarios that have a SM-like Higgs mass of 125 GeV and sparticle masses above the LHC limits. …”
