QFT without infinities and hierarchy problem

Sander Johannes Nicolaas Mooij, Mikhail Chapochnikov

The standard way to do computations in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) often results in the requirement of dramatic cancellations between contributions induced by a "heavy" sector into the physical observables of the "light" (or low energy) sector - the phenome ...

Asymptotic scale invariance and its consequences

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Kengo Shimada

Scale invariance supplemented by the requirement of the absence of new heavy particles may play an important role in addressing the hierarchy problem. We discuss how the Standard Model may become scale invariant at the quantum level above a certain value o ...

Flux Tube S-Matrix Bootstrap

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Andrea Guerrieri, Aditya Hebbar

We bootstrap the S matrix of massless particles in unitary, relativistic two dimensional quantum field theories. We find that the low energy expansion of such S matrices is strongly constrained by the existence of a UV completion. In the context of flux tu ...

Higgs inflation at the critical point

Mikhail Chapochnikov

Higgs inflation can occur if the Standard Model (SM) is a self-consistent effective field theory up to inflationary scale. This leads to an upper bound on the top Yukawa coupling, y(t)(phys) < y(t)(crit) and thus on the mass of the top quark m(t). If m(t) ...

Strong Higgs interactions at a linear collider

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo, Roberto Contino, Andrea Thamm

We study the impact of Higgs precision measurements at a high-energy and high-luminosity linear electron positron collider, such as CLIC or the ILC, on the parameter space of a strongly interacting Higgs boson. Some combination of anomalous couplings are a ...

Ultraviolet completion without symmetry restoration

Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We show that it is not possible to UV complete certain low-energy effective theories with spontaneously broken spacetime symmetries by embedding them into linear sigma models, that is, by adding "radial" modes and restoring the broken symmetries. When such ...

Higgs couplings in composite models

Francesco Riva, Riccardo Torre, Ennio Salvioni

We study Higgs couplings in the composite Higgs model based on the coset SO(5)/SO(4). We show that the couplings to gluons and photons are insensitive to the elementary-composite mixings and thus not affected by light fermionic resonances. Moreover, at lea ...

Asymptotic safety of gravity and the Higgs-boson mass

Mikhail Chapochnikov

If gravity is asymptotically safe, then the ultimate theory might be just the standard model (minimally supplemented by a few light particles to accommodate neutrino masses and oscillations, dark matter, and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe) plus gravi ...

Higgs boson mass and new physics

Mikhail Chapochnikov

We discuss the lower Higgs boson mass bounds which come from the absolute stability of the Standard Model (SM) vacuum and from the Higgs inflation, as well as the prediction of the Higgs boson mass coming from the asymptotic safety of the SM. We account fo ...

Asymptotic safety of gravity and the Higgs boson mass

Mikhail Chapochnikov

There are indications that gravity is asymptotically safe. The Standard Model (SM) plus gravity could be valid up to arbitrarily high energies. Supposing that this is indeed the case and assuming that there are no intermediate energy scales between the Fer ...
