Sp(2N) Lattice Gauge Theories and Extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics

E Bennett, J Holligan, DK Hong, H Hsiao, JW Lee… - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
We review the current status of the long-term programme of numerical investigation of S p (2

flavor-singlet composite states emerging in strongly coupled lattice field theories with matter …

Baryon asymmetry from a composite Higgs boson

S Bruggisser, B Von Harling, O Matsedonskyi… - Physical review …, 2018 - APS
We study the nature of the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in models where the Higgs
boson emerges as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of an approximate global symmetry …

Dilaton effective field theory

T Appelquist, J Ingoldby, M Piai - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
We review and extend recent studies of dilaton effective field theory (dEFT) that provide a
framework for the description of the Higgs boson as a composite structure. We first describe …

Low-energy effective action for pions and a dilatonic meson

M Golterman, Y Shamir - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
Numerical simulations of QCD-like theories in which the number of flavors is adjusted so that
the beta function is very small, but confinement and chiral symmetry breaking nevertheless …
