Abstract We consider a left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model where the spontaneous breakdown of the left-right symmetry is triggered by doublets. The electroweak ρ parameter is protected from large corrections in this Doublet Left-Right Model (DLRM), contrary to the triplet case. This allows in principle for more diverse patterns of symmetry breaking. We consider several constraints on the gauge and scalar sectors of DLRM: the unitarity of scattering processes involving gauge bosons with longitudinal polarisations, the radiative corrections to the muon ∆r parameter and the electroweak precision observables measured at the Z pole and at low energies. Combining these constraints within the frequentist CKMfitter approach, we see that the fit pushes the scale of left-right symmetry breaking up to a few TeV, while favouring an electroweak symmetry breaking triggered not only by the SU(2)L×SU(2)R bi-doublet, which is the case most commonly considered in the literature, but also by the SU(2)L doublet.

Abstract We discuss the vacuum structure of a version of the Georgi-Machecek model with an exact ℤ2 symmetry acting on the triplet fields. Besides the usual custodial-symmetric model, with ρ = 1 at tree-level, a model with a dark matter candidate is also viable. The other phases of the model lead to electric charge breaking, a wrong pattern of electroweak symmetry breaking or to ρ ≠ 1 at tree-level. We derive conditions to have an absolute minimum in each of the two viable phases, the custodial and the dark matter phases.

Connes's ideeas provide a framework in which the Higgs fields appear as components of a generalized gauge connection. This leads to theories with predictive power in the Higgs sector (for example, one can show that spontaneous symmetry breaking arises in a natural way). We describe a realization of this formalism where the underlying manifold is a two-sheeted space-time. We show how our particular formulation works for the case of the Standard Model and the Left-Right Symmetric Model.

Abstract The paradigm of second-order phase transitions (PTs) induced by spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in thermal and quantum systems is a pillar of modern physics that has been fruitfully applied to out-of-equilibrium open quantum systems. Dissipative phase transitions (DPTs) of second order are often connected with SSB, in close analogy with well-known thermal second-order PTs in closed quantum and classical systems. That is, a second-order DPT should disappear by preventing the occurrence of SSB. Here, we prove this statement to be wrong, showing that, surprisingly, SSB is not a necessary condition for the occurrence of second-order DPTs in \textit{out-of-equilibrium open quantum systems}. We analytically prove this result using the Liouvillian theory of dissipative phase transitions, and demonstrate this anomalous transition in two exemplary models: a paradigmatic laser model, where we can arbitrarily remove SSB while retaining criticality, and a $Z_2$-symmetric model of a two-photon Kerr resonator.
