Abstract We consider the generation of neutrino masses via a singly-charged scalar singlet. Under general assumptions we identify two distinct structures for the neutrino mass matrix. This yields a constraint for the antisymmetric Yukawa coupling of the singly-charged scalar singlet to two left-handed lepton doublets, irrespective of how the breaking of lepton-number conservation is achieved. The constraint disfavours large hierarchies among the Yukawa couplings. We study the implications for the phenomenology of lepton-flavour universality, measurements of the W-boson mass, flavour violation in the charged-lepton sector and decays of the singly-charged scalar singlet. We also discuss the parameter space that can address the Cabibbo Angle Anomaly.

The thermodynamic potential for a charged scalar field of mass m on a (3+1)-dimensional space-time with hyperbolic H3/Γ spatial part is evaluated using zeta-function and heat kernel regularization techniques and Selberg trace formula for co-compact group Γ. High and low temperature expansions are obtained and discussed in detail.

We show, to all orders in perturbation theory, that the theory of charged scalars in 2+1 dimensions with a |ϕ|4 self-interaction coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields is equivalent to a theory of self-interacting fermions with a [Formula: see text] interaction.

In this paper, a detailed analysis for superradiant stability of the system composed by a [Formula: see text]-dimensional Reissner–Nordström-anti-de Sitter (RN-AdS) black hole and a reflecting mirror under charged scalar perturbations are presented in the linear regime. It is found that the stability of the system is heavily affected by the mirror radius as well as the mass of the scalar perturbation, AdS radius and the dimension of spacetime. In a higher dimensional spacetime, the degree of instability of the superradiant modes will be severely weakened. Nevertheless, the degree of instability can be magnified significantly by choosing a suitable value of the mirror radius. Remarkably, when the mirror radius is smaller than a threshold value the system becomes stable. We also find that massive charged scalar fields cannot trigger the instabilities in the background of [Formula: see text]-dimensional asymptotically flat RN black hole. For a given scalar charge, a small RN-AdS black hole can be superradiantly unstable, while a large one may be always stable under charged scalar field with or without a reflecting mirror. We also show that these results can be easily expounded and understood with the help of factorized potential analysis.
