We suggest using Einstein’s static universe metric for the metastable state after reheating, instead of the Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetime. In this case, strong static gravitational potential leads to the effective reduction of the Higgs vacuum expectation value, which is found to be compatible with the Standard Model first-order electroweak phase transition conditions. Gravity could also increase the CP-violating effects for particles that cross the new phase bubble walls and thus is able to lead to the successful electroweak baryogenesis scenario.

Abstract In the standard model, the weak scale is the only parameter with mass dimensions. This means that the standard model itself cannot explain the origin of the weak scale. On the other hand, from the results of recent accelerator experiments, except for some small corrections, the standard model has increased the possibility of being an effective theory up to the Planck scale. From these facts, it is naturally inferred that the weak scale is determined by some dynamics from the Planck scale. In order to answer this question, we rely on the multiple point criticality principle as a clue and consider the classically conformal $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant two-scalar model as a minimal model in which the weak scale is generated dynamically from the Planck scale. This model contains only two real scalar fields and does not contain any fermions or gauge fields. In this model, due to a Coleman–Weinberg-like mechanism, the one-scalar field spontaneously breaks the $ \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry with a vacuum expectation value connected with the cutoff momentum. We investigate this using the one-loop effective potential, renormalization group and large-$N$ limit. We also investigate whether it is possible to reproduce the mass term and vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field by coupling this model with the standard model in the Higgs portal framework. In this case, the one-scalar field that does not break $\mathbb{Z}_2$ can be a candidate for dark matter and have a mass of about several TeV in appropriate parameters. On the other hand, the other scalar field breaks $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and has a mass of several tens of GeV. These results will be verifiable in near-future experiments.

We calculate all relevant Feynman-diagrams in lowest order for [Formula: see text]-mixing. We add to the Standard Model (SM) two scalar Higgs-doublets and take into account the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Within the Standard Model which has been extended by two Higgs-doublets we find the following relation between the Higgs-mass and its vacuum expectation value (vev): mH=5000/7(au-0.43). Inclusion of the MSSM pushes the value of Vtd to the lower edge of the experimentally allowed range.

We consider a modification of the Wilson-Yukawa model to overcome the difficulty that the fermion mass is not proportional to the Higgs vacuum expectation value. In the modification scalar and fermionic regulator fields are introduced so that all the physical fermion fields possess shift symmetry when the Yukawa coupling vanishes. With the fermionic hopping parameter expansion it is shown that the fermion mass is proportional to the Higgs vacuum expectation value. We find, however, that the coupling of fermion to the external gauge field is always vectorlike in the continuum limit and that further modifications to the scalar action cannot change this undesirable conclusion.

We investigate the Randall–Sundrum model with a light stabilized radion (required to fix the size of the extra dimension) in the light of muon anomalous magnetic moment [Formula: see text]. Using the recent data (obtained from the E821 experiment of the BNL Collaboration) which differs by 2.6σ from the Standard Model result, we obtain constraints on radion mass mϕ and radion vacuum expectation value 〈ϕ〉. In the presence of a radion the beta functions β(λ) and β(gt) of Higgs quartic coupling (λ) and top-Yukawa coupling (gt) gets modified. We find these modified beta functions. Using these beta functions together with the anomaly constrained mϕ and 〈ϕ〉, we obtain lower bound on Higgs mass mh. We compare our result with the present LEP2 bound on mh.

We propose a model with an extra isospin doublet [Formula: see text] gauge symmetry, in which we introduce several extra fermions with odd parity under a discrete [Formula: see text] symmetry in order to cancel the gauge anomalies out. A remarkable issue is that we impose nonzero [Formula: see text] charge to the Standard Model Higgs, and it gives the most stringent constraint to the vacuum expectation value of a scalar field breaking the [Formula: see text] symmetry that is severer than the LEP bound. We then explore relic density of a Majorana dark matter candidate without conflict of constraints from lepton flavor violating processes. A global analysis is carried out to search for parameters which can accommodate with the observed data.
