abstract
We study some implications of the presence of two inert scalar doublets which are charged under a dark Abelian gauge symmetry. Specifically, we investigate the effects of the new scalars on oblique electroweak parameters and on the interactions of the 125 GeV Higgs boson, especially its decay modes $h\to\gamma\gamma,\gamma Z$, and trilinear coupling, all of which will be probed with improved precision in future Higgs measurements. Moreover, we explore how the inert scalars may give rise to strongly first-order electroweak phase transition and also show its correlation with sizable modifications to the Higgs trilinear coupling.

Flavor Constraints in a Generational Three Higgs Doublet Model
A generational three-Higgs-doublet model is constructed, and flavor constraints show that its additional Higgs bosons can be as light as about 1.5 TeV if the only flavor violation is the minimal amount needed to reproduce the CKM matrix.
