One-loop corrections in the complex Higgs triplet model shift the 125 GeV Higgs decay rates to WW* and ZZ* upward by a few percent relative to the SM, while allowing up to -20% deviation in gamma gamma and 100% in the self-coupling.

abstract
We study coupling constants of the standard model like Higgs boson with the gauge bosons $hZZ$ and $hWW$ and fermions $hf\bar{f}$ in the general Higgs sector which contains higher isospin representations with arbitrary hypercharge. In Higgs sectors with exotic Higgs representations, the $hZZ$ and $hWW$ coupling constants can be larger than those in the standard model. We calculate deviations in the Higgs boson couplings from standard model values in the model with a real or complex triplet field, the Georgi-Machacek model and the model with a septet scalar field. We also study deviations in the event rates of $h\to ZZ^*$, $h\to WW^*$, $h\to \gamma\gamma$, $h\to b\bar{b}$ and $h\to \tau\tau$ channels.

Radiative corrections to decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson in the complex Higgs triplet model
One-loop corrections in the complex Higgs triplet model shift the 125 GeV Higgs decay rates to WW* and ZZ* upward by a few percent relative to the SM, while allowing up to -20% deviation in gamma gamma and 100% in the self-coupling.
