abstract
We continue to explore the consequences of the recently discovered Minkowski space structure of the Higgs potential in the two-Higgs-doublet model. Here, we focus on the vacuum properties. The search for extrema of the Higgs potential is reformulated in terms of 3-quadrics in the 3+1-dimensional Minkowski space. We prove that 2HDM cannot have more than two local minima in the orbit space and that a twice-degenerate minimum can arise only via spontaneous violation of a discrete symmetry of the Higgs potential. Investigating topology of the 3-quadrics, we give concise criteria for existence of non-contractible paths in the Higgs orbit space. We also study explicit symmetries of the Higgs potential/lagrangian and their spontaneous violation from a wider perspective than usual.

New fermion transformations and all-order renormalization-invariant parameter regions are identified for two-Higgs-doublet models including scalar-fermion interactions.
The r0 symmetry is preserved at one-loop in the r0-invariant two-Higgs Doublet Model if the UV cutoff squared transforms non-trivially under r0; the minimal model requires two real fields.
