abstract

We study, from theoretical and phenomenological angles, the Higgs boson oblique parameter $\hat{H}$, as the hallmark of off-shell Higgs physics. $\hat{H}$ is defined as the Wilson coefficient of the sole dimension-6 operator that modifies the Higgs boson propagator, within a Universal EFT. Theoretically, we describe self-consistency conditions on Wilson coefficients, derived from the K\"{a}ll\'{e}n-Lehmann representation. Phenomenologically, we demonstrate that the process $gg\to h^\ast \to VV$ is insensitive to propagator corrections from $\hat{H}$, and instead advertise four-top production as an effective high-energy probe of off-shell Higgs behaviour, crucial to break flat directions in the EFT.

  1. (Super)$\,$Gravity from Positivity

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Positivity of scattering amplitudes forces weakly coupled EFTs of a massive spin-3/2 particle to include gravity, and for charged states a gauged photon with g=2 and WGC-saturating charge.

  2. The Rise of Linear Trajectories

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Numerical S-matrix bootstrap shows that maximized couplings of the second and third higher-spin resonances select spectra lying on a linear Regge trajectory, anchored by the graviton in gravitational theories.

  3. Phenomenology of a Kinetic Higgs Portal

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A momentum-dependent Higgs portal can hide invisible decays, make four-top production the most sensitive probe, and open a dark-matter region immune to direct detection.

  4. Harnessing Higgs Kinematics for HEFT Constraints

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Reweighting Standard Model di-Higgs events with a momentum-dependent HEFT coupling gives expected Run 3 and HL-LHC constraints on a_22 and a_dd2, with four-top data helping to pin down a_22.
