A method is presented for the analysis of the scalar potential in the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model. This allows us to give the conditions for the stability of the potential and for electroweak symmetry breaking in this model in a very concise way. These results are then applied to two different Higgs potentials in the literature, namely the MSSM and the Two-Higgs-Doublet potential proposed by Gunion at al. All known results for these models follow easily as special cases from the general results. In particular, in the potential of Gunion et al. we can clarify some interesting aspects of the model with the help of the proposed method.

    A two-loop neutrino mass model with modular S4 and Z3 symmetries reproduces charged lepton masses and normal-ordering neutrino data while predicting observable LFV and viable DM candidates.

    New fermion transformations and all-order renormalization-invariant parameter regions are identified for two-Higgs-doublet models including scalar-fermion interactions.

  3. Imaginary scaling invariance of the one-loop effective potential

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.
