abstract

We show that, for the most generic model with two Higgs doublets possessing a minimum that preserves the $U(1)_{em}$ symmetry, charge breaking (CB) cannot occur. If CB does not occur, the potential could have two different minima, and there is in principle no general argument to show which one is the deepest. The depth of the potential at a stationary point that breaks CB or CP, relative to the $U(1)_{em}$ preserving minimum, is proportional to the squared mass of the charged or pseudoscalar Higgs, respectively.

  1. Two Higgs Doublet Solutions to the Strong CP Problem

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In softly broken CP and Abelian flavor symmetric two Higgs doublet theories, the strong CP parameter vanishes at tree and one loop for any second doublet mass, and two loop corrections are estimated at or below the cu...

  2. Fate of Metastable Vacua in the Type-II Two-Higgs Doublet Model

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Type-II two-Higgs-doublet model, once next-to-leading-order unitarity, perturbativity and current data are imposed, the electroweak vacuum remains the global minimum among neutral vacua at tree level and one lo...

  3. Vacuum Instability and False Vacuum Decay Induced by Domain Walls in the N2HDM

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Domain walls in the N2HDM can erase the barrier around the electroweak vacuum, making long-lived metastable vacua decay classically and excluding parameter points previously considered viable.

  4. Theorem on vacuum stability

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A type-I (Higgs-only VEV) local minimum is lower than every type-0 and type-III extremum in the restricted scalar potentials considered, by a proof using homogeneous-function identities.

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the BNT neutrino mass model the electroweak vacuum is not generically the global minimum, with stability reducible to two mass inequalities when the quadruplet vev vanishes.
