Sphalerons with Two Higgs Doublets
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on work studying the properties of the sphaleron in models of the electroweak interactions with two Higgs doublets in as model-independent a way as possible: by exploring the physical parameter space described by the masses and mixing angles of the Higgs particles. If one of the Higgs particles is heavy, there can be several sphaleron solutions, distinguished by their properties under parity and the behaviour of the Higgs field at the origin. In general, these solutions are not spherically symmetric, although the departure from spherical symmetry is small. SUSX-TH-01-001

Sphalerons in Two Higgs Doublet Theories
We undertake a comprehensive investigation of the properties of the sphaleron in electroweak theories with two Higgs doublets. We do this in as model-independent a way as possible: by exploring the physical parameter space described by the masses and mixing angles of the Higgs particles. If there is a large split in the masses of the neutral Higgs particles, there can be several sphaleron solut...
متن کاملOn Spherically-symmetric Solutions in the Two-higgs Standard Model
We report the results of a numerical search for non-topological solitons in the two-Higgs standard model, characterized by the non-trivial winding, π3(S ), of the relative phase of the two doublets. In a region of (weak-coupling) parameter space we identify a branch of winding solutions, which are lower in energy than the embedded standard sphaleron and deformed (bi)sphalerons. Contrary, howeve...
متن کاملPlatonic Sphalerons in the Presence of a Dilaton Field
We construct sphaleron solutions with discrete symmetries in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to a dilaton. Related to rational maps of degree N , these platonic sphalerons can be assigned a Chern-Simons number Q = N/2. We present sphaleron solutions with degree N = 1−4, possessing spherical, axial, tetrahedral and cubic symmetry. For all these sphalerons two branches of solutions exist, which b...
متن کاملExcited Platonic Sphalerons in the Presence of a Dilaton Field
We construct sphaleron solutions with discrete symmetries in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to a dilaton. These platonic sphalerons are related to rational maps of degree N . We demonstrate that, in the presence of a dilaton, for a given rational map excited platonic sphalerons exist beside the fundamental platonic sphalerons. We focus on platonic sphaleron solutions with N = 4, which possess ...
متن کاملTwo-Higgs Doublet Model from Quasilocal Quark Interactions
Quark models with four-fermion interaction including derivatives of fields in the strong coupling regime are used to implement composite-Higgs extensions of the Standard Model. In this approach the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry occurs in two (or more) channels (near polycritical values for coupling constants), giving rise to two (or more) composite Higgs doublets. Two types of models ar...
