Newton versus Coulomb for Kaluza-Klein modes
Karim Benakli, Carlo Branchina, Gaëtan Lafforgue-Marmet
We consider a set of elementary compactifications of to spacetime dimensions on a circle: first for pure general relativity, then in the presence of a scalar field, first…
Dilatonic (Anti-)de Sitter Black Holes and Weak Gravity Conjecture
Karim Benakli, Carlo Branchina, Gaëtan Lafforgue-Marmet
Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory with non-trivial dilaton potential is known to admit asymptotically flat and (Anti-)de Sitter charged black hole solutions. We investigate the condi…
U(1) mixing and the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Karim Benakli, Carlo Branchina, Gaëtan Lafforgue-Marmet
Tiny values for gauge couplings of dark photons allow to suppress their kinetic mixing with ordinary photons. We point out that the Weak Gravity Conjecture predicts consequently lo…
Revisiting the Scalar Weak Gravity Conjecture
Karim Benakli, Carlo Branchina, Gaëtan Lafforgue-Marmet
We revisit the Scalar Weak Gravity Conjecture and investigate the possibility to impose that scalar interactions dominate over gravitational ones. More precisely, we look for conse…
An Emergent Higgs Alignment
Karim Benakli, Yifan Chen, Gaëtan Lafforgue-Marmet
We explain how an R-symmetry allows alignment of the vacuum expectation value and the mass eigenstates in the Higgs bosons squared-mass matrix. More important, we discuss…
Predicting Alignment in a Two Higgs Doublet Model
Karim Benakli, Yifan Chen, Gaëtan Lafforgue-Marmet
We show that a non-abelian global acting on the quartic part of the two Higgs Doublet Model leads, at tree-level, to an automatic alignment without decoupling. An example…
R-symmetry for Higgs alignment without decoupling
Karim Benakli, Yifan Chen, Gaëtan Lafforgue-Marmet
It has been observed that an automatic alignment without decoupling is predicted at tree-level in a Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) with extended supersymmetry in the gauge and Higg…
