A Natural Hierarchy and a low New Physics scale from a Bulk Higgs
Luca Vecchi
We show that a bulk Higgs with a mass saturating the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound can naturally generate and stabilize an exponential hierarchy on a nearly AdS background. The phys…
Technicolor at Criticality
Luca Vecchi
We propose an asymptotically non-free, natural model for dynamical electro-weak symmetry breaking characterized by the emergence of a weakly coupled Higgs in the IR regime. Due to…
Multitrace deformations, Gamow states, and Stability of AdS/CFT
Luca Vecchi
We analyze the effect of multitrace deformations in conformal field theories at leading order in a large N approximation. These theories admit a description in terms of a weakly co…
The Conformal Window of deformed CFT's in the planar limit
Luca Vecchi
We discuss in the planar approximation the effect of double-trace deformations on CFT's. We show that this large class of models posses a conformal window describing a non-trivial…
Phenomenology of a light scalar: the dilaton
Luca Vecchi
We make use of the language of non-linear realizations to analyze electro-weak symmetry breaking scenarios in which a light dilaton emerges from the breaking of a nearly conformal…
