On the production of a composite Higgs boson
Ian Low, Alessandro Vichi
We present a prescription for computing the gluon fusion production rate of a composite Higgs boson, which arises as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson, using effective lagrangians. Th…
Bounds in 4D Conformal Field Theories with Global Symmetry
Riccardo Rattazzi, Slava Rychkov, Alessandro Vichi
We explore the constraining power of OPE associativity in 4D Conformal Field Theory with a continuous global symmetry group. We give a general analysis of crossing symmetry constra…
Central Charge Bounds in 4D Conformal Field Theory
Riccardo Rattazzi, Slava Rychkov, Alessandro Vichi
We derive model-independent lower bounds on the stress tensor central charge C_T in terms of the operator content of a 4-dimensional Conformal Field Theory. More precisely, C_T is…
T-parity, its problems and their solution
Duccio Pappadopulo, Alessandro Vichi
We point out a basic difficulty in the construction of little-Higgs models with T-parity which is overlooked by large part of the present literature. Almost all models proposed so…
