Probing standard-model Higgs substructures using tops and weak gauge bosons
Axel Maas, Simon Fernbach, Lukas Lechner +3
Manifest gauge-invariance requires that observable states in the standard-model are described by composite operators, which involve additional Higgs contributions beyond perturbati…
Exploring the Tan contact term in Yang-Mills theory
Ouraman Hajizadeh, Markus Q. Huber, Axel Maas +1
Reliably computing the free energy in a gauge theory like QCD is a challenging and resource-demanding endeavor. As an alternative, we explore here the possibility to obtain the ass…
The Fröhlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism and quantum gravity
Axel Maas
Taking manifest invariance under both gauge symmetry and diffeomorphisms as a guiding principle physical objects are constructed for Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to quantum grav…
Constraining the gauge-fixed Lagrangian in minimal Landau gauge
Axel Maas
A continuum formulation of gauge-fixing resolving the Gribov-Singer ambiguity remains a challenge. Finding a Lagrangian formulation of operational resolutions in numerical lattice…
Toward the spectrum of the SU(2) adjoint Higgs model
Vincenzo Afferrante, Axel Maas, Pascal Törek
Scalar particles in the adjoint representation of a non-Abelian gauge theory play an important role in many scenarios beyond the standard model, especially of GUT type. For such th…
The quenched SU(2) scalar-gluon vertex in minimal Landau gauge
Axel Maas
The question of whether confining effects are visible in correlation functions is a long-standing one. Complementing investigations on the propagators of fundamental and adjoint sc…
