Lepton flavor violating Higgs boson decays in seesaw models: new discussions
The lepton flavor violating decay of the Standard Model-like Higgs boson
(LFVHD), h->\mu\tau, is discussed in seesaw models at the one-loop level. Based
on particular analytic expressions of Passarino-Veltman functions, the two
unitary and 't Hooft Feynman gauges are used to compute the branching ratio of
LFVHD and compare with results reported recently. In the minimal seesaw (MSS)
model, the branching ratio was investigated in the whole valid range
10^{-9}-10^{15} GeV of new neutrino mass scale m_{n_6}. Using the Casas-Ibarra
parameterization, this branching ratio enhances with large and increasing
m_{n_6}. But the maximal value can reach only order of 10^{-11}. Interesting
relations of LFVHD predicted by the MSS and inverse seesaw (ISS) model are
discussed. The ratio between two LFVHD branching ratios predicted by the ISS
and MSS is simply m^2_{n_6}\mu^{-2}_X, where \mu_X is the small neutrino mass
scale in the ISS. The consistence between different calculations is shown
precisely from analytical approach.Comment: 4 figures, 26 pages, some analytic formulas and statements are

Question of Peccei-Quinn symmetry and quark masses in the economical 3-3-1 model
We show that there is an infinite number of U(1) symmetries like Peccei-Quinn
symmetry in the 3-3-1 model with minimal scalar sector---two scalar triplets.
Moreover, all of them are completely broken due to the model's scalars by
themselves (notice that these scalars as known have been often used to break
the gauge symmetry and generating the masses for the model's particles). There
is no any residual Peccei-Quinn symmetry. Because of the minimal scalar content
there are some quarks that are massless at tree-level, but they can get
consistent mass contributions at one-loop due to this fact. Interestingly,
axions as associated with the mentioned U(1)s breaking (including Majoron due
to lepton-charge breaking) are all gauged away because they are also the
Goldstone bosons responsible for the gauge symmetry breaking as usual.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figures, revised version, to appear in Physical Review
Large signal of within the constraints of decays in the 3-3-1 model with neutral leptons
In the framework of the 3-3-1 model with neutral leptons, we have
investigated the lepton-flavor-violating sources based on the Higgs mass
spectrum which has two neutral Higgses identitied with corresponding ones in
the Two-Higgs-Doublet model (THDM). On the scale of the LHC,
we point out the parameter space regions where the experimental limits of decays are satisfied. These regions depend heavily on
the mixing of exotic leptons but are predicted to have large signals. We also show that
can reach a value of .Comment: 30 pages, 9 figure
