Phase Diagram of Gross-Neveu Model at Finite Temperature, Density and Constant Curvature
We discuss a phase structure of chiral symmetry breaking in the Gross-Neveu
model at finite temperature, density and constant curvature. The effective
potential is evaluated in the leading order of the -expansion and in a
weak curvature approximation. The third order critical line is found on the
critical surface in the parameter space of temperature, chemical potential and
constant curvature.Comment: 11 pages, Latex. 3 figures (eps files
Large Solar Neutrino Mixing in an Extended Zee Model
The Zee model, which employs the standard Higgs scalar () with its
duplicate () and a singly charged scalar (), can utilize two
global symmetries associated with the conservation of the numbers of and
, , where coincides
with the hypercharge while () is a new
conserved charge, which is identical to for the left-handed
leptons. Charged leptons turn out to have - and - mixing
masses, which are found to be crucial for the large solar neutrino mixing. In
an extended version of the Zee model with an extra triplet Higgs scalar (s),
neutrino oscillations are described by three steps: 1) the maximal atmospheric
mixing is induced by democratic mass terms supplied by with =2 that can
initiate the type II seesaw mechanism for the smallness of these masses; 2) the
maximal solar neutrino mixing is triggered by the creation of radiative masses
by with = 0; 3) the large solar neutrino mixing is finally induced by
a - mixing arising from the rotation of the radiative mass
terms as a result of the diagonalization that converts - and -
mixing masses into the electron mass.Comment: RevTex, 10 pages including one figure page, to be published in Int.

Bi-maximal mixing at GUT, the low energy data and the leptogenesis
In the framework of the minimum supersymmetric model with right-handed
neutrinos, we consider the Bi-maximal mixing which is realized at the GUT scale
and discuss a question that this model can reproduce the low energy phenomena
and the leptogenesis.Comment: Talk given by E. Takasugi at NuFact04, Osaka, Japan, July 26 - August

Enhancement of Loop Induced Vertex in Two Higgs-doublet Model
The non-decoupling effects of heavy Higgs bosons as well as fermions on the
loop-induced vertex are discussed in the general two Higgs
doublet model. The decay width of the process is calculated
at one-loop level and the possibility of its enhancement is explored both
analytically and numerically. We find that the novel enhancement of the decay
width can be realized by the Higgs non-decoupling effects with large
mass-splitting between the charged Higgs boson and the CP-odd one. This is due
to the large breakdown of the custodial invariance in the Higgs
sector. The branching ratio can amount to for GeV within the constraint from the present experimental data. Hence this
mode may be detectable at LHC or future linear colliders.Comment: 31+1 pages, Latex with 8 eps-file
Phenomenology of Higgs bosons in the Zee-Model
To generate small neutrino masses radiatively, the Zee-model introduces two
Higgs doublets and one weak-singlet charged Higgs boson to its Higgs sector.
From analyzing the renormalization group equations, we determine the
possibile range of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson () mass and the Higgs
boson self-couplings as a function of the cut-off scale beyond which either
some of the coupling constants are strong enough to invalidate the perturbative
analysis or the stability of the electroweak vacuum is no longer guaranteed.
Using the results obtained from the above analysis, we find that the singlet
charged Higgs boson can significantly modify the partial decay width of via radiative corrections, and its collider phenomenology can
also be drastically different from that of the charged Higgs bosons in the
usual two-Higgs-doublet models.Comment: Added a paragraph and a figure in Section V, corrected typos, added

Higgs coupling constants as a probe of new physics
We study new physics effects on the couplings of weak gauge bosons with the
lightest CP-even Higgs boson (), , and the tri-linear coupling of the
lightest Higgs boson, , at the one loop order, as predicted by the two
Higgs doublet model. Those renormalized coupling constants can deviate from the
Standard Model (SM) predictions due to two distinct origins; the tree level
mixing effect of Higgs bosons and the quantum effect of additional particles in
loop diagrams. The latter can be enhanced in the renormalized coupling
constant when the additional particles show the non-decoupling property.
Therefore, even in the case where the coupling is close to the SM value,
deviation in the coupling from the SM value can become as large as plus
100 percent, while that in the coupling is at most minus 1 percent level.
Such large quantum effect on the Higgs tri-linear coupling is distinguishable
from the tree level mixing effect, and is expected to be detectable at a future
linear collider.Comment: 52 pages, 10 figures, revtex
Constraining parameter space in type-II two-Higgs doublet model in light of a 126 GeV Higgs boson
We explore the implications of a 126 GeV Higgs boson indicated by the recent
LHC results for two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM). Identifying the 126 GeV Higgs
boson as either the lighter or heavier of CP even neutral Higgs bosons in 2HDM,
we examine how the masses of Higgs fields and mixing parameters can be
constrained by the theoretical conditions and experimental constraints. The
theoretical conditions taken into account are the vacuum stability,
perturbativity and unitarity required to be satisfied up to a cut-off scale. We
also show how bounds on the masses of Higgs bosons and mixing parameters depend
on the cut-off scale. In addition, we investigate whether the allowed regions
of parameter space can accommodate particularly the enhanced di-photon signals,
ZZ* and WW* decay modes of the Higgs boson, and examine the prediction of the
signal strength of Z{\gamma} decay mode for the allowed regions of the
parameter space.Comment: To be published in JHEP, 20 pages, 11 figures, Figures and results

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Planar QED
We investigate (2+1)-dimensional QED coupled with Dirac fermions both at zero
and finite temperature. We discuss in details two-components (P-odd) and
four-components (P-even) fermion fields. We focus on P-odd and P-even Dirac
fermions in presence of an external constant magnetic field. In the spontaneous
generation of the magnetic condensate survives even at infinite temperature. We
also discuss the spontaneous generation of fermion mass in presence of an
external magnetic field.Comment: 34 pages, 8 postscript figures, final version to appear on J. Phys.
