Dressing preserving the fundamental group
In this note we consider the relationship between the dressing action and the
holonomy representation in the context of constant mean curvature surfaces. We
characterize dressing elements that preserve the topology of a surface and
discuss dressing by simple factors as a means of adding bubbles to a class of
non finite type cylinders.Comment: 36 pages, 1 figur
Delaunay Ends of Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces
The generalized Weierstrass representation is used to analyze the asymptotic
behavior of a constant mean curvature surface that arises locally from an
ordinary differential equation with a regular singularity.
We prove that a holomorphic perturbation of an ODE that represents a Delaunay
surface generates a constant mean curvature surface which has a properly
immersed end that is asymptotically Delaunay. Furthermore, that end is embedded
if the Delaunay surface is unduloidal
Simplified Models for New Physics in Vector Boson Scattering - Input for Snowmass 2013
In this contribution to the Snowmass process 2013 (which is a preliminary
version of [1]) we give a brief review of how new physics could enter in the
electroweak (EW) sector of the Standard Model (SM). This new physics, if it is
directly accessible at low energies, can be parameterized by explicit
resonances having certain quantum numbers. The extreme case is the decoupling
limit where those resonances are very heavy and leave only traces in the form
of deviations in the SM couplings. Translations are given into
higher-dimensional operators leading to such deviations. As long as such
resonances are introduced without a UV-complete theory behind it, these models
suffer from unitarity violation of perturbative scattering amplitudes. We show
explicitly how theoretically sane descriptions could be achieved by using a
unitarization prescription that allows a correct description of such a
resonance without specifying a UV-complete model.Comment: A Snowmass White Paper, minor typos, one formula update
The Reconstruction of Trilinear Higgs Couplings
To establish the Higgs mechanism {\it sui generis} experimentally, the Higgs
self-interaction potential must be reconstructed. This task requires the
measurement of the trilinear and quadrilinear self-couplings, as predicted in
the Standard Model or in supersymmetric theories. The couplings can be probed
in multiple Higgs production at high-luminosity e+e- linear colliders. We
present the theoretical analysis for the production of neutral Higgs-boson
pairs in the relevant channels of double Higgs-strahlung and associated
multiple Higgs production.Comment: 20 pages, Proceedings, "Physics with a High-Luminosity e+e- Linear

Production of Neutral Higgs-Boson Pairs at LHC
The reconstruction of the Higgs potential in the Standard Model or
supersymmetric theories demands the measurement of the trilinear Higgs
couplings. These couplings affect the multiple production of Higgs bosons at
high energy colliders. We present a systematic overview of the cross sections
for the production of pairs of (light) neutral Higgs bosons at the LHC. The
analysis is carried out for the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric
extension.Comment: Latex, 11 pages, uses feynmp.sty [included]. The complete paper,

Testing Higgs Self-couplings at e^+e^- Linear Colliders
To establish the Higgs mechanism sui generis experimentally, the self-energy
potential of the Higgs field must be reconstructed. This task requires the
measurement of the trilinear and quadrilinear self-couplings, as predicted, for
instance, in the Standard Model or in supersymmetric theories. The couplings
can be probed in multiple Higgs production at high-luminosity e^+e^- linear
colliders. Complementing earlier studies to develop a coherent picture of the
trilinear couplings, we have analyzed the production of pairs of neutral Higgs
bosons in all relevant channels of double Higgs-strahlung, associated multiple
Higgs production and WW/ZZ fusion to Higgs pairs.Comment: The complete paper, including figures, is also available via
