Light composite Higgs boson from the normalized Bethe-Salpeter equation
Scalar composite boson masses have been computed in QCD and Technicolor
theories with the help of the homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE),
resulting in a scalar mass that is twice the dynamically generated fermion or
technifermion mass (). We show that in the case of walking (or
quasi-conformal) technicolor theories, where the behavior with the
momenta may be quite different from the one predicted by the standard operator
product expansion, this result is incomplete and we must consider the effect of
the normalization condition of the BSE to determine the scalar masses. We
compute the composite Higgs boson mass for several groups with technifermions
in the fundamental and higher dimensional representations and comment about the
experimental constraints on these theories, which indicate that models based on
walking theories with fermions in the fundamental representation may, within
the limitations of our approach, have masses quite near the actual direct
exclusion limit.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, minor corrections, to appear in Physical Review
Spontaneous CP violation in the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos
We implement the mechanism of spontaneous CP violation in the 3-3-1 model
with right-handed neutrinos and recognize their sources of CP violation. Our
main result is that the mechanism works already in the minimal version of the
model and new sources of CP violation emerges as an effect of new physics at
energies higher than the electroweak scale.Comment: Major changes in the quark sector, electronic dipole moment of the

Neutrino Mixing and the Minimal 3-3-1 Model
In the minimal 3-3-1 model charged leptons come in a non-diagonal basis.
Moreover the Yukawa interactions of the model lead to a non-hermitian charged
lepton mass matrix. In other words, the minimal 3-3-1 model presents a very
complex lepton mixing. In view of this we check rigorously if the possible
textures of the lepton mass matrices allowed by the minimal 3-3-1 model can
lead or not to the neutrino mixing required by the recent experiments in
neutrino oscillation.Comment: two references add, minor chages, accepted for publication in MPL
