Complete High Temperature Expansions for One-Loop Finite Temperature Effects
We develop exact, simple closed form expressions for partition functions
associated with relativistic bosons and fermions in odd spatial dimensions.
These expressions, valid at high temperature, include the effects of a
non-trivial Polyakov loop and generalize well-known high temperature
expansions. The key technical point is the proof of a set of Bessel function
identities which resum low temperature expansions into high temperature
expansions. The complete expressions for these partition functions can be used
to obtain one-loop finite temperature contributions to effective potentials,
and thus free energies and pressures.Comment: 9 pages, RevTeX, no figures. To be published in Phys. Rev D. v2 has

One-loop Effective Potential for a Fixed Charged Self-interacting Bosonic Model at Finite Temperature with its Related Multiplicative Anomaly
The one-loop partition function for a charged self-interacting Bose gas at
finite temperature in D-dimensional spacetime is evaluated within a path
integral approach making use of zeta-function regularization. For D even, a new
additional vacuum term ---overlooked in all previous treatments and coming from
the multiplicative anomaly related to functional determinants-- is found and
its dependence on the mass and chemical potential is obtained. The presence of
the new term is shown to be crucial for having the factorization invariance of
the regularized partition function. In the non interacting case, the
relativistic Bose-Einstein condensation is revisited. By means of a suitable
charge renormalization, for D=4 the symmetry breaking phase is shown to be
unaffected by the new term, which, however, gives actually rise to a non
vanishing new contribution in the unbroken phase.Comment: 25 pages, RevTex, a new Section and several explanations added

Two-Higgs doublet models from TeV-scale supersymmetric extra U(1) models
We investigate the reduction of a general TeV-scale supersymmetric extra U(1)
model to a 2HDM below the TeV- scale through the tree level non-decoupling.
Portions of the parameter space of the extra U(1) model appropriate for
obtaining a 2HDM are identified. Various properties of the resulting 2HDM are
connected to the parameter space of the underlying model. PACS: 12.60.Jv,

Charged Higgs boson contribution to for very large in the two Higgs doublet model with UHE-neutrinos
We study the deep inelastic process
(with an isoscalar nucleon), in the context of the
two Higgs doublet model {\it type two} (2HDM(II)). In particular, we discuss
the contribution to the total cross section of diagrams, in which a charged
Higgs boson is exchanged. We show that for large values of such
contribution for an inclusive dispersion generated through the collision of an
ultrahigh energy tau-neutrino on a target nucleon can reach up to 57% of the
value of the contribution of the exchange diagrams (i.e. can reach up to
57% of the standard model (SM) prediction) and could permit to distinguish
between the SM and the 2HDM(II) predictions at the Pierre Auger Observatory.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Radiative Corrections to the Vertex and Constraints on Extended Higgs Sectors
We explore the radiative corrections to the process in
models with extended Higgs sectors. The observables and the coupling asymmetry, , are sensitive to these corrections. We
present general formulae for the one-loop corrections to and in an
arbitrary extended Higgs sector, and derive explicit results for a number of
specific models. We find that in models containing only doublets, singlets, or
larger multiplets constrained by a custodial symmetry so that at tree level, the one-loop corrections due to virtual
charged Higgs bosons always worsen agreement with experiment. The
measurement can be used to set lower bounds on the charged Higgs masses.
Constraints on models due to the one-loop contributions of neutral Higgs bosons
are also examined.Comment: 54 pages, 11 figure
