The Higgs potential of 2HDM keeps its generic form under the group of transformation GL(2,C), which is larger than the usually considered reparametrization group U(2). This reparametrization symmetry induces the Minkowski space structure in the orbit space of 2HDM. Exploiting this property, we present a geometric analysis of the number and properties of stationary points of the most general 2HDM potential. In particular, we prove that charge-breaking and neutral vacua never coexist in 2HDM and establish conditions when the most general explicitly CP-conserving Higgs potential has spontaneously CP-violating minima. Our analysis avoids manipulation with high-order algebraic equations.

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In the inverted Type-I 2HDM, one-step and two-step strong first-order electroweak phase transitions live in largely separate parameter regions, and LISA-detectable gravitational wave signals come predominantly from th...

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Type-II two-Higgs-doublet model, once next-to-leading-order unitarity, perturbativity and current data are imposed, the electroweak vacuum remains the global minimum among neutral vacua at tree level and one lo...

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Normal 2HDM, SFOEWPTs are single-step and alignment-favoring across all four Yukawa types, yet Parwani versus Arnold–Espinosa resummation changes the viable heavy-mass range from ~1.6 TeV to ≲800 GeV and leaves...

  4. Renormalisation Group Invariants from Scaling and Non-overlapping Symmetries

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scaling and non-overlapping global symmetries produce RGIs for bilinear operators to all loops via scale-invariant field directions, demonstrated in non-SUSY models including the 2HDM.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The full multigraded Hilbert series of the 3HDM is computed in closed form, and a basis of SU(3)-invariant operators is constructed up to cubic order in the quartic couplings.

    A systematic catalogue of realisable Higgs-family, general-CP, and GOOFy/T-GOOFy symmetries in three-Higgs-doublet models, with new invariant potentials and a corrected U(1)◦V4 group structure.

  7. Novel probes for electron-muon flavor violation from exotic Higgs decays

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Novel multilepton signatures from Higgs decays to a light pseudoscalar decaying to e-mu pairs in type-III 2HDM can set stronger limits on LFV couplings than low-energy experiments.

  8. Vacuum Instability and False Vacuum Decay Induced by Domain Walls in the N2HDM

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Domain walls in the N2HDM can erase the barrier around the electroweak vacuum, making long-lived metastable vacua decay classically and excluding parameter points previously considered viable.

    In general 2HDM potentials with two local minima, all scalar masses remain bounded under perturbativity constraints on the quartic couplings.
