In the most general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM), unitary transformations between the two Higgs fields do not change the functional form of the Lagrangian. All physical observables of the model must therefore be independent of such transformations (i.e., independent of the Lagrangian basis choice for the Higgs fields). We exhibit a set of basis-independent quantities that determine all tree-level Higgs couplings and masses. Some examples of the basis-independent treatment of 2HDM discrete symmetries are presented. We also note that the ratio of the neutral Higgs field vacuum expectation values, tan(beta), is not a meaningful parameter in general, as it is basis-dependent. Implications for the more specialized 2HDMs (e.g., the Higgs sector of the MSSM and the so-called Type-I and Type-II 2HDMs) are explored.

    Boosted light scalars decaying to b b-bar in Type-I 2HDM can be tagged as double-b fat-jets and used with SM gauge bosons to probe heavy scalars up to 540 GeV at the HL-LHC for masses 30-70 GeV.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A spurion-field formalism uses scaling and non-overlapping symmetries to construct RGIs for bilinear operators in scalar potentials to all loops, demonstrated in non-SUSY models and the 2HDM.

    New fermion transformations and all-order renormalization-invariant parameter regions are identified for two-Higgs-doublet models including scalar-fermion interactions.

  7. Intrinsic Properties of Large CP Violation in the Complex Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Global scans of complex 2HDM show Type-I models maximize gauge CPV near light-Higgs degeneracy with high eEDM, Type-II suppress gauge CPV but permit large Yukawa CPV and low eEDM via cancellations, plus hidden CPV in ...

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The r0 symmetry is preserved at one-loop in the r0-invariant two-Higgs Doublet Model if the UV cutoff squared transforms non-trivially under r0; the minimal model requires two real fields.
