Standard Model—axion—seesaw—Higgs portal inflation. Five problems of particle physics and cosmology solved in one stroke
- G. Ballesteros, J. Redondo, A. Ringwald, C. Tamarit
- Physics
- 5 October 2016
We present a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) providing a consistent picture of particle physics from the electroweak scale to the Planck scale and of cosmology from inflation until…
Gravitational waves as a big bang thermometer

There is a guaranteed background of stochastic gravitational waves produced in the thermal plasma in the early universe. Its energy density per logarithmic frequency interval scales with the maximum…
Running couplings with a vanishing scale anomaly
- C. Tamarit
- Physics
- 4 September 2013
A bstractRunning couplings can be understood as arising from the spontaneous breaking of an exact scale invariance in appropriate effective theories with no dilatation anomaly. Any ordinary quantum…
Axion predictions in SO(10) × U(1)PQ models

- 15 January 2018
A bstractNon-supersymmetric Grand Unified SO(10) × U(1)PQ models have all the ingredients to solve several fundamental problems of particle physics and cosmology — neutrino masses and mixing,…
The noncommutative U(1) Higgs-Kibble model in the enveloping-algebra formalism and its renormalizability
- C. Martin, D. Sanchez-Ruiz, C. Tamarit
- Physics
- 18 December 2006
We discuss the renormalizability of the noncommutative U(1) Higgs-Kibble model formulated within the enveloping-algebra approach. We consider both the phase of the model with unbroken gauge symmetry…
Electroweak Baryogenesis from Exotic Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
- N. Blinov, J. Kozaczuk, D. Morrissey, C. Tamarit
- Physics
- 20 April 2015
We investigate scenarios in which electroweak baryogenesis can occur during an exotic stage of electroweak symmetry breaking in the early Universe. This transition is driven by the expectation value…
Convexity, gauge-dependence and tunneling rates
- A. D. Plascencia, C. Tamarit
- Physics
- 26 October 2015
A bstractWe clarify issues of convexity, gauge-dependence and radiative corrections in relation to tunneling rates. Despite the gauge dependence of the effective action at zero and finite…
The Seiberg-Witten map and supersymmetry
- C. Martin, C. Tamarit
- Mathematics
- 16 September 2008
The lack of any local solution to the first-order-in-h?mn Seiberg-Witten (SW) map equations for U(1) vector superfields compels us to obtain the most general solution to those equations that is a…
Unifying Inflation with the Axion, Dark Matter, Baryogenesis, and the Seesaw Mechanism.
- G. Ballesteros, J. Redondo, A. Ringwald, C. Tamarit
- PhysicsPhysical Review Letters
- 18 August 2016
A minimal extension of the standard model (SM) with a single new mass scale and providing a complete and consistent picture of particle physics and cosmology up to the Planck scale is presented. We…
Sphalerons in composite and nonstandard Higgs models
- M. Spannowsky, C. Tamarit
- Physics
- 16 November 2016
After the discovery of the Higgs boson and the rather precise measurement of all electroweak boson’s masses the local structure of the electroweak symmetry breaking potential is already quite well…
