The epsilon expansion meets semiclassics

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo, Gil Badel

We study the scaling dimension Delta(phi n) of the operator phi(n) where phi is the fundamental complex field of the U(1) model at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in d = 4 - epsilon. Even for a perturbatively small fixed point coupling lambda*, standard pert ...

Large field excursions and approximate discrete symmetries from a clockwork axion

Riccardo Rattazzi

We present a renormalizable theory of scalars in which the low-energy effective theory contains a pseudo-Goldstone boson with a compact field space of 2 pi F and an approximate discrete shift symmetry Z(Q) with Q >> 1, yet the number of fields in the theor ...

A first top partner hunter's guide

Riccardo Rattazzi, Andrea Wulzer, Andrea De Simone

We provide a systematic effective lagrangian description of the phenomenology of the lightest top-partners in composite Higgs models. Our construction is based on symmetry, on selection rules and on plausible dynamical assumptions. The structure of the res ...

Softening the UV without new particles

Riccardo Rattazzi

We explore an odd class of quantum field theories where a hierarchy problem is resolved with new dynamics as opposed to new particles. The essential element of our construction is a U(1) pseudo-NambuGoldstone boson with symmetry breaking interactions all c ...

The role of the pion in the lineshape of the X(3872)

Riccardo Rattazzi, Angelo Esposito, Alfredo Glioti

We determine the contribution of long-range pion interactions to the X(3872) dynamics, assuming it is a loosely bound D-0(D) over bar*(0) molecule. Our result is based on the distorted wave Born approximation in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Despite ...

The strongly-interacting light Higgs

Riccardo Rattazzi

We develop a simple description of models where electroweak symmetry breaking is triggered by a light composite Higgs, which emerges from a strongly-interacting sector as a pseudo-Gold stone boson. Two parameters broadly characterize these models: m(p), th ...

The alpha-theorem and the asymptotics of 4D quantum field theory

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study the possible IR and UV asymptotics of 4D Lorentz invariant unitary quantum field theory. Our main tool is a generalization of the Komargodski-Schwimmer proof for the alpha-theorem. We use this to rule out a large class of renormalization group flo ...

Energy's and amplitudes' positivity

Riccardo Rattazzi

In QFT, the null energy condition (NEC) for a classical field configuration is usually associated with that configuration's stability against small perturbations, and with the sub-luminality of these. Here, we exhibit an effective field theory that allows ...

Natural mu and B mu in gauge mediation

Riccardo Rattazzi

We propose a natural solution to the mu problem in gauge mediation. It relies on the logarithmic dependence of the effective Kahler potential on the messenger threshold superfield X. Thus, mu and B mu naturally arise at one and two loops, respectively. Mor ...

The local Callan-Symanzik equation: structure and applications

Riccardo Rattazzi, Lorenzo Vitale, Boaz Keren Zur

The local Callan-Symanzik equation describes the response of a quantum field theory to local scale transformations in the presence of background sources. The consistency conditions associated with this anomalous equation imply non-trivial relations among t ...

Gauge boson mass generation in AdS(4)

Riccardo Rattazzi

We investigate the role of boundary conditions in gauge theories in AdS(4). The presence of the boundary can break the gauge symmetry consistently with AdS(4) isometries. We show that, as a consequence, the gauge bosons associated to the broken symmetries ...

What is the gamma gamma resonance at 750 GeV?

Riccardo Rattazzi, Francesco Riva, Roberto Franceschini, Riccardo Torre

Run 2 LHC data show hints of a new resonance in the diphoton distribution at an invariant mass of 750 GeV. We analyse the data in terms of a new boson, extracting information on its properties and exploring theoretical interpretations. Scenarios covered in ...

The composite twin Higgs scenario

Riccardo Rattazzi, Andrea Wulzer, Davide Greco

Based on an explicit model, we propose and discuss the generic features of a possible implementation of the Twin Higgs program in the context of composite Higgs models. We find that the Twin Higgs quadratic divergence cancellation argument can be uplifted ...

Higgs Boson studies at future particle colliders

Riccardo Rattazzi

This document aims to provide an assessment of the potential of future colliding beam facilities to perform Higgs boson studies. The analysis builds on the submissions made by the proponents of future colliders to the European Strategy Update process, and ...

Unificaxion

Riccardo Rattazzi

Dark matter, gauge coupling unification, and the strong CP problem find a common and simple solution (in the absence of naturalness) within axion models. We show that such a solution, even without specifying the details of the model implementation, makes t ...

Bounds in 4D conformal field theories with global symmetry

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alessandro Vichi

We explore the constraining power of OPE associativity in 4D conformal field theory with a continuous global symmetry group. We give a general analysis of crossing symmetry constraints in the 4-point function , where phi is ...

Semiclassics, Goldstone bosons and CFT data

Fiona Katharina Seibold, Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, David Pirtskhalava

Hellerman et al. (arXiv:1505.01537) have shown that in a generic CFT the spectrum of operators carrying a large U(1) charge can be analyzed semiclassically in an expansion in inverse powers of the charge. The key is the operator state correspondence by whi ...

Operator product expansion convergence in conformal field theory

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo

We clarify questions related to the convergence of the operator product expansion and conformal block decomposition in unitary conformal field theories (for any number of spacetime dimensions). In particular, we explain why these expansions are convergent ...

Flux correlators and semiclassics

Eren Clément Firat, Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Matthew Thomas Walters

We consider correlators for the flux of energy and charge in the background of operators with large global U(1) charge in conformal field theory (CFT). It has recently been shown that the corresponding Euclidean correlators generically admit a semiclassica ...

The other natural two Higgs doublet model

Riccardo Rattazzi, Andrea Wulzer, Jan Dalibor Mrazek

We characterize models where electroweak symmetry breaking is driven by two light Higgs doublets arising as pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons of new dynamics above the weak scale. They represent the simplest natural two Higgs doublet alternative to supersymmet ...
