• #### CP violation in extended Higgs sectors ﻿

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-24)
We discuss how one can identify CP violation (and conservation) in multi-Higgs-doublet potentials. After a brief review of CP violation in the 2HDM, we refer to the fact that for NHDM with N ≥ 3 the well known methods ...
• #### CP Violation in the scalar sector ﻿

(Conference object; Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
Models with an extended scalar sector may in principle provide new sources of CP violation originating in the scalar potential. One of the simplest ways to implement this idea is to have CP violation in a two-Higgs-doublet ...
• #### Implications of symmetries in the scalar sector ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
Symmetries play a very important rôle in Particle Physics. In extended scalar sectors, the existence of symmetries may permit the models to comply with the experimental constraints in a natural way, and at the same time ...
• #### S3-inspired three-Higgs-doublet models: A class with a complex vacuum ﻿

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
In this paper we analyze in detail an S3-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet model with a specific vacuum configuration. This analysis allows us to illustrate important features of models with several Higgs doublets, such as the ...
• #### A simple method to detect spontaneous CP violation in multi-Higgs models ﻿

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08)
For models with several Higgs doublets we present an alternative method to the one proposed by Branco, Gerard and Grimus, in 1984, to check whether or not CP is spontaneously violated in the Higgs potential. The previous ...
• #### Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the S3-symmetric scalar sector ﻿

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)
We present a detailed study of the vacua of the S3-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet potential, specifying the region of parameters where these minimisation solutions occur. We work with a CP conserving scalar potential and ...
• #### Spontaneous symmetry breaking in three-Higgs-doublet $S_3$-symmetric models ﻿

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
The talk summarises work done by the authors consisting of a detailed study of the possible vacua in models with three Higgs doublets with $S_3$ symmetry and without explicit CP violation. Different vacua require special ...
• #### Symmetries and mass degeneracies in the scalar sector ﻿

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-04)
We explore some aspects of models with two and three SU(2) scalar doublets that lead to mass degeneracies among some of the physical scalars. In Higgs sectors with two scalar doublets, the exact degeneracy of scalar masses, ...
