Symmetry breaking in quantum theory (81R40) Renormalization group methods applied to problems in quantum field theory (81T17)

Abstract: We investigate the effects of a

Z_{2}

symmetry in the CP-conserving Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model (2HDM); which is often imposed to prevent Flavor-Changing-Neutral-Currents (FCNCs) at tree-level. Specifically, we analyze how a breaking of the

Z_{2}

symmetry spreads during renormalization group evolution; employing general 2-loop renormalization group equations that we have derived. Evolving the model from the electroweak to the Planck scale, we find that while the case of an exact

Z_{2}

symmetric 2HDM is very constrained, a soft breaking of the

Z_{2}

symmetry extends the valid parameter space regions. The effects of a hard

Z_{2}

breaking in the scalar sector as well as the stability of the flavor alignment ansatz are also investigated. We find that while a hard breaking of the

Z_{2}

symmetry in the potential is problematic, since it speeds up the growth of quartic couplings, the generated FCNCs are heavily suppressed. Conversely, we also find that hard

Z_{2}

breaking in the Yukawa sector at most gives moderate

Z_{2}

breaking in the potential; whereas the FCNCs can become quite sizable far away from the

Z_{2}

symmetric regions.
