Description

I will critically introduce, classify and discuss the fundamental open issues related to either composite or elementary Higgs extensions of the standard model. As for the progress I will exhibit, among other things, our first proof of existence of nonsupersymmetric Gauge-Yukawa theories (structurally identical to the standard model) which are UV finite thanks to the existence of an exact calculable quantum UV fixed point. I will then comment on the possible phenomenological impact of this discovery
