The idea to have Higgs doublets as pseudo Nambu-Goldstone (PsNG) multiplet is examined in the framework of supersymmetric E_6 unified theory. We show that extra PsNG multiplets other than the expected Higgs doublets necessarily appear in the E_6 case. If we demand that the extra PsNG multiplets neither disturb the gauge coupling unification nor make the color gauge coupling diverge before unification occurs, only possibility for the extra PsNG is 10+bar{10} of SU(5). This is realized when the symmetry breaking E_6 to SO(10) occurs in the phi(27)+phi(bar{27}) sector while E_6 to SU(4)_Ctimes SU(2)_Ltimes U(1)times U(1) in the Sigma(78) sector. The existence of 10+bar{10} multiplets with mass around 1 TeV is therefore a prediction of this E_6 PsNG scenario. Implication of their existence on the proton decay is also discussed.

Motivated by recent constructions of TeV-scale strongly-coupled dynamics, either associated with the Higgs sector itself as in pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) Higgs models or in theories of asymmetric dark matter, we show that stable solitonic Q- balls can be formed from light pion-like pNGB fields carrying a conserved global quantum number in the presence of the Higgs field. We focus on the case of thick-wall Q-balls, where solutions satisfying all constraints are shown to exist over a range of parameter values. In the limit that our approximations hold, the Q-balls are weakly bound and parametrically large, and the form of the interactions of the light physical Higgs with the Q-ball is determined by the breaking of scale symmetry.
We investigate the potential stochastic gravitational waves from first-order electroweak phase transitions in a model with pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone dark matter and two Higgs doublets. The dark matter candidate can naturally evade direct detection bounds, and can achieve the observed relic abundance via the thermal mechanism. Three scalar fields in the model obtain vacuum expectation values, related to phase transitions at the early Universe. We search for the parameter points that can cause first-order phase transitions, taking into account the existed experimental constraints. The resulting gravitational wave spectra are further evaluated. Some parameter points are found to induce strong gravitational wave signals, which have the opportunity to be detected in future space-based interferometer experiments LISA, Taiji, and TianQin.
If the Higgs boson is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (PNGB), the $hZgamma$ contact interaction induced by the $mathcal{O}(p^4)$ invariants of the non-linear sigma model is free from its nonlinearity effects. The process $hrightarrow Zgamma$ can be used to eliminate the universal effects of heavy particles, which can fake the nonlinearity effects of the PNGB Higgs boson in the process $hrightarrow V^*V$ ($V=W^pm$, $Z$). We demonstrate that the ratio of the signal strength of $hrightarrow Zgamma$ and $hrightarrow V^*V$ is good to distinguish the signature of the PNGB Higgs boson from Higgs coupling deviations.
A pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) is an attractive candidate for dark matter (DM) due to the simple evasion of the current severe limits of DM direct detection experiments. One of the pNGB DM models has been proposed based on a {it gauged} $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry. The pNGB has long enough lifetime to be a DM and thermal relic abundance of pNGB DM can be fit with the observed value against the constraints on the DM decays from the cosmic-ray observations. The pNGB DM model can be embedded into an $SO(10)$ pNGB DM model in the framework of an $SO(10)$ grand unified theory, whose $SO(10)$ is broken to the Pati-Salam gauge group at the unified scale, and further to the Standard Model gauge group at the intermediate scale. Unlike the previous pNGB DM model, the parameters such as the gauge coupling constants of $U(1)_{B-L}$, the kinetic mixing parameter of between $U(1)_Y$ and $U(1)_{B-L}$ are determined by solving the renormalization group equations for gauge coupling constants with appropriate matching conditions. From the constraints of the DM lifetime and gamma-ray observations, the pNGB DM mass must be less than $mathcal{O}(100)$$,$GeV. We find that the thermal relic abundance can be consistent with all the constraints when the DM mass is close to half of the CP even Higg masses.
We consider chiral perturbation theory in a finite volume and in a mixed regime of quark masses. We take N_l light quarks near the chiral limit, in the so-called epsilon-regime, while the remaining N_h quarks are heavier and in the standard p-regime. We compute in this new mixed regime the finite-size scaling of the light meson correlators in the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial vector channels.Using the replica method, we easily extend our results to the partially quenched theory. With the help of our results, lattice QCD simulations with 2+1 flavors can safely investigate pion physics with very light up and down quark masses even in the region where the pions correlation length overcomes the size of the space-time lattice.
