Renormalisation Group Invariants from Scaling and Non-overlapping Symmetries

Abstract

We show how the synergy of scaling and non-overlapping global symmetries can lead to Renormalisation Group Invariants (RGIs) among the parameters of potentials with multiple scalars. The instrumental role of scale-invariant field directions in the identification and construction of RGIs for bilinear field operators to all loops is demonstrated. We present a few illustrative examples to showcase our constructive spurion-field approach, which is applied to simple non-supersymmetric models as well as to scenarios reported recently in the literature that include the two-Higgs doublet model. The problematic issues of RGIs to address the gauge-hierarchy problem beyond supersymmetry are discussed.
