Journal Club: On the many natures of the Higgs - From Composite Higgs Dynamics to the Standard Model as Magnetic Theory

Speaker: Francesco Sannino, Professor 
Abstract: I will first provide a mathematical classification of the various extensions of the Standard Model according to their degree of naturality.

I will then argue in favour of the existence of a dual description of the Standard Model in terms of “electric” variables, an idea inspired by Dirac electromagnetic-duality idea and the work by Seiberg for gauge-gauge duality in supersymmetric QFTs.

I will finally introduce a toy  Standard Model to elucidate the crucial aspects about duality which, as I will show, can provide elegant solutions to outstanding problems such as why we have three generations and why the Standard Model could be a natural theory in plain sight.
