Gravitational waves have become an irreplaceable tool for exploring the
post-inflationary universe. Their cosmological and astrophysical origins have
been attracting numerous attention. In this Letter, we point out a novel source
of ultra-high frequency gravitational waves: the decay of particles produced
during the reheating era. We highlight the decay of the Higgs boson as a
representative case, showing how it yields a testable gravitational wave
spectrum by future observations.

We compute the density of a spin-$\frac32$ particle, the raritron, produced
at the end of inflation due to gravitational interactions. We consider a
background inflaton condensate as the source of this production, mediated by
the exchange of a graviton. This production greatly exceeds the gravitational
production from the emergent thermal bath during reheating. The relic abundance
limit sets an absolute minimum mass for a stable raritron, though there are
also model dependent constraints imposed by unitarity. We also examine the case
of gravitational production of a gravitino, taking into account the goldstino
evolution during reheating. We compare these results with conventional
gravitino production mechanisms.

The recently proposed formalism of extended Jordan-Brans-Dicke gravity makes
it possible to calculate energy loss rate due to both gravitational wave and
scalar field (giving the origin of dark energy) wave emission at merger of a
black hole and a neutron star; a binary system of no scalar hair and a star
with the scalar charge. The scalar field emission changes orbit parameters of
the binary system, thereby changes detectable gravitational wave emission. When
neutron stars carry significantly large scalar charge, significant dark wave
(namely, scalar field wave) emission occurs at the same time of gravitational
wave emission. It is found that solutions of coupled differential equations
predict non-vanishing remnant dark charge after the gravitational collapse.
This gives two interesting possibilities: (1) the no-hair conjecture of black
hole is violated, or (2) a bosonic cloud is formed outside the event horizon of
black hole. The bosonic cloud proposed in the literature is a gigantic atom
made of gravitationally bound dark energy quanta surrounding a black hole. One
can either constrain, or even determine, parameters of extended
Jordan-Brans-Dicke gravity from accumulated gravitational wave observations of
merging black hole and neutron star.

A coherent field over the entire universe is an attractive picture in
studying the dark sector of the universe. The misalignment mechanism, which
relies on inflation to achieve homogeneousness of the field, is a popular
mechanism for producing such a coherent dark matter. Nevertheless, unlike a
scalar field case, a vector boson field suffers because its energy density is
exponentially suppressed by the scale factor during the cosmic expansion. We
show that if the vector field gets a mass from a scalar field, whose value
increases by orders of magnitude, the suppression can be compensated, and the
misalignment can produce the coherent vector boson that has a sizable amount of
energy density in the present universe. Quintessence can be such a scalar
field.

Since electroweak symmetry is generally broken during inflation, the Standard
Model Higgs field can become supermassive even after the end of inflation. In
this paper, we study the non-thermal phase space distribution of the Higgs
field during reheating, focusing in particular on two different contributions:
primordial condensate and stochastic fluctuations. We obtain their analytic
formulae, which agree with the previous numerical result. As a possible
consequence of the non-thermal Higgs spectrum, we discuss perturbative Higgs
decay during reheating for the case it is kinematically allowed. We find that
the soft-relativistic and hard spectra are dominant in the decay rate of the
stochastic fluctuation and that the primordial condensate and stochastic
fluctuations decay almost at the same time.

Cosmological analysis of extended Jordan-Brans-Dicke (eJBD) gravity is
presented in the Einstein metric frame in which gravitational interaction is
readily understandable. Our formulation is the first systematic investigation
of how to introduce lagrangian of standard particle physics in eJBD framework
consistently with the general principle of spontaneously broken gauge symmetry,
which makes it possible to confront eJBD-based cosmology with observational and
laboratory bounds on time variation of parameters, masses, and coupling
constants, caused by time evolution of eJBD fields. Decomposition of standard
particle physics lagrangian into independent gauge invariant pieces is proposed
to avoid serious conflict that may arise from standard lagrangian transformed
from the Jordan frame. Independent conformal factors are assigned to each of
five gauge invariant pieces. The formulation is most unambiguously made
possible by defining fields having canonical kinetic terms that allow us to use
the canonical quantization rule of field theory. This construction gives as one
of its consequences the canonical eJBD field $\chi$ that couples to the
universal fermion current, a linear combination of baryon and lepton number
currents, $\partial_{\mu} \chi (\frac{1}{3} j_B^{\mu} + j_L^{\mu})$, in
addition to the conventional trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Field
equation of eJBD field along with gravitational equation is analyzed by using a
simplified polynomial class of potential and conformal functions, giving time
evolution of radiation, matter and dark energy densities consistent with
observations when an appropriate set of model parameters are used. Finite
temperature corrections are further calculated to give temperature dependent
terms in eJBD field potential.

We revisit the calculation of the electron, neutron, and proton electric
dipole moments (EDMs) in the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model
(CMSSM). The relatively large mass of the Higgs boson, $m_H \simeq 125$ GeV
coupled with the (as yet) lack of discovery of any supersymmetric particle at
the LHC, has pushed the supersymmetry breaking scale to several TeV or higher.
Though one might expect this decoupling to have relaxed completely any bounds
on the two CP violating phases in the CMSSM ($\theta_\mu$ and $\theta_A$), the
impressive experimental improvements in the limits on the EDMs (particularly
the electron EDM) still allow us to set constraints of order $(0.01 - 0.1)\pi$
on $\theta_A$ and $(0.001 - 0.1)\pi$ on $\theta_\mu$. We also discuss the
impact of future improvements in the experimental limits on supersymmetric
models.

We study the effects of an anomalous Z' boson on the anomalous magnetic
moment of the muon (g-2), and especially the impact of its axial coupling. We
mainly evaluate the negative contribution to (g-2) of such couplings at
one-loop and look at the anomalous couplings generated at two loops. We find
areas of the parameter space, where the anomalous contribution becomes
comparable and even dominant compared to the one-loop contribution. We show
that in such cases, the cutoff of the theory is sufficiently low, so that new
charged fermions can be found in the next round of collider experiments. We
comment on the realization of such a context in string theory orientifolds.

Despite its dominance in the present universe's energy budget, dark energy is
the least understood component in the universe. Although there is a popular
model for the dynamical dark energy, the quintessence scalar, the investigation
is limited because of its highly elusive character. We present a model where
the quintessence is gauged by an Abelian gauge symmetry. The quintessence is
promoted to be a complex scalar whose real part is the dark energy field while
the imaginary part is the longitudinal component of a new gauge boson. It
brings interesting characters to dark energy physics. We study the general
features of the model, including how the quintessence behavior is affected and
how the solicited dark energy properties constrain its gauge interaction. We
also note that while the uncoupled quintessence models are suffered greatly
from the Hubble tension, it can be alleviated if the quintessence is under the
gauge symmetry.

Gravitational particle production is a minimal contribution to reheating the
Universe after the end of inflation. To study this production channel, two
different approaches have commonly been considered, one of which is based on
the Boltzmann equation, and the other is based on the Bogoliubov
transformation. Each of these has pros and cons in practice. The collision term
in the Boltzmann equation can be computed based on quantum field theory in the
Minkowski spacetime, and thus many techniques have been developed so far. On
the other hand, the Bogoliubov approach may deal with the particle production
beyond the perturbation theory and is able to take into account the effect of
the curved spacetime, whereas in many cases one should rely on numerical
methods, such as lattice computation. We show by explicit numerical and
analytical computations of the purely gravitational production of a scalar that
these two approaches give consistent results for particle production with large
momenta during reheating, whereas the Boltzmann approach is not capable of
computing particle production out of vacuum during inflation. We also provide
analytic approximations of the spectrum of produced scalar with/without mass
for the low momentum regime obtained from the Bogoliubov approach.

We consider the production of dark matter during the process of reheating
after inflation. The relic density of dark matter from freeze-in depends on
both the energy density and energy distribution of the inflaton scattering or
decay products composing the radiation bath. We compare the perturbative and
non-perturbative calculations of the energy density in radiation. We also
consider the (likely) possibility that the final state scalar products are
unstable. Assuming either thermal or non-thermal energy distribution functions,
we compare the resulting relic density based on these different approaches. We
show that the present-day cold dark matter density can be obtained through
freeze-in from preheating for a large range of dark matter masses.

We propose a new portal coupling to dark matter by taking advantage of the
nonminimally coupled portal sector to the Ricci scalar. Such a portal sector
conformally induces couplings to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor of
matters including highly secluded dark matter particles. The portal coupling is
so feeble that dark matter is produced by freeze-in processes of scatterings
and/or the decay of the mediator. We consider two concrete realizations of the
portal: conformally induced Higgs portal and conformally induced mediator
portal. The former case is compatible with the Higgs inflation, while the
latter case can be tested by dark matter direct detection experiments.

We show that a metastable dark matter candidate arises naturally from the
conformal transformation between the Einstein metric, where gravitons are
normalised states, and the Jordan metric dictating the coupling between gravity
and matter. Despite being secluded from the Standard Model by a large scale
above which the Jordan metric shows modifications to the Einstein frame metric,
dark matter couples to the energy momentum tensor of the Higgs field in the
primordial plasma primarily. This allows for the production of dark matter in a
sufficient amount which complies with observations. The seclusion of dark
matter makes it long-lived for masses $\lesssim 1$ MeV, with a lifetime much
above the age of the Universe and the present experimental limits. Such a dark
matter scenario has clear monochromatic signatures generated by the decay of
the dark matter candidate into neutrino and/or $\gamma-$rays.

We analyze in detail the perturbative decay of the inflaton oscillating about
a generic form of its potential $V(\phi) = \phi^k$, taking into account the
effects of non-instantaneous reheating. We show that evolution of the
temperature as a function of the cosmological scale factor depends on the spin
statistics of the final state decay products when $k > 2$. We also include the
inflaton-induced mass of the final states leading to either kinematic
suppression or enhancement if the final states are fermionic or bosonic
respectively. We compute the maximum temperature reached after inflation, the
subsequent evolution of the temperature and the final reheat temperature. We
apply our results to the computation of the dark matter abundance through
thermal scattering during reheating. We also provide an example based on
supersymmetry for the coupling of the inflaton to matter.

We generalize dark matter production to a two-metric framework whereby the
physical metric, which couples to the Standard Model (SM), is conformally
and/or disformally related to the metric governing the gravitational dynamics.
We show that this setup is naturally present in many Ultra Violet (UV)
constructions, from K\"ahler moduli fields to tensor-portal models, and from
emergent gravity to supergravity models. In this setting we study dark matter
production in the early Universe resulting from both scatterings off the
thermal bath and the radiative decay of the inflaton. We also take into account
non-instantaneous reheating effects at the end of inflation. In this context,
dark matter emerges from the production of the scalar field mediating the
conformal/disformal interactions with the SM, i.e. realising a Feebly
Interacting Matter Particle (FIMP) scenario where the suppression scale of the
interaction between the scalar and the SM can be taken almost as high as the
Planck scale in the deep UV.

coupled to the Standard Model through energy--momentum tensors. Our model is
motivated by constructions where gravity {\it emerges} from a hidden sector,
the graviton being identified by the kinetic term of the fields in the secluded
sector. Supposing that the lighter particle of the secluded sector is the dark
component of the Universe, we show that we can produce it in a sufficiently
large amount despite the suppressed couplings of the theory, thanks to large
temperatures of the thermal bath in the early stage of the Universe.

Rare decays of $K$ and $B$ mesons provide a powerful probe of dark sectors
with light new particles. We show that the pair production of $O(100\,{\rm
MeV})$ dark states can be probed with the decays of $K_L$ mesons, owing to the
enhanced two-body kinematics, $K_L\to X_1X_2$ or $X_2X_2$. If either or these
two particles is unstable, e.g. $X_2\to X_1\pi^0$, $X_2\to X_1\gamma$ or
$X_{1,2}\to \gamma\gamma$, such decays could easily mimic $K_L\to \pi^0
\nu\overline{\nu}$ signatures, while not being ruled out by the decays of
charged kaons. We construct explicit models that have enhanced $K_L$ decay
signatures, and are constrained by the results of the KOTO experiment. We note
that recently reported excess events can also be accommodated while satisfying
all other constraints ($B$ decays, colliders, beam dumps). These models are
based on the extensions of the gauge and/or scalar sector of the theory. The
lightest of $X_{1,2}$ particles, if stable, could constitute the entirety of
dark matter.

We perform a systematic analysis of dark matter production during
post-inflationary reheating. Following the period of exponential expansion, the
inflaton begins a period of damped oscillations as it decays. These
oscillations and the evolution of temperature of the thermalized decay products
depend on the shape of the inflaton potential $V(\Phi)$. We consider potentials
of the form $\Phi^k$. Standard matter-dominated oscillations occur for $k=2$.
In general, the production of dark matter may depend on either (or both) the
maximum temperature after inflation, or the reheating temperature, where the
latter is defined when the Universe becomes radiation dominated. We show that
dark matter production is sensitive to the inflaton potential and depends
heavily on the maximum temperature when $k>2$. We also consider the production
of dark matter with masses larger than the reheating temperature.

No-scale supergravity provides a successful framework for Starobinsky-like
inflation models. Two classes of models can be distinguished depending on the
identification of the inflaton with the volume modulus, $T$ (C-models), or a
matter-like field, $\phi$ (WZ-models). When supersymmetry is broken, the
inflationary potential may be perturbed, placing restrictions on the form and
scale of the supersymmetry breaking sector. We consider both types of
inflationary models in the context of high-scale supersymmetry. We further
distinguish between models in which the gravitino mass is below and above the
inflationary scale. We examine the mass spectra of the inflationary sector. We
also consider in detail mechanisms for leptogenesis for each model when a
right-handed neutrino sector, used in the seesaw mechanism to generate neutrino
masses, is employed. In the case of C-models, reheating occurs via inflaton
decay to two Higgs bosons. However, there is a direct decay channel to the
lightest right-handed neutrino which leads to non-thermal leptogenesis. In the
case of WZ-models, in order to achieve reheating, we associate the matter-like
inflaton with one of the right-handed sneutrinos whose decay to the lightest
right handed neutrino simultaneously reheats the Universe and generates the
baryon asymmetry through leptogenesis.

We revisit the limits on $R$-parity violation in the minimal supersymmetric
standard model. In particular, we focus on the high-scale supersymmetry
scenario in which all the sparticles are in excess of the inflationary scale of
approximately $10^{13}$ GeV, and thus no sparticles ever come into thermal
equilibrium. In this case the cosmological limits, stemming from the
preservation of the baryon asymmetry that have been previously applied for weak
scale supersymmetry, are now relaxed. We argue that even when sparticles are
never in equilibrium, $R$-parity violation is still constrained via higher
dimensional operators by neutrino and nucleon experiments and/or insisting on
the preservation of a non-zero $B-L$ asymmetry.

Gauge coupling unification and the stability of the Higgs vacuum are among
two of the cherished features of low-energy supersymmetric models. Putting
aside questions of naturalness, supersymmetry might only be realised in nature
at very high energy scales. If this is the case, the preservation of gauge
coupling unification and the stability of the Higgs vacuum would certainly
require new physics, but it need not necessarily be at weak scale energies. New
physics near the unification scale could in principle ensure Grand Unification,
while new physics below $\mu \sim 10^{10}$ GeV could ensure the stability of
the Higgs vacuum. Surprisingly however, we find that in the context of a
supersymmetric SO(10) Grand Unified Theory, gauge coupling unification and the
Higgs vacuum stability, when taken in conjunction with existing
phenomenological constraints, require the presence of $\mathcal{O}$(TeV)-scale
physics. This weak-scale physics takes the form of a complex scalar SU(2)$_L$
triplet with zero hypercharge, originating from the $\mathbf{210}$ of SO(10).

We consider the effects of R-parity violation due to the inclusion of a
bilinear $\mu^\prime L H_u$ superpotential term in high scale supersymmetric
models with an EeV scale gravitino as dark matter. Although the typical
phenomenological limits on this coupling (e.g. due to lepton number violation
and the preservation of the baryon asymmetry) are relaxed when the
supersymmetric mass spectrum is assumed to be heavy (in excess of the
inflationary scale of $3 \times 10^{13}$ GeV), the requirement that the
gravitino be sufficiently long-lived so as to account for the observed dark
matter density, leads to a relatively strong bound on $\mu^\prime \lesssim 20$
GeV. The dominant decay channels for the longitudinal component of the
gravitino are $Z \nu, W^\pm l^\mp$, and $h\nu$. To avoid an excess neutrino
signal in IceCube, our limit on $\mu'$ is then strengthened to $\mu' \lesssim
50$ keV. When the bound is saturated, we find that there is a potentially
detectable flux of mono-chromatic neutrinos with EeV energies.

Since the light mediator dominantly decays to the U$(1)_{L_{\mu} - L_{\tau } }$
gauge boson and neutrinos, the astrophysical and cosmological constraints are
weak. We study the thermal evolution of the model in the early Universe and

axion portal. The dark photon, a light gauge boson in the dark sector, can be a
relic dark matter if its lifetime is long enough. The main process we consider
is a variant of the Primakoff process $f a \to f \gamma'$ mediated by a photon,
which is possible with the axion--photon--dark photon coupling. The axion is
thermalized in the early universe because of the strong interaction and it can
contribute to the non-thermal dark photon production through the dark axion
portal coupling. It provides a two-component dark matter sector, and the relic
density deficit issue of the axion dark matter can be addressed by the
compensation with the dark photon. The dark photon dark matter can also address
the reported 3.5 keV $X$-ray excess via the $\gamma' \to \gamma a$ decay.

gauge boson case, and identify the parameter region motivated from the dark
matter physics, which can be tested with the planned experiments including the

We discuss a simple model of thermal relic dark matter whose mass can be much
larger than the so-called unitarity limit on the mass of point-like particle
dark matter. The model consists of new strong dynamics with one flavor of
fermions in the fundamental representation which is much heavier than the
dynamical scale of the new strong dynamics. Dark matter is identified with the
lightest baryonic hadron of the new dynamics. The baryonic hadrons annihilate
into the mesonic hadrons of the new strong dynamics when they have large radii.
Resultantly, thermal relic dark matter with a mass in the PeV range is
possible.

In the composite Higgs models, originally proposed by Georgi and Kaplan, the
Higgs boson is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) of spontaneous breaking of
a global symmetry. In the minimal version of such models, global SO(5) symmetry
is spontaneously broken to SO(4), and the pNGBs form an isospin doublet field,
which corresponds to the Higgs doublet in the Standard Model (SM). Predicted
coupling constants of the Higgs boson can in general deviate from the SM
predictions, depending on the compositeness parameter. The deviation pattern is
determined also by the detail of the matter sector. We comprehensively study
how the model can be tested via measuring single and double production
processes of the Higgs boson at LHC and future electron-positron colliders. The
possibility to distinguish the matter sector among the minimal composite Higgs
models is also discussed. In addition, we point out differences in the cross
section of double Higgs boson production from the prediction in other new
physics models.

Recently there has been a huge interest in the diphoton excess around 750 GeV
reported by both ATLAS and CMS collaborations, although the newest analysis
with more statistics does not seem to support the excess. Nevertheless, the
diphoton channel at the LHC experiments are a powerful tool to probe a new
physics. One of the most natural explanations of a diphoton excess, if it
occurs, could be a new scalar boson with exotic colored particles. In this
setup, it would be legitimate to ask what is the role of this new scalar in
nature. A heavy neutral gauge boson ($Z'$) is one of the traditional targets of
the discovery at the collider experiments with numerous motivations. While the
Landau-Yang theorem dictates the diphoton excess cannot be this spin-1 gauge
boson, there is a strong correlation of a new heavy gauge boson and a new
scalar boson which provides a mass to the gauge boson being at the same mass
scale. In this paper, we point out a simple fact that a new scalar with a
property similar to the recently highlighted 750 GeV would suggest an existence
of a TeV scale $Z'$ gauge boson that might be within the reach of the LHC Run 2
experiments. We take a scenario of the well-motivated and popular gauged $B-L$
symmetry and require the gauge coupling unification to predict the mass and
other properties of the $Z'$ and illustrate the discovery of the $Z'$ would
occur during the LHC experiments.

Composite Higgs models are an attractive scenario, where the discovered Higgs
boson is regarded as a Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with spontaneous
breakdown of a global symmetry of more fundamental theory. This class of models
predicts violation of perturbative unitarity at high energies, and new
resonances are expected to appear around TeV scale to maintain the unitarity,
while a sizable phase shift is predicted in certain scattering amplitude. We
investigate the new resonance scale from the phase shift by drawing analogies
with pion physics in QCD. The detectability of the phase shift at LHC and the
ILC is also discussed. This talk was given in {\it HPNP 2015} at University of
Toyama and based on the work in collaboration with S.~Kanemura, T.~Shindou and
N.~Machida (arXiv:1410.8413 [hep-ph]).

A novel model of spontaneous Leptogenesis is investigated, where it takes
place in the thermal equilibrium due to a background Nambu-Goldstone field in
motion. In particular, we identify the Nambu-Goldstone field to be the Majoron
which associates with spontaneous breakdown of (discrete) $B-L$ symmetry. In
this scenario sufficient lepton number asymmetry is generated in primordial
thermal bath without having $CP$-violating out-of-equilibrium decay of the
heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. To obtain the observed baryon asymmetry,
the neutrino masses are predicted in certain ranges, which can be translated
into the effective mass of the neutrinoless double beta decay.

candidate for dark matter (the $SU(2)_L$ triplet fermion) are achieved
simultaneously. In particular, we show that the $SU(3)_c$ octet fermion which

Composite Higgs models are an intriguing scenario in which the Higgs particle
is identified as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with spontaneous
breaking of some global symmetry above the electroweak scale. They would
predict new resonances at high energy scales, some of which can appear at
multi-TeV scales. In such a case, analogies with pion physics in QCD that a
sizable phase shift is predicted in pion-pion scattering processes might help
us to evaluate scales of the resonances.In this paper, we discuss two
complementary approaches to investigate the compositeness scale in minimal
composite Higgs models. First, we discuss the bound on vector boson scattering
from perturbative unitarity, and we evaluate the phase shift of the scattering
amplitude, assuming that the same fitting function can be applied as the case
in the pion physics. We then obtain the relation between possible phase shifts
and promising new resonance scales. We also investigate the possibility to
measure the phase shift at LHC and the future hadron colliders. Second, we
classify deviations in Higgs coupling constants from the standard model
predictions in various kinds of the minimal composite Higgs models. We then
discuss a possibility to discriminate a specific minimal composite Higgs model
from the other models with extended Higgs sectors by utilizing deviation
patterns in the Higgs boson couplings by future precision measurements.

We investigate gravitational effects on the so-called multiple point
criticality principle (MPCP) at the Planck scale. The MPCP requires two
degenerate vacua, whose necessary conditions are expressed by vanishing Higgs
quartic coupling $\lambda(M_{\rm Pl})=0$ and vanishing its $\beta$ function
$\beta_\lambda(M_{\rm Pl})=0$. We discuss a case that a specific form of
gravitational corrections are assumed to contribute to $\beta$ functions of
coupling constants although it is accepted that gravitational corrections do
not alter the running of the standard model (SM) couplings. To satisfy the
above two boundary conditions at the Planck scale, we find that the top pole
mass and the Higgs mass should be $170.8\,{\rm GeV} \lesssim M_t\lesssim
171.7\,{\rm GeV}$ and $M_h=125.7\pm0.4\,{\rm GeV}$, respectively, as well as
include suitable magnitude of gravitational effects (a coefficient of
gravitational contribution as $|a_\lambda| > 2$). In this case, however, since
the Higgs quartic coupling $\lambda$ becomes negative below the Planck scale,
two vacua are not degenerate. We find that $M_h \gtrsim 131.5\,{\rm GeV}$ with
$M_t \gtrsim 174\,{\rm GeV}$ is required by the realization of the MPCP.
Therefore, the MPCP at the Planck scale cannot be realized in the SM and also
the SM with gravity since $M_h \gtrsim 131.5\,{\rm GeV}$ is experimentally
ruled out.

The observed neutrino flux can be as a whole well fitted by a simple
power-law of the neutrino energy $E_\nu$, $E_\nu^{-\gamma_\nu}$ ($\gamma_\nu
\simeq 2$). As a notable feature of the spectrum, however, it has a gap between
500 TeV and 1 PeV. Although the existence of the gap in the neutrino spectrum
is not statistically significant at this point, it is very enticing to ask
whether it might hint some physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, we
investigate a possibility that the gap can be interpreted as an absorption line
in the power-law spectrum by the cosmic neutrino background through a new
resonance in the MeV range. We also show that the absorption line has rich
information about not only the MeV scale new particle but also the neutrino
masses as well as the distances to the astrophysical sources of the high energy
neutrinos. Viable models to achieve this possibility are also discussed.

We discuss the realization of a vanishing effective Higgs potential at the
Planck scale, which is required by the multiple-point criticality principle
(MPCP), in the standard model with singlet scalar dark matter and a
right-handed neutrino. We find the scalar dark matter and the right-handed
neutrino play crucial roles for realization of the MPCP, where a neutrino
Yukawa becomes effective above the Majorana mass of the right-handed neutrino.
Once the top mass is fixed, the MPCP at the (reduced) Planck scale and the
suitable dark matter relic abundance determine the dark matter mass, $m_S$, and
the Majorana mass of the right-handed neutrino, $M_R$, as
$8.5~(8.0)\times10^2~{\rm GeV}\leq m_S\leq1.4~(1.2)\times10^3~{\rm GeV}$ and
$6.3~(5.5)\times10^{13}~{\rm GeV}\leq M_R\leq1.6~(1.2)\times10^{14}~{\rm GeV}$
within current experimental values of the Higgs and top masses. This scenario
is consistent with current dark matter direct search experiments, and will be
checked by future experiments such as LUX with further exposure and/or the
XENON1T.

The large value of the tensor-to-scalar ratio in the cosmic microwave
background radiation reported by the BICEP2 collaboration gives strong impact
on models of supersymmetry (SUSY). The large ratio indicates inflation with a
high-energy scale and thus a high reheating temperature in general, and various
SUSY models suffer from the serious gravitino and Polonyi problems. In this
article, we discuss a class of the high-scale SUSY breaking models which are
completely free from those problems. With especially focusing on the dark
matter relic abundance, we examine how the BICEP2 result narrows down the
parameter space of the models, assuming the simplest chaotic inflation model.
We find that the mass of the dark matter is predicted to be less than about 1
TeV thanks to the non-thermal production in the early universe through the
decay of abundant gravitinos produced after the reheating process. We also
discuss implications in some details to dark matter searches at collider and
indirect dark matter detection experiments.

The high-scale supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking scenario is now attracting many
attentions, because it is consistent with almost all experiments of particle
physics, astrophysics, and cosmology performed so far: e.g. it is possible to
explain the Higgs mass of about 126GeV and contains WIMP dark matter
candidates. In the scenario, gauginos are predicted to be around the TeV scale,
and thus within a kinematically accessible range of near future experiments.
Calculation of the thermal relic abundance for gaugino (bino or wino) dark
matter is then of particular importance in order to clarify its mass consistent
with cosmology and to determine future directions for exploring the high-scale
SUSY breaking scenario. In this article, we calculate the abundance of the
gaugino dark matter, with especially focusing on various coannihilations
between gauginos, which has not been extensively studied so far. Our
calculation involves the Sommerfeld effect on wino and gluino annihilations,
which is known to give significant contributions to their cross sections. Based
on obtained results, we discuss some implications to gaugino searches at
collider and indirect detection experiments of dark matter.

We investigate accurate renormalization group analyses in neutrino sector
between $\nu$-oscillation and seesaw energy scales. We consider decoupling
effects of top quark and Higgs boson on the renormalization group equations of
light neutrino mass matrix. Since the decoupling effects are given in the
standard model scale and independent of high energy physics, our method can
basically apply to any models beyond the standard model. We find that the
decoupling effects of Higgs boson are negligible, while those of top quark are
not. Particularly, the decoupling effects of top quark affect neutrino mass
eigenvalues, which are important for analyzing predictions such as mass squared
differences and neutrinoless double beta decay in an underlying theory existing
at high energy scale.

vanishing self-coupling and Veltman condition at the Planck scale are realized

Higgs cubic coupling plays a crucial role to probe an origin of electroweak
symmetry breaking. It is expected that the cubic coupling is measured by Higgs
pair production at the LHC and ILC, and the deviations from the standard model
can be extracted from the Higgs pair production process, and those can give us
a hint of new physics beyond the standard model. We consider a general
potential that achieves the suitable electroweak symmetry breaking. As one of
the interesting models, we suggest a non-perturbative Higgs model in which a
run-away type of potential is used. In the model, the cross sections of pair
production at the LHC is enlarged compared to the standard model. We also study
the Higgs pair production induced by a non-canonical kinetic term of Higgs
fields which will be important to search the pair-production at the ILC.

We investigate a possibility if a loop diagram via Higgsino can enhance the
Higgs to diphoton decay width in supersymmetric models with an extension of
Higgs sector. A model with an additional non-renormalizable term of Higgs
fields is firstly analyzed where the higher order term can introduce the Higgs
coupling to Higgsinos as well as charged Higgs bosons. We point out that a
choice of the Higgs coupling to obtain a significant size of enhancement of
diphoton decay width reduces the Higgs mass and/or a size of non-renormalizable
term needs to be large and a cutoff scale is around the weak scale. Another
model in which the Higgsino mass term is generated by a non-perturbative
instanton effect via a strong dynamics in a context of SUSY QCD is also
suggested. It is shown that the sign of the Higgs coupling to fermions is
opposite from perturbative models due to an operator including bosonic fields
in the denominator and a constructive contribution to the diphoton decay
amplitude can be easily obtained in this kind of model.

decay. Next, we estimate the non-degeneracy bounds for $\tilde{u}$ and
