      abstract     = {A combined statistical analysis of searches for heavy
                      vector boson resonances decaying into pairs of W, Z, or
                      Higgs bosons, as well as into quark pairs
                      ($\mathrm{q\bar{q}}$, $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$,
                      $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$, $\mathrm{t\bar{b}}$) or lepton pairs
                      ($\ell^+\ell^-$, $\ell\barν$), with $\ell =$ e, $μ$, $τ$,
                      is presented. The results are based on proton-proton
                      collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV,
                      corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$,
                      collected by the CMS experiment from 2016 to 2018. No
                      significant deviation from the expectations of the standard
                      model is observed. The results are interpreted in the
                      simplified heavy vector triplet (HVT) framework, setting
                      95\% confidence level upper limits on the production cross
                      sections and coupling strengths to standard model particles
                      or the HVT bosons. The results exclude HVT resonances with
                      masses below 5.5 TeV in a weakly coupled scenario, below 4.8
                      TeV in a strongly coupled scenario, and up to 2.0 TeV in the
                      case of production via vector boson fusion. The combination
                      provides the most stringent constraints to date on new
                      phenomena predicted by the HVT model.},
