Electroweak Symmetry Breaking as a Consequence of Compact Dimensions
It has been shown recently that the Higgs doublet may be composite, with the left-handed top-bottom doublet and a new right-handed anti-quark as constituents bound by some four-quark operators with non-perturbative coefficients. I show that these operators are naturally induced if there are extra spatial dimensions with a compactification scale in the multi-TeV range. The Higgs compositness is ...
متن کاملElectroweak Symmetry Breaking and Extra Dimensions
Electroweak symmetry can be naturally broken by observed quark and gauge fields in various extra-dimensional configurations. No new fundamental fields are required below the quantum gravitational scale (∼ 10 – 100 TeV). We examine schemes in which the QCD gauge group alone, in compact extra dimensions, forms a composite Higgs doublet out of (t, b)L and a linear combination of the KaluzaKlein mo...
متن کاملElectroweak symmetry breaking as a proximity effect
The proximity effect in condensed matter physics is a mechanism that naturally produces weak superconductivity. We argue that a braneworld can similarly produce a low-energy breaking of the electroweak symmetry, provided that in addition to the “normal” region, occupied by the conventional phase of QCD, there is a bulk region where the color is in an anisotropic (layered) state with a larger co...
متن کاملElectroweak symmetry breaking and fermion masses from extra dimensions
We study higher-dimensional non-supersymmetric orbifold models where the Higgs field is identified with some internal component of a gauge field. We address two important and related issues that constitute severe obstacles towards model building within this type of constructions: the possibilities of achieving satisfactory Yukawa couplings and Higgs potentials. We consider models where matter f...
متن کاملTASI Lectures on Electroweak Symmetry Breaking from Extra Dimensions∗
This is a pedagogical introduction into the possible uses and effects of extra dimensions in electroweak (TeV scale) physics, and in particular to models of electroweak symmetry breaking via boundary conditions (“higgsless models”). It is self contained: all the aspects of extra dimensional and electroweak physics used here are reviewed, before we apply these concepts to higgsless models. In th...
