چکیده

We show that, in quaternion quantum mechanics with a complex geometry, the minimal four Higgs of the unbroken electroweak theory naturally determine the quaternion invariance group which corresponds to the Glashow group. Consequently, we are able to identify the physical significance of the anomalous Higgs scalar solutions. We introduce and discuss the complex projection of the Lagrangian density.

Natural electroweak breaking from a mirror symmetry.

We present "twin Higgs models," simple realizations of the Higgs boson as a pseudo Goldstone boson that protect the weak scale from radiative corrections up to scales of order 5-10 TeV. In the ultraviolet these theories have a discrete symmetry which interchanges each standard model particle with a corresponding particle which transforms under a twin or a mirror standard model gauge group. In a...

4 v 1 1 6 M ay 2 00 5 UCRHEP - T 389 , May 2005 A NEW FAMILY SYMMETRY : DISCRETE QUATERNION

We examine the structure of the quaternion group Q8 and its possible application to the physics of flavor. We find that a Q8 family symmetry is suitable to explain the difference between quark and lepton mixing patterns. Distinctive phenomenological predictions are derived for the neutrino sector and the electroweak Higgs sector. We also show how the Q8 symmetry suppresses the effective operato...

Symmetry remnants: Rationale for having two Higgs doublets.

There is a good reason why the standard electroweak SU(2) × U(1) gauge model may be supplemented by two Higgs scalar doublets. They may be remnants of the spontaneous breaking of an SU(2) × SU(2) × U(1) gauge symmetry at a much higher energy scale. In one case, the two-doublet Higgs potential has a custodial SU(2) symmetry and implies an observable scalar triplet. In another, a light neutral sc...

The Higgs Mass Bound in Gauge Extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

The minimal supersymmetric standard model, and extensions, have stringent upper bounds on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson if perturbativity up to the Planck scale is assumed. We argue that these bounds are softened tremendously if the Higgs is charged under an asymptotically free gauge group. We present a model with an additional SU(2) gauge group which easily produces Higgs masses above 2...

X iv : h ep - p h / 03 02 04 9 v 2 1 8 Fe b 20 03 The Little Higgs from a Simple Group

We present a model of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the Higgs boson is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. By embedding the standard models SU(2)×U(1) into an SU(4) × U(1) gauge group, one-loop quadratic divergences to the Higgs mass from gauge and top loops are canceled automatically with the minimal particle content. The potential contains a Higgs quartic coupling which does not introduc...
