Effective Field Theory for a Heavy Higgs Boson : Matching and Gauge Invariance
نویسندگان
چکیده
For large values of the Higgs mass the low energy structure of the gauged linear sigma model in the spontaneously broken phase can adequately be described by an effective field theory. We present a manifestly gauge-invariant functional technique to explicitly evaluate the corresponding effective Lagrangian from the underlying theory.

The electroweak chiral Lagrangian reanalyzed
In this paper we reanalyze the electroweak chiral Lagrangian with particular focus on two issues related to gauge invariance. Our analysis is based on a manifestly gauge-invariant approach that we introduced recently. It deals with gauge-invariant Green’s functions and provides a method to evaluate the corresponding generating functional without fixing the gauge. First we show, for the case whe...
متن کاملNonstandard implementation of the standard Higgs boson
We discuss an alternative implementation of the Higgs boson within the Standard Model which is possible if the renormalizability condition is relaxed. Namely, at energy scale Λ the Higgs boson interacts at tree-level only with matter fermions, while the full gauge invariance is still maintained. The interactions with the electroweak gauge bosons are induced at low energies through the radiative...

متن کاملDeriving nondecoupling effects of heavy fields from the path integral: A heavy Higgs field in an SU(2) gauge theory.
We describe a method to remove non-decoupling heavy fields from a quantized field theory and to construct a low-energy one-loop effective Lagrangian by integrating out the heavy degrees of freedom in the path integral. We apply this method to the Higgs boson in a spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theory (gauged linear σmodel). In this context, the background-field method is generalized to the no...
متن کاملNonlinearly Realized Local Scale Invariance: Gravity and Matter
That the scalar field theories with no dimensional couplings possess local scale invariance (LSI) via the curvature gauging is utilized to show that the Goldstone boson, released by the spontaneous LSI breakdown, is swallowed by the spacetime curvature in order to generate Newton’s constant in the same spirit as the induction of vector boson masses via spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. For E...
