Title: Gauge hierarchy from electroweak vacuum metastability

Abstract

We consider the possibility that the gauge hierarchy is a byproduct of the metastability of the electroweak vacuum, i.e., that whatever mechanism is responsible for the latter also sets the running Higgs mass to a value smaller than its natural value by many orders of magnitude. We find that the metastability of the electroweak vacuum, together with the requirement that such a nontrivial vacuum exists, requires the Higgs mass to be smaller than the instability scale by around 1 order of magnitude. While this bound is quite weak in the Standard Model (SM), as the instability scale is ~10¹¹ GeV, simple and well-motivated extensions of the SM significantly tighten the bound by lowering the instability scale. We first consider the effect of right-handed neutrinos in the vMSM with approximate B -$$\tilde{L}$$ symmetry, which allows for masses of order TeV for the right-handed neutrinos and $$\mathscr{O}$$(1) Yukawa couplings. We find that right-handed neutrinos cannot by themselves fully explain the gauge hierarchy, as the tightest upper bound compatible with current experimental constraints is ~ 10⁸ GeV. As we demonstrate on the example of the minimal SU(4)/Sp(4) composite Higgs model, this bound can be lowered significantly through the interplay of the neutrinos and a dimension-six operator. In this scenario, the bound can be brought down considerably, with the smallest value accessible by our perturbative treatment being of order ≃ 10 TeV, and consistently several orders of magnitude below its natural value. While this is insufficient to fully solve the gauge hierarchy problem, our results imply that, assuming the SM symmetry-breaking pattern, small running Higgs masses are a universal property of theories giving rise to metastability, suggesting a common origin of the two underlying fine-tunings and providing a strong constraint on any attempt to explain metastability.

Classically conformal ${U (1)}^{'}$ extended standard model, electroweak vacuum stability, and LHC Run-2 bounds

Journal Article Das, Arindam ; Oda, Satsuki ; Okada, Nobuchika ; ... - Physical Review D

Here, we consider the minimal U(1)' extension of the standard model (SM) with the classically conformal invariance, where an anomaly-free U(1)' gauge symmetry is introduced along with three generations of right-handed neutrinos and a U(1)' Higgs field. Since the classically conformal symmetry forbids all dimensional parameters in the model, the U(1)' gauge symmetry is broken by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism, generating the mass terms of the U(1)' gauge boson (Z' boson) and the right-handed neutrinos. Through a mixing quartic coupling between the U(1)' Higgs field and the SM Higgs doublet field, the radiative U(1)' gauge symmetry breaking also triggers the breakingmore »« less

Right-handed neutrino dark matter in the classically conformal $$\mathrm{U(1)'}$$ extended standard model

Journal Article Oda, Satsuki ; Okada, Nobuchika ; Takahashi, Dai-suke - Physical Review. D.

Here we consider the dark matter (DM) scenario in the context of the classically conformal U(1)′ extended standard model (SM), with three right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) and the U(1)′ Higgs field. The model is free from all of the U(1)′ gauge and gravitational anomalies in the presence of the three RHNs. We introduce a Z₂ parity in the model, under which an odd parity is assigned to one RHN, while all of the other particles are assigned to be Z₂ even, and hence the Z₂-odd RHN serves as a DM candidate. In this model, the U(1)′ gauge symmetry is radiatively brokenmore »« less

Classically conformal $U (1)^{'}$ extended standard model and Higgs vacuum stability

Journal Article Oda, Satsuki ; Okada, Nobuchika ; Takahashi, Dai-suke - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

Here, we consider the minimal U(1)' extension of the Standard Model (SM) with conformal invariance at the classical level, where in addition to the SM particle contents, three generations of right-handed neutrinos and a U(1)' Higgs field are introduced. In the presence of the three right-handed neutrinos, which are responsible for the seesaw mechanism, this model is free from all the gauge and gravitational anomalies. The U(1)' gauge symmetry is radiatively broken via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism, by which the U(1)' gauge boson (Z' boson) mass as well as the Majorana mass for the right-handed neutrinos are generated. The radiative U(1)'more »« less

The unnatural composite Higgs

Journal Article Barnard, James ; Gherghetta, Tony ; Ray, Tirtha Sankar ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Composite Higgs models can trivially satisfy precision-electroweak and flavour constraints by simply having a large spontaneous symmetry breaking scale, f ≳ 10 TeV. This produces a ‘split’ spectrum, where the strong sector resonances have masses greater than 10 TeV and are separated from the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons, which remain near the electroweak scale. Even though a tuning of order 10^–4 is required to obtain the observed Higgs boson mass, the big hierarchy problem remains mostly solved. Intriguingly, models with a fully-composite right-handed top quark also exhibit improved gauge coupling unification. By restricting ourselves to models which preserve these features wemore »« less

Electroweak vacuum stability in classically conformal B - L extension of the standard model

Journal Article Das, Arindam ; Okada, Nobuchika ; Papapietro, Nathan - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

Here, we consider the minimal U(1) _{B - L} extension of the standard model (SM) with the classically conformal invariance, where an anomaly-free U(1) _{B - L} gauge symme- try is introduced along with three generations of right-handed neutrinos and a U(1) _{B - L} Higgs field. Because of the classi- cally conformal symmetry, all dimensional parameters are forbidden. The B - L gauge symmetry is radiatively bro- ken through the Coleman–Weinberg mechanism, generating the mass for the U(1)_{B - L} gauge boson (Z' boson) and the right-handed neutrinos. Through a small negative coupling between themore »« less
