Geometric origin of coincidences and hierarchies in the landscape

Journal Article Bousso, Raphael ; Leichenauer, Stefan ; Rosenhaus, Vladimir ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We show that the geometry of cutoffs on eternal inflation strongly constrains predictions for the time scales of vacuum domination, curvature domination, and observation. We consider three measure proposals: the causal patch, the fat geodesic, and the apparent horizon cutoff, which is introduced here for the first time. We impose neither anthropic requirements nor restrictions on landscape vacua. For vacua with positive cosmological constant, all three measures predict the double coincidence that most observers live at the onset of vacuum domination and just before the onset of curvature domination. The hierarchy between the Planck scale and the cosmological constant ismore »« less

Global strings in extra dimensions: The full map of solutions, matter trapping, and the hierarchy problem

Journal Article Bronnikov, K A ; Meierovich, B. E. - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

We consider (d{sub 0} + 2)-dimensional configurations with global strings in two extra dimensions and a flat metric in d{sub 0} dimensions, endowed with a warp factor e{sup 2{gamma}} depending on the distance l from the string center. All possible regular solutions of the field equations are classified by the behavior of the warp factor and the extradimensional circular radius r(l). Solutions with r {sup {yields}} {infinity} and r {sup {yields}} const > 0 as l {sup {yields}} {infinity} are interpreted in terms of thick brane-world models. Solutions with r {sup {yields}} 0 as l {sup {yields}} l{sub c} >more »« less

A Little Solution to the Little Hierarchy Problem: A Vector-like Generation

Journal Article Graham, Peter W ; Ismail, Ahmed ; /Stanford U., Phys. Dept. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

We present a simple solution to the little hierarchy problem in the minimal supersymmetric standard model: a vectorlike fourth generation. With O(1) Yukawa couplings for the new quarks, the Higgs mass can naturally be above 114 GeV. Unlike a chiral fourth generation, a vectorlike generation can solve the little hierarchy problem while remaining consistent with precision electroweak and direct production constraints, and maintaining the success of the grand unified framework. The new quarks are predicted to lie between 300-600 GeV and will thus be discovered or ruled out at the LHC. This scenario suggests exploration of several novel collider signatures.

Infinite-component field theory: a key to the solution of the hierarchy problem

Journal Article Krasnikov, N V - Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

We construct ultraviolet-finite infinite-component field theories. In particular we find an infinite-component generalization of the Yang-Mills theory having an ultraviolet fixed point. We show that the infinite-component field theory with a mass for the first excitation /ital M/less than or equal to1--10 TeV solves the hierarchy problem.
