Radiatively Induced Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking by Wilson Line in a Warped Extra Dimension

arXiv:0712.1334

Abstract

We investigate the dynamical gauge-Higgs unification in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) space-time. We study the dynamical gauge-Higgs unification in the SU(2) gauge theory with a bulk fermion in the RS space-time. We evaluate the contribution from fermion loop to the one-loop effective potential with respect to the Wilson-line phase, and study the dynamical gauge symmetry breaking. We also apply this mechanism of the gauge symmetry breaking to the electroweak gauge-Higgs unification in the RS space-time. Especially we numerically studied a SU(3)_w gauge model as a toy model of electroweak gauge-Higgs unification in the RS space-time. We introduce an adjoint fermion into the model to break the gauge symmetry and to obtain the U(1)_em electromagnetic symmetry. We found that in this model the ratio of Z-boson mass to W-boson varies with respect to the Wilson-line phase even at the tree level. We also propose a dynamical mechanism of tuning the ratio m_Z/m_W to the experimental value 91.2GeV/80.4GeV=1.13 by introducing bulk scalars or bulk fermions with twisted boundary conditions. In these models the Higgs can vary in mass between zero and 290GeV.
