Few remarks on the Higgs boson decays in gauge-Higgs unification

Abstract

In the scenario of gauge-Higgs unification, the origin of the Higgs boson is higher dimensional gauge boson. Reflecting its origin, very characteristic predictions are made of the Higgs boson interactions in this scenario. Especially, a remarkable claim has been made: the contribution of non-zero Kaluza-Klein modes to the Higgs decay $H\to Z\gamma$ exactly vanishes in the minimal SU(3) electro-weak unified model, at least at the one-loop level. In this brief report, in order to see whether this prediction is a general feature of the scenario or the consequence of the specific choice of the model, matter content or the order of perturbative expansion, we perform an operator analysis. We demonstrate that there does not exist any relevant operator, respecting the gauge symmetry SU(3) in the bulk. We also comment on the possibly important contribution to the photonic decay $H\to \gamma \gamma$ due to the non-zero Kaluza-Klein modes of light quarks.
