Emergent two-Higgs doublet models

Abstract

We investigate origin of three features that are often assumed in analysis of two-Higgs doublet models: (i) softly broken Z2 symmetry, (ii) CP invariant Higgs potential, and (iii) degenerated mass spectra. We extend electroweak gauge symmetry, introducing extra gauge symmetry and extra scalars, and we show that our models effectively derive two-Higgs dou- blet models at low energy which naturally hold the three features. We also find that the models can solve the strong CP problem.
