Dynamical Higgs potentials with a landscape
arXiv:hep-th/0602285 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.73.126002
Abstract
We consider one-loop effective potentials for adjoint Higgs fields that originate from flat holonomies in toroidal compactification of gauge theories. We show that such potentials are "landscape-like" for large gauge groups and generic non-supersymmetric matter representations. In particular, there is a large number of vacua with similar local properties, scanning a broad band of vacuum energies.
