Higgs Mass and Noncommutative Geometry

Abstract

We show that the description of the electroweak interactions based on noncommutative geometry of a continuous and a discrete space gives no special relations between the Higgs mass and other parameters of the model. We prove that there exists a gauge invariant term, linear in the curvature, which is trivial in the standard differential geometry but nontrivial in the case of the discrete geometry. The relations could appear only if one neglects this term, otherwise one gets the Lagrangian of the Standard model with the exact number of free parameters.
