Outer automorphisms are sufficient conditions for RG fixed points
Thede de Boer, Andreas Trautner
We point out that the existence of an outer automorphism (Out) is a sufficient condition for the existence of a fixed hyperplane (fixed point, separatrix) in the renormalization gr…
Goofy transformations and the hierarchy problem
Andreas Trautner
Goofy transformations of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs field generally prohibit its bare mass term. This opens up an entirely new class of solutions to the electroweak (EW) hierarc…
Goofy is the new Normal
Andreas Trautner
We discuss the recently discovered global transformations and conclude that their understanding is mandatory to describe the renormalization group (RG) fixed point…
Hidden Sector Custodial Naturalness
Thede de Boer, Manfred Lindner, Andreas Trautner
Custodial Naturalness is a recently introduced idea that combines conformal and scalar-sector custodial symmetry to address the electroweak (EW) scale hierarchy problem of the Stan…
Electroweak hierarchy from conformal and custodial symmetry -- "Custodial Naturalness"
Andreas Trautner
I introduce the idea of "Custodial Naturalness" to explain the origin of the electroweak (EW) scale hierarchy. Custodial Naturalness is based on classical scale invariance as well…
