Gauge hierarchy and metastability from Higgs-driven crunching
Sean Benevedes, Ameen Ismail, Thomas Steingasser
We present a new solution to the Higgs hierarchy problem based on dynamical vacuum selection in a landscape scanning the Higgs mass. In patches where the Higgs mass parameter takes…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking, gauge hierarchy and electroweak vacuum metastability
Sean Benevedes, Thomas Steingasser, Sokratis Trifinopoulos
The so-called metastability bound asserts that an unnaturally small Higgs mass is a necessary condition for electroweak vacuum metastability, offering a new approach towards solvin…
