Renormalization-scale independence of the physical cosmological constant
Robert Foot, Archil Kobakhidze, Kristian L. McDonald +1
Treating the metric as a classical background field, we show that the cosmological constant does not run with the renormalization scale -- contrary to some claims in the literature…
A solution to the hierarchy problem from an almost decoupled hidden sector within a classically scale invariant theory
Robert Foot, Archil Kobakhidze, Kristian L. McDonald +1
If scale invariance is a classical symmetry then both the Planck scale and the weak scale should emerge as quantum effects. We show that this can be realized in simple scale invari…
Neutrino mass in radiatively-broken scale-invariant models
Robert Foot, Archil Kobakhidze, Kristian. L. McDonald +1
Scale invariance may be a classical symmetry which is broken radiatively. This provides a simple way to stabilize the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking against radiative corre…
Electroweak Higgs as a pseudo-Goldstone boson of broken scale invariance
Robert Foot, Archil Kobakhidze, Raymond R. Volkas
We point out that it is possible to associate the electroweak Higgs boson with the pseudo-Goldstone boson of broken scale invariance, thus resolving the hierarchy problem in a tech…
