The Scalar Field Of 5D Gravity And The Higgs Field Of 4D Particle Physics: A Possible Connection
Paul S. Wesson
TL;DR
This paper reviews how a scalar field from 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity could be connected to the Higgs field in 4D particle physics, potentially explaining variable cosmological constants and particle masses.
Contribution
It proposes a possible link between the scalar field in 5D gravity and the Higgs field, offering insights into variable cosmological constants and particle masses.
Findings
Scalar field in 5D gravity relates to the Higgs field in 4D.
Embedding 4D spacetime in 5D can lead to variable cosmological 'constant'.
Particle masses may be tiny compared to the Planck scale.
Abstract
The main results are reviewed of relating the scalar field of noncompactified Kaluza-Klein gravity to the Higgs field of particle physics. The embedding of 4D spacetime in a 5D manifold can result in a variable cosmological 'constant' and particle masses tiny compared to the Planck value.
