Gauge-Higgs Unification: Stable Higgs Bosons as Cold Dark Matter
Yutaka Hosotani
TL;DR
This paper explores a model where Higgs bosons, arising from gauge-Higgs unification in a warped extra dimension, are stable and serve as dark matter, with a predicted mass around 70 GeV.
Contribution
It demonstrates that in the SO(5)×U(1) gauge-Higgs unification model, Higgs bosons are stable and can account for dark matter, with mass estimates consistent with cosmological data.
Findings
Higgs bosons are stable due to gauge-Higgs unification.
Predicted Higgs mass is approximately 70 GeV.
Higgs bosons can serve as cold dark matter.
Abstract
In the gauge-Higgs unification the 4D Higgs field becomes a part of the extra-dimensional component of the gauge potentials. In the gauge-Higgs unification in the Randall-Sundrum warped spacetime the electroweak symmetry is dynamically broken through the Hosotani mechanism. The Higgs bosons become absolutely stable, and become the dark matter of the universe. The mass of the Higgs boson is determined from the WMAP data to be about 70 GeV.
