TL;DR
This paper proposes that the Higgs boson could be a light composite state arising from unique strong dynamics, not necessarily from traditional TeV-scale strong interactions or pseudo-Goldstone mechanisms.
Contribution
It introduces a novel perspective on Higgs compositeness, linking it to specific strong dynamics and exploring a 4-Higgs-doublet model with a strongly interacting fourth family.
Findings
Higgs-like state can result from particular strong dynamics.
Decoupling limit and its corrections are analyzed.
Implications for a 4-Higgs-doublet model with a fourth family.
Abstract
We suggest that the Higgs is a light composite state that does not emerge from TeV scale strong dynamics for any generic reason, such as when it is pseudo-Goldstone boson. Instead, a state that is Higgs-like and fairly decoupled from heavier states may simply be a reflection of very particular strong dynamics, with properties quite distinct from more familiar large- type gauge dynamics. We elaborate on this picture in the context of a strongly interacting fourth family and an effective 4-Higgs-doublet model. The origin of a decoupling limit and the corrections to it are discussed.
