Natural extensions of electroweak geometry and Higgs interactions

TL;DR

This paper investigates a geometric framework suggesting the Higgs boson may be part of a larger family, introducing new internal structures and interactions derived from gauge field geometries.

Contribution

It proposes a novel geometric approach to Higgs interactions, including a mechanism for the Higgs potential and new point interactions from two-spinor contractions.

Findings

A larger internal structure for the Higgs boson is naturally derived.

A potential mechanism for the Higgs potential is proposed.

New point interactions from two-spinor index contractions are identified.

Abstract

We explore the possibility that the Higgs boson of the standard model be actually a member of a larger family, by showing that a more elaborate internal structure naturally arises from geometrical arguments, in the context of a partly original handling of gauge fields which was put forward in previous papers. A possible mechanism yielding the usual Higgs potential is proposed. New types of point interactions, arising in particular from two-spinor index contractions, are shown to be allowed.
