Quantum relaxation of the Higgs mass

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel dynamical mechanism involving gravitational infrared fluctuations to address the electroweak hierarchy problem without introducing new physics at the electroweak scale.

Contribution

It introduces a new approach where gravitational infrared fluctuations partially screen the Higgs mass, offering an alternative solution to the hierarchy problem.

Findings

Infrared gravitational fluctuations can screen the Higgs mass.

The mechanism does not require new physics at the electroweak scale.

Provides a qualitative new perspective on the hierarchy problem.

Abstract

I put forward a qualitatively new dynamical mechanism for solving the electroweak hierarchy problem that does not require new physics at the electroweak. I argue that the infrared fluctuations of the gravitational field may provide a partial screening of the Higgs mass, similar to the infrared screening of the electric charge in quantum electrodynamics.
