# Radiative symmetry breaking from interacting UV fixed points

## TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that adding positive mass-squared terms to asymptotically safe gauge-Yukawa theories with UV fixed points induces calculable radiative symmetry breaking in the IR, similar to mechanisms in the Supersymmetric Standard Model.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel mechanism for radiative symmetry breaking in asymptotically safe theories with calculable predictions.

## Key findings

- Positive mass-squared terms trigger IR symmetry breaking.
- The phenomenon is analogous to supersymmetric radiative symmetry breaking.
- The running of operators is multiplicative and predictable.

## Abstract

It is shown that the addition of positive mass-squared terms to asymptotically safe gauge-Yukawa theories with perturbative UV fixed points leads to calculable radiative symmetry breaking in the IR. This phenomenon, and the multiplicative running of the operators that lies behind it, is akin to the radiative symmetry breaking that occurs in the Supersymmetric Standard Model.
