Composite Higgs Bosons and Mini Black Holes

TL;DR

This paper proposes a model where the Higgs boson emerges as a gravitationally bound state of top quarks, predicting observable multi-Higgs states at the LHC due to mini black hole formation at the Planck scale.

Contribution

It introduces a novel composite Higgs model based on mini black holes and strong coupling dynamics at the Planck scale, leading to testable predictions at collider experiments.

Findings

Higgs boson as a gravitationally bound top-antitop state

Prediction of multiple Higgs-like states at LHC energies

Connection between mini black holes and Higgs compositeness

Abstract

Pairs of standard model fermions can annihilate to produce mini black holes with gauge quantum numbers of the Higgs boson at $M_{Planck}$. This leads to a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model at the Planck scale with strong coupling which binds fermion pairs into Higgs fields. At critical coupling the renormalization group dresses these objects, which then descend in scale to emerge as OBSERVABLE boundstate Higgs bosons at low energies, and we obtain the multi-Higgs spectrum of a "scalar democracy." The observed Higgs boson is a gravitationally bound $\bar{t}t$ composite. Sequential states may be seen at the LHC, and/or its upgrades.
