TL;DR

This paper presents a five-dimensional standard model where the Higgs field is interpreted as a weak boson linked to an extra dimension, explaining particle mass spectra through coordinate-dependent vacuum expectation values.

Contribution

It introduces a novel five-dimensional framework where the Higgs field emerges as a weak boson, providing a new geometric perspective on mass generation.

Findings

Higgs field modeled as a fifth-dimensional weak boson

Mass spectrum explained by coordinate-dependent vacuum expectation value

Coupling constants consistent with weak interaction

Abstract

We propose a five-dimensional standard model which regards the Higgs field as a weak boson associated with the fifth dimension. The kinetic term of the Higgs field is obtained from the fifth components of field strengths defined in five dimension. The coupling constant of the fermion fields and the Higgs field is only the weak coupling constant. However, since the vacuum expectation value depends on the fifth coordinate, we can explain the various mass spectrum of elementary particles.
