Can gravity make the Higgs particle light?

TL;DR

This paper explores a gravity-based model where the Higgs field's vacuum expectation value influences gravity, resulting in a Higgs particle that interacts only gravitationally and remains consistent with current experimental data.

Contribution

It proposes a novel model linking the Higgs mechanism to gravity, suggesting the Higgs couples only gravitationally and remains undetectable at current energies.

Findings

The model aligns with existing experimental data.

Higgs couples only gravitationally in this framework.

New dynamics are expected above the Fermi scale.

Abstract

The spontaneous symmetry breaking theory of gravity is examined, assuming that the vacuum expectation value of the standard model Higgs is also responsible for the generation of the Planck mass. In this model the physical Higgs couples only with gravitational strength to matter. At presently accessible energies the theory is indistinguishable from the standard model without Higgs boson and is in agreement with all existing data.At energies above the Fermi scale new dynamics should occur.
