Electroweak symmetry breaking and mass spectra in six-dimensional gauge-Higgs grand unification

Abstract

The mass spectra of the standard model particles are reproduced in the SO(11) gauge-Higgs grand unification in six-dimensional warped space without introducing exotic light fermions. Light neutrino masses are explained by the gauge-Higgs seesaw mechanism. We evaluate the effective potential of the four-dimensional Higgs boson appearing as a fluctuation mode of the Aharonov-Bohm phase θ H in the extra-dimensional space, and show that the dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking takes place with the Higgs boson mass m H ∼ 125 GeV and θ H ∼ 0.1. The Kaluza-Klein mass scale in the fifth dimension is approximately given by m KK ∼ 1.230 TeV/sin θ H .
