Can complex spacetime solve the Higgs hierarchy problem?

In summary, there has been no evidence of SUSY or technicolor found thus far by the LHC. The current understanding is that there is only one fundamental scalar, the Higgs, and there is a large body of literature discussing solutions to the Higgs hierarchy problem. There has been research on the physical properties of fundamental scalars on complex-valued spacetimes, and it has been suggested that hidden dimensions with complex values could be a possible solution to the hierarchy problem. Scale symmetry has also been proposed as a potential approach. The connection between the hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem has also been explored, with some suggesting that there may be a fundamental misunderstanding in our current understanding of these phenomena.

thus far the LHC hasn't found any evidence of SUSY or technicolor.

thus far it's just 1 fundamental scalar

there is an extensive literature on the Higgs hierarchy problem with various proposals and solutions offered

has there been any scientific papers and research on the physical properties of fundamental scalars, like the higgs, on complex-valued spacetimes?

is there a higgs hierarchy problem, and problems with sensitivity at the cut off
if it is a scalar on spacetimes that also have complex, with both imaginary space and time components

or to express it another way, since thus far only 1 fundamental scalar, the higgs, has been discovered by the LHC, can one possible solution to higg's hierarchy problem be that spacetime has hidden dimensions with complex values?

it's higg's mass term that creates the problem, does changing the higgs on a complex spacetime change the properties of the mass term, removing it as the source of the hierarchy problem

Kodama.. as an avid researcher of BSM. Is it possible to proceed with Superstring theory if there is no SUSY below the Planck scale? Or could Superstring accommodate SUSY even if it inside the Planck scale?

I've thought a lot about the Hierarchy Problem. Scale Symmetry seems to be a good approach. Where did you hear about spacetime
that "has hidden dimensions with complex values?" Can you give an example so others know what you meant and can reply too?

Also is there any connection of the Higgs Hiearchy Problem to the Cosmological Constant problems? I mean.. in both, the quantum dynamics can't seem to contribute to the tree term of the Higgs and even the vacuum.. perhaps we have a fundamental misunderstanding of some kind?

 

1. What is the Higgs hierarchy problem?

The Higgs hierarchy problem is a theoretical puzzle in particle physics that questions why the Higgs boson, which is responsible for giving particles mass, has a much smaller mass than expected based on the energy scales of the Standard Model of particle physics.

2. How does complex spacetime attempt to solve the Higgs hierarchy problem?

Complex spacetime is a theoretical framework that introduces an additional dimension of complex numbers to the traditional four dimensions of spacetime. This allows for the introduction of new symmetries that could potentially explain the small mass of the Higgs boson.

3. What evidence supports the use of complex spacetime in solving the Higgs hierarchy problem?

Currently, there is no experimental evidence that directly supports the use of complex spacetime in solving the Higgs hierarchy problem. However, it is a popular topic of research and theoretical studies have shown that it may have potential in addressing the issue.

4. Are there any limitations to using complex spacetime to solve the Higgs hierarchy problem?

One limitation is that the idea of complex spacetime is still largely theoretical and has not been fully developed or tested. Additionally, it may require significant modifications to the existing Standard Model, which could be difficult to reconcile with experimental evidence.

5. What are the potential implications if complex spacetime successfully solves the Higgs hierarchy problem?

If complex spacetime is proven to be a viable solution to the Higgs hierarchy problem, it could lead to a better understanding of the fundamental forces and particles in the universe. It could also provide insights into the nature of spacetime and potentially lead to the development of new technologies.
