Undergrad Can complex spacetime solve the Higgs hierarchy problem?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the Higgs hierarchy problem and the implications of complex-valued spacetimes on fundamental scalars like the Higgs boson. Participants explore whether the lack of evidence for supersymmetry (SUSY) or technicolor at the LHC suggests that hidden dimensions with complex values could provide a solution to this problem. The conversation also touches on the relationship between Higgs mass terms and the hierarchy issue, questioning if altering these terms in complex spacetime could mitigate the problem. Additionally, there is a query about the connection between the Higgs hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem, suggesting a potential fundamental misunderstanding in quantum dynamics. The exploration of these advanced theoretical concepts highlights ongoing research and interest in beyond standard model physics.

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?

 
"Supernovae evidence for foundational change to cosmological models" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.15143 The paper claims: We compare the standard homogeneous cosmological model, i.e., spatially flat ΛCDM, and the timescape cosmology which invokes backreaction of inhomogeneities. Timescape, while statistically homogeneous and isotropic, departs from average Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker evolution, and replaces dark energy by kinetic gravitational energy and its gradients, in explaining...
