Can complex spacetime solve the Higgs hierarchy problem?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Higgs hierarchy problem and its potential solutions involving complex-valued spacetimes. Participants note that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has only discovered one fundamental scalar, the Higgs boson, and question whether complex spacetime could alter the Higgs mass term, potentially resolving the hierarchy issue. The conversation also touches on the relationship between the Higgs hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem, suggesting a deeper misunderstanding in quantum dynamics. Additionally, the role of supersymmetry (SUSY) and its implications for superstring theory are explored.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Higgs hierarchy problem
  • Familiarity with complex-valued spacetimes
  • Knowledge of supersymmetry (SUSY) and its implications
  • Basic concepts of superstring theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of complex-valued spacetimes on fundamental scalars
  • Explore the relationship between the Higgs hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem
  • Investigate the role of scale symmetry in addressing the Higgs hierarchy problem
  • Examine current literature on supersymmetry and its compatibility with superstring theory
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, researchers in particle physics, and anyone interested in advanced concepts related to the Higgs boson and its implications in cosmology and string theory.

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?
