Asymptotically safe weak interactions
Xavier Calmet
(Submitted on 26 Dec 2010)
"We emphasize that the electroweak interactions without a Higgs boson are very similar to quantum general relativity. The Higgs field could just be a dressing field and might not exist as a propagating particle. In that interpretation, the electroweak interactions without a Higgs boson could be renormalizable at the non-perturbative level because of a non-trivial fixed point. Tree-level unitarity in electroweak bosons scattering is restored by the running of the weak scale."
What is a dressing field?
Could this paper be correct? If true, what would it mean for the LHC, hierarchy problem, fine-tuning, higgs quadratic radiative corrections, SUSY, strings, and future physics research and QG?
