Abstract

We investigate how extra-dimensional dynamics influence the Higgs sector phenomenology by compactifying a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) coupled to 4D gravity on a circle S1S^{1}. The resulting effective potential includes tree-level 2HDM interactions, one-loop Coleman-Weinberg corrections from the Kaluza-Klein towers, and a radion contribution inspired by the Goldberger-Wise mechanism. We derive the full 3D effective action and show that, for the observed Higgs mass mh=125m_{h}=125 GeV, the radion potential admits a stable minimum, near-zero vacuum energy. By imposing the non-supersymmetric AdS instability conjecture as a quantum gravity consistency requirement, we obtain a model independent bound on the heavy Higgs sector, finding that the additional scalar states must satisfy MH680M_{H}\gtrsim 680 GeV to avoid an unstable AdS3_{3} vacuum. Our results demonstrate how Swampland inspired constraints can yield sharp, phenomenologically testable predictions for extended Higgs sectors.
