Abstract

4D Higgs field is identified with the extra-dimensional component of gauge potentials in the gauge-Higgs unification scenario. SO(5)×U(1)SO(5) \times U(1) gauge-Higgs EW unification in the Randall-Sundrum warped space is successful at low energies. The Higgs field appears as an Aharonov-Bohm phase θH\theta_H in the fifth dimension. Its mass is generated at the quantum level and is finite. The model yields almost the same phenomenology as the standard model for θH<0.1\theta_H < 0.1, and predicts ZZ' bosons around 6 - 10 TeV with very broad widths. The scenario is genelarized to SO(11)SO(11) gauge-Higgs grand unification. Fermions are introduced in the spinor and vector representations of SO(11)SO(11). Proton decay is naturally forbidden.
