Spontaneous breaking of vector symmetries and the non-decoupling light Higgs particle

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Using a four fermion interaction Lagrangian, we demonstrate that the spontaneous breaking of vector symmetries requires the existence of a light (comparing with the heavy fermion mass) scalar particle and the low energy effective theory (the σ\sigma model) obtained after integrating out heavy fermion degrees of freedom is asymptotically a renormalizable one. When applying the idea to the electroweak symmetry breaking sector of the standard model, the Higgs particle's mass is of the order of the electroweak scale: 185GeV/Nc<mH<720GeV/Nc185 GeV /\sqrt{N_c} < m_H < 720 GeV /\sqrt{N_c} where NcN_c is the color degrees of freedom of the heavy fermion fields.
