A geometric formulation of Higgs effective field theory: measuring the curvature of scalar field space

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2362733



Abstract: A geometric formulation of Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) is presented. Experimental observables are given in terms of geometric invariants of the scalar sigma model sector such as the curvature of the scalar field manifold mathcalM. We show how the curvature can be measured experimentally via Higgs cross-sections, WL scattering, and the S parameter. The one-loop action of HEFT is given in terms of geometric invariants of mathcalM. The distinction between the Standard Model (SM) and HEFT is whether mathcalM is flat or curved, not whether the scalars transform linearly or non-linearly under the electroweak group.
