Two loop finiteness of Higgs mass and potential in the gauge-Higgs unification

Hosotani, Y., Maru, N., Takenaga, K. et al.

Understand

The zero mode of an extra-dimensional component of gauge potentials serves as a 4D Higgs field in the gauge-Higgs unification.

  • We examine QED on $M^4 \times S^1$ and determine the mass and potential of a 4D Higgs field (the $A_5$ component) at the two loop level with gauge invariant reguralization.
  • It is seen that the mass is free from divergences and independent of the renormalization scheme.
