共形模型中宇宙学常数的微调

The fine tuning of the cosmological constant in a conformal model

Pankaj Jain, Gopal Kashyap, Subhadip Mitra

摘要:

本文考虑一个包含两个实标量场的共形模型,其中共形对称性被软机制破缺而不反常。这些标量场中的一个是标准模型希格斯粒子的代表。该模型预测宇宙学常数为零。在模型的最简单版本中,一些耦合需要微调到非常小的值。我们制定这些耦合的微调问题。我们认为,问题的出现,因为我们需要一个软机制,打破共形对称。只有当标量场在宇宙的时间尺度上没有显著演化时,对称性破缺才是可能的。我们提出了两种解决方案,这个微调问题。我们认为,如果一个标量场的经典值是超普朗克的,即采取一个值远远大于普朗克质量的问题得到解决。第二个解决方案涉及到引入一个强耦合的隐藏扇区,我们称之为hypercolor。在这种情况下,共形不变性被动态地破坏,并触发电弱对称性的崩溃。我们认为,我们的分析也适用于标准模型希格斯多重态的情况。

英文摘要:

We consider a conformal model involving two real scalar fields in which the conformal symmetry is broken by a soft mechanism and is not anomalous. One of these scalar fields is representative of the standard model Higgs. The model predicts exactly zero cosmological constant. In the simplest version of the model, some of the couplings need to be fine tuned to very small values. We formulate the problem of fine tuning of these couplings. We argue that the problem arises since we require a soft mechanism to break conformal symmetry. The symmetry breaking is possible only if the scalar fields do not evolve significantly over the time scale of the Universe. We present two solutions to this fine tuning problem. We argue that the problem is solved if the classical value of one of the scalar fields is super-Planckian, i.e. takes a value much larger than the Planck mass. The second solution involves introduction of a strongly coupled hidden sector that we call hypercolor. In this case the conformal invariance is broken dynamically and triggers the breakdown of the electroweak symmetry. We argue that our analysis applies also to the case of the standard model Higgs multiplet.
