2 Introduction Gauge Higgs Unification Model 5-dimensional gauge theory The Higgs fields is identified with some of the extra dimensional components of the gauge fields. [Gersdorff, Irges, Quiros 2002] [Antoniadis, Benakli and Quiros 2001] [Cheng, Matchev and Schmaltz 20002][Irges and Knechtli 2006, 2007] Higgs mass and potential are finite.(hierarchy problem is solved) Higgs potential can break gauge symmetry.(origin of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking SSB) Lattice Gauge theory You can study non-perturbative region by Monte Carlo and Mean-Field. You can take gauge-invariant ultra-violet cut off (Λ = 1/a). [Hosotani 1983] Is there SSB without fermion in non-perturbative region? Torus boundary condition ; o, there is no SSB Orbifold boundary conditions ; Yes! there is SSB [Irges and Knechtli 2009] [Irges, Knechtli and Yoneyama 2012] I will talk about dimensional reduction and continuum limit 1/15

15 Dimensional Reduction Conditions for the dimensional reduction to 4-dimensions 1) The fit to V (r) =const. + b e m z r r is possible with m Z = 0. This ensures that there is SSB, signaled by the presence of the massive U(1) gauge boson. Otherwise the gauge boson is massless and only a Coulomb fit is possible. 2) The quantities M H = a 4 m H and M Z = a 4 m Z < 1. The observables are not dominated by the cut off. 3) F 1 = m H R<1 and ρ MZ = m H /m Z > 1. The Higgs and the Z are lighter than 1/R and the Higgs is heavier than the Z. We will target the value ρ HZ = /15

18 Summary Setup We studied 5-dimensional SU(2) pure gauge theory (Gauge Higgs Unification) on Euclidean lattice whose 5th dimension is orbifolded. Result from mean-field expansion We found there is SSB for orbifold boundary condition. This result is different from perturbative studies but support the Monte Carlo simulation [Irges and Knechtli 2007]. It means SSB occur even if there are no fermions and the Higgs mass can be large enough in the non-perturbative region. Also, it is possible to construct LCP s and predict the existence of a Z state with a mass around 1 TeV by taking the continuum limit for small γ. Monte Carlo Simulation Although the mean-field expansion works better in higher dimensions, there is still uncertainty of the convergence of the mean-field expansion. Therefore, we have to confirm the mean-field result by Monte Carlo simulation. ow, we are working on Monte Carlo Simulation and already have some result. 14/15
