RFT 12.5: Scalaron as SU(2)_L Doublet - Electroweak Breaking

Version 1.0 Published: May 2025
Electroweak Breaking SU(2) Doublet Yukawa Hierarchies VEV

Abstract

Shows how the scalaron naturally forms an SU(2)_L doublet, providing geometric explanation of electroweak symmetry breaking and Yukawa hierarchies. 🔗 Complements the 2HDM approach in 13.2 with fundamental doublet structure.

Key Results

  • Scalaron forms natural SU(2)_L doublet (geometric EWSB)
  • Yukawa hierarchies from geometric wave function overlaps
  • Massless photon and stable VEV from lattice validation
  • Explains Higgs mechanism from first principles
  • Natural suppression of FCNC processes
