The Two Higgs Doublet Model

The two Higgs doublet model is the standard model plus an additional Higgs doublet.

i. Overview

The two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is an extension of the Standard Model which adds a second Higgs doublet.

theorem

H1=H2H_1 = H_2 if their component doublets Φ1\Phi_1 and Φ2\Phi_2 are equal

Let H1H_1 and H2H_2 be two configurations in the two Higgs doublet model. If their first Higgs doublets are equal, H1.Φ1=H2.Φ1H_1.\Phi_1 = H_2.\Phi_1, and their second Higgs doublets are equal, H1.Φ2=H2.Φ2H_1.\Phi_2 = H_2.\Phi_2, then the configurations are identical, H1=H2H_1 = H_2.

Action of the Standard Model gauge group on the two Higgs doublets (Φ1,Φ2)(\Phi_1, \Phi_2)

The group action (scalar multiplication) of the Standard Model gauge group G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) on the two Higgs doublet configuration space H=(Φ1,Φ2)H = (\Phi_1, \Phi_2) is defined by acting on each doublet independently. For an element g=(g3,g2,g1)Gg = (g_3, g_2, g_1) \in \mathcal{G} and a configuration H=(Φ1,Φ2)C2×C2H = (\Phi_1, \Phi_2) \in \mathbb{C}^2 \times \mathbb{C}^2, the action is given by: g(Φ1,Φ2)=(gΦ1,gΦ2) g \cdot (\Phi_1, \Phi_2) = (g \cdot \Phi_1, g \cdot \Phi_2) where the action on each individual doublet Φi\Phi_i is gΦi=g13(g2Φi)g \cdot \Phi_i = g_1^3 (g_2 \Phi_i). Here, g2SU(2)g_2 \in SU(2) acts via standard matrix-vector multiplication, g1U(1)g_1 \in U(1) acts as a complex phase multiplication raised to the third power, and the SU(3)SU(3) component g3g_3 acts trivially.

theorem

(gH).Φ1=gΦ1(g \cdot H).\Phi_1 = g \cdot \Phi_1

For any element gg of the Standard Model gauge group G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) and any configuration H=(Φ1,Φ2)H = (\Phi_1, \Phi_2) in the Two Higgs Doublet Model, the first Higgs doublet component of the gauge-transformed configuration gHg \cdot H is equal to the gauge action of gg on the individual first doublet Φ1\Phi_1. That is, (gH).Φ1=gΦ1(g \cdot H).\Phi_1 = g \cdot \Phi_1.

theorem

Gauge group action on the second Higgs doublet (gH)2=gΦ2(g \cdot H)_2 = g \cdot \Phi_2

For any element gg of the Standard Model gauge group G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) and any configuration H=(Φ1,Φ2)H = (\Phi_1, \Phi_2) in the two Higgs doublet model (where Φ1,Φ2C2\Phi_1, \Phi_2 \in \mathbb{C}^2), the second doublet of the configuration resulting from the gauge group action gHg \cdot H is equal to the action of gg on the second doublet Φ2\Phi_2. That is, (gH)2=gΦ2(g \cdot H)_2 = g \cdot \Phi_2.

Group action of the Standard Model gauge group on (Φ1,Φ2)(\Phi_1, \Phi_2)

The definition establishes that the Standard Model gauge group G=SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)\mathcal{G} = SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1) (without discrete quotients) forms a group action on the configuration space of the two Higgs doublet model H=(Φ1,Φ2)C2×C2H = (\Phi_1, \Phi_2) \in \mathbb{C}^2 \times \mathbb{C}^2. Specifically, it proves that the scalar multiplication defined for this system satisfies the required axioms: the identity element of the gauge group acts as the identity map on the doublets (1H=H1 \cdot H = H), and the action is associative with respect to the group multiplication ((g1g2)H=g1(g2H)(g_1 g_2) \cdot H = g_1 \cdot (g_2 \cdot H)).
