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.

if their component doublets and are equal
Let and be two configurations in the two Higgs doublet model. If their first Higgs doublets are equal, , and their second Higgs doublets are equal, , then the configurations are identical, .
Action of the Standard Model gauge group on the two Higgs doublets
The group action (scalar multiplication) of the Standard Model gauge group on the two Higgs doublet configuration space is defined by acting on each doublet independently. For an element and a configuration , the action is given by: where the action on each individual doublet is . Here, acts via standard matrix-vector multiplication, acts as a complex phase multiplication raised to the third power, and the component acts trivially.
For any element of the Standard Model gauge group and any configuration in the Two Higgs Doublet Model, the first Higgs doublet component of the gauge-transformed configuration is equal to the gauge action of on the individual first doublet . That is, .
Gauge group action on the second Higgs doublet
For any element of the Standard Model gauge group and any configuration in the two Higgs doublet model (where ), the second doublet of the configuration resulting from the gauge group action is equal to the action of on the second doublet . That is, .
Group action of the Standard Model gauge group on
The definition establishes that the Standard Model gauge group (without discrete quotients) forms a group action on the configuration space of the two Higgs doublet model . 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 (), and the action is associative with respect to the group multiplication ().
