The gauge slice and the hypercharges of the doublet components
After using `SU(2)` to align the first doublet with the first axis, a configuration lies on the *upper-triangular slice* `sliceHiggs z w₀ w₁ = ⟨(z, 0), (w₀, w₁)⟩`. The gauge torus acts on the three surviving components `z = Φ1₀`, `w₀ = Φ2₀`, `w₁ = Φ2₁` by their hypercharges:
* the Cartan phase `a` multiplies the *first* components `z, w₀` (and conjugates the would-be second component of `Φ1`, which vanishes here), giving `(z, w₀, w₁) ↦ (a z, a w₀, ā w₁)`; * the residual `U(1)` (`ofU1Subgroup c`) multiplies the *second* component `w₁` by `c⁶`, giving `(z, w₀, w₁) ↦ (z, w₀, c⁶ w₁)`.
These two phase rotations are the source of the charge balancing of the effective potential.
