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.

Upper-triangular slice configuration of two-Higgs doublets

Given three complex numbers z,w0,w1Cz, w_0, w_1 \in \mathbb{C}, the upper-triangular slice configuration is a two-Higgs-doublet state (Φ1,Φ2)(\Phi_1, \Phi_2) defined by the doublets Φ1=(z0)\Phi_1 = \begin{pmatrix} z \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} and Φ2=(w0w1)\Phi_2 = \begin{pmatrix} w_0 \\ w_1 \end{pmatrix}. This configuration represents the gauge-fixed state where the first doublet is aligned with the first axis of the SU(2)SU(2) space.

theorem

The first doublet of the upper-triangular slice equals (z0)\begin{pmatrix} z \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}

For any complex numbers z,w0,w1Cz, w_0, w_1 \in \mathbb{C}, the first Higgs doublet Φ1\Phi_1 of the state defined by the upper-triangular slice sliceHiggs(z,w0,w1)\text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, w_1) is equal to the vector (z0)\begin{pmatrix} z \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}.

theorem

The second doublet Φ2\Phi_2 of the upper-triangular slice equals (w0w1)\begin{pmatrix} w_0 \\ w_1 \end{pmatrix}

For any complex numbers z,w0,w1Cz, w_0, w_1 \in \mathbb{C}, let the upper-triangular slice configuration of two Higgs doublets be denoted by sliceHiggs(z,w0,w1)=(Φ1,Φ2)\text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, w_1) = (\Phi_1, \Phi_2). This theorem states that the second Higgs doublet Φ2\Phi_2 in this configuration is the vector (w0w1)\begin{pmatrix} w_0 \\ w_1 \end{pmatrix}.

theorem

The first doublet of cHc \cdot H is cΦ1c \cdot \Phi_1 for cRc \in \mathbb{R}

Let H=(Φ1,Φ2)H = (\Phi_1, \Phi_2) be a configuration in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, where Φ1,Φ2C2\Phi_1, \Phi_2 \in \mathbb{C}^2 are the two Higgs doublets. For any real number cRc \in \mathbb{R}, the first doublet of the scalar product cHc \cdot H is equal to cΦ1c \cdot \Phi_1.

theorem

(cH).Φ2=cΦ2(c \cdot H).\Phi_2 = c \cdot \Phi_2 for real cc

In the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM), where a configuration H=(Φ1,Φ2)H = (\Phi_1, \Phi_2) consists of two complex doublets Φ1,Φ2C2\Phi_1, \Phi_2 \in \mathbb{C}^2, the second doublet of a configuration scaled by a real number cRc \in \mathbb{R} is equal to the scalar product of cc and the original second doublet. That is, (cH).Φ2=cΦ2(c \cdot H).\Phi_2 = c \cdot \Phi_2.

definition

Real-linear map to the upper-triangular Higgs slice

The function sliceR\text{sliceR} is a real-linear map from the space of six real parameters R6\mathbb{R}^6 to the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model space. For a vector a=(a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5)R6a = (a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5) \in \mathbb{R}^6, the map yields the doublet configuration (Φ1,Φ2)(\Phi_1, \Phi_2) defined by: Φ1=(a0+ia10),Φ2=(a2+ia3a4+ia5)\Phi_1 = \begin{pmatrix} a_0 + i a_1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \quad \Phi_2 = \begin{pmatrix} a_2 + i a_3 \\ a_4 + i a_5 \end{pmatrix} where ii is the imaginary unit. This map parameterizes the upper-triangular gauge slice by treating the components of the input vector as the real and imaginary parts of the three surviving complex field parameters.

theorem

sliceR(a)=sliceHiggs(a0+ia1,a2+ia3,a4+ia5)\text{sliceR}(a) = \text{sliceHiggs}(a_0 + i a_1, a_2 + i a_3, a_4 + i a_5)

For any vector of six real parameters a=(a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5)R6a = (a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5) \in \mathbb{R}^6, the real-linear map sliceR\text{sliceR} is equal to the upper-triangular slice configuration: sliceR(a)=sliceHiggs(a0+ia1,a2+ia3,a4+ia5) \text{sliceR}(a) = \text{sliceHiggs}(a_0 + i a_1, a_2 + i a_3, a_4 + i a_5) where ii is the imaginary unit and sliceHiggs(z,w0,w1)\text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, w_1) is the two-Higgs-doublet state defined by doublets Φ1=(z0)\Phi_1 = \begin{pmatrix} z \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} and Φ2=(w0w1)\Phi_2 = \begin{pmatrix} w_0 \\ w_1 \end{pmatrix}.

theorem

repHiggs(X)=sliceHiggs(X0,X1+iX2,X3)\text{repHiggs}(X) = \text{sliceHiggs}(X_0, X_1 + i X_2, X_3)

For any vector of four real parameters X=(X0,X1,X2,X3)R4X = (X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3) \in \mathbb{R}^4, the polynomial gauge orbit representative configuration repHiggs(X)\text{repHiggs}(X) is equal to the upper-triangular slice configuration sliceHiggs(z,w0,w1)\text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, w_1) with the complex parameters z=X0z = X_0, w0=X1+iX2w_0 = X_1 + i X_2, and w1=X3w_1 = X_3, where ii is the imaginary unit.

theorem

Action of the Cartan element gag_a on the Higgs slice: (z,w0,w1)(az,aw0,aˉw1)(z, w_0, w_1) \mapsto (az, aw_0, \bar{a}w_1)

For any complex phase aU(1)a \in U(1) and complex parameters z,w0,w1Cz, w_0, w_1 \in \mathbb{C}, the action of the Cartan element ga=(I3,diag(a,aˉ),1)g_a = (I_3, \operatorname{diag}(a, \bar{a}), 1) of the Standard Model gauge group on the upper-triangular Higgs doublet configuration sliceHiggs(z,w0,w1)=((z0),(w0w1))\text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, w_1) = \left( \begin{pmatrix} z \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} w_0 \\ w_1 \end{pmatrix} \right) is given by: gasliceHiggs(z,w0,w1)=sliceHiggs(az,aw0,aˉw1) g_a \cdot \text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, w_1) = \text{sliceHiggs}(a z, a w_0, \bar{a} w_1) where aˉ\bar{a} denotes the complex conjugate of aa. This transformation multiplies the first components of the doublets by aa and the perpendicular second component of the second doublet by aˉ\bar{a}.

theorem

Action of the residual U(1)U(1) subgroup on the Higgs slice scales w1w_1 by c6c^6

For any complex phase cU(1)c \in U(1) and any configuration on the upper-triangular gauge slice sliceHiggs(z,w0,w1)\text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, w_1), the action of the U(1)U(1) subgroup element ofU1Subgroup(c)\text{ofU1Subgroup}(c) is given by: ofU1Subgroup(c)sliceHiggs(z,w0,w1)=sliceHiggs(z,w0,c6w1)\text{ofU1Subgroup}(c) \cdot \text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, w_1) = \text{sliceHiggs}(z, w_0, c^6 w_1) This transformation leaves the first two complex components zz and w0w_0 invariant and multiplies the third ("perpendicular") component w1w_1 by the phase c6c^6.

definition

Rotation of 6D real parameters by the Cartan phase uu

Given a phase uU(1)Cu \in U(1) \subset \mathbb{C} and a vector of six real parameters a=(a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5)R6a = (a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5) \in \mathbb{R}^6 representing the field components on the gauge slice, this function returns a new vector in R6\mathbb{R}^6. The transformation corresponds to rotating the three complex pairs formed by the real parameters: - The first pair (a0,a1)(a_0, a_1) is treated as a complex number z0=a0+ia1z_0 = a_0 + i a_1 and multiplied by uu. - The second pair (a2,a3)(a_2, a_3) is treated as z1=a2+ia3z_1 = a_2 + i a_3 and multiplied by uu. - The third ("perpendicular") pair (a4,a5)(a_4, a_5) is treated as z2=a4+ia5z_2 = a_4 + i a_5 and multiplied by the complex conjugate uˉ\bar{u}. The resulting vector is (Re(uz0),Im(uz0),Re(uz1),Im(uz1),Re(uˉz2),Im(uˉz2))(\text{Re}(u z_0), \text{Im}(u z_0), \text{Re}(u z_1), \text{Im}(u z_1), \text{Re}(\bar{u} z_2), \text{Im}(\bar{u} z_2)).

theorem

The Action of gaugeCartan(u)\text{gaugeCartan}(u) on the Higgs Slice is a Parameter Rotation cartanRotParam(u,a)\text{cartanRotParam}(u, a)

For any complex phase uU(1)Cu \in U(1) \subset \mathbb{C} and any vector of six real parameters aR6a \in \mathbb{R}^6, the action of the SU(2)SU(2) Cartan element gaugeCartan(u)=(I3,diag(u,uˉ),1)\text{gaugeCartan}(u) = (I_3, \text{diag}(u, \bar{u}), 1) on the Higgs configuration sliceR(a)\text{sliceR}(a) is equivalent to the Higgs configuration defined by the rotated parameters cartanRotParam(u,a)\text{cartanRotParam}(u, a). That is, gaugeCartan(u)sliceR(a)=sliceR(cartanRotParam(u,a))\text{gaugeCartan}(u) \cdot \text{sliceR}(a) = \text{sliceR}(\text{cartanRotParam}(u, a)) where sliceR\text{sliceR} maps the parameters to the upper-triangular gauge slice of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model.

definition

Rotation of the parameter vector aR6a \in \mathbb{R}^6 by the residual U(1)U(1) phase c6c^6

Given a phase cU(1)c \in U(1) and a vector of six real parameters aR6a \in \mathbb{R}^6, this function leaves the first four components (a0,a1,a2,a3)(a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3) invariant and rotates the complex number formed by the last two components a4+ia5a_4 + i a_5 by the phase c6c^6. Specifically, the output is the vector (a0,a1,a2,a3,Re(c6(a4+ia5)),Im(c6(a4+ia5)))(a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, \text{Re}(c^6(a_4 + i a_5)), \text{Im}(c^6(a_4 + i a_5))), where ii is the imaginary unit.

theorem

The residual U(1)U(1) action on the Higgs slice rotates the perpendicular pair by c6c^6

Let cU(1)c \in U(1) be a unitary complex number and a=(a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5)R6a = (a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5) \in \mathbb{R}^6 be a vector of parameters. Let sliceR(a)\text{sliceR}(a) be the configuration of two Higgs doublets (Φ1,Φ2)(\Phi_1, \Phi_2) defined by the upper-triangular gauge slice: Φ1=(a0+ia10),Φ2=(a2+ia3a4+ia5)\Phi_1 = \begin{pmatrix} a_0 + i a_1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \quad \Phi_2 = \begin{pmatrix} a_2 + i a_3 \\ a_4 + i a_5 \end{pmatrix} The action of the residual U(1)U(1) gauge group element g(c)g(c) (defined by the inclusion U(1)SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)U(1) \to SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)) on this configuration is equivalent to rotating the parameter vector aa such that the first four components (a0,a1,a2,a3)(a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3) remain invariant and the complex number formed by the last two components a4+ia5a_4 + i a_5 is rotated by the phase c6c^6. That is, g(c)sliceR(a)=sliceR(a0,a1,a2,a3,Re(c6(a4+ia5)),Im(c6(a4+ia5))).g(c) \cdot \text{sliceR}(a) = \text{sliceR}(a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, \text{Re}(c^6(a_4 + i a_5)), \text{Im}(c^6(a_4 + i a_5))).
