The two Higgs doublet potential as a polynomial in the gauge invariants

i. Overview

In the *bilinear formalism* of the two Higgs doublet model (hep-ph/0605184) the four gauge-invariant bilinears — the Gram vector `gramVector` — describe the gauge orbits of the configuration space. This file proves the corresponding statement for the potential: every gauge-invariant polynomial effective potential is a polynomial in these four gauge-invariant bilinears.

The proof gauge-fixes the potential to the polynomial family of orbit representatives `repHiggs X` and runs the following physical pipeline:

1. **Charge balancing.** Invariance under the gauge torus forces the potential, written in hypercharge eigen-coordinates, to be supported only on hypercharge-neutral monomials. 2. **Generation.** Every neutral monomial is a product of the five neutral gauge-invariant quadratic bilinears, so the potential is a polynomial in them. 3. **Clearing the norms.** A power of `‖Φ1‖²` (resp. `‖Φ2‖²`, via the doublet swap) times the potential is a genuine polynomial in the Gram vector. 4. **Coprimality.** `‖Φ1‖²` and `‖Φ2‖²` are coprime in the (algebraically independent) Gram ring, which removes these factors and yields the Gram polynomial.

Mathematically the result is the first fundamental theorem of invariant theory for `SU(2)` acting on two doublets in `ℂ²`.

A. Gauge-torus invariance of the potential on the slice

Invariance of the potential under the gauge torus forces the slice polynomial `P` to be invariant under the hypercharge rotations of its variables: the Cartan rotation `cartanSubst` and the residual `U(1)` rotation `residualSubst`.

B. Hypercharge eigen-coordinates and charge balancing

Changing to hypercharge eigen-coordinates `z, z̄, w₀, w̄₀, w₁, w̄₁` diagonalises the gauge-torus rotation into a scaling by the hypercharges `cartanCharge` (Cartan) and `hyperCharge` (residual). Feeding an infinite-order phase into the invariance from part A shows that every monomial of the potential carrying nonzero hypercharge has vanishing coefficient.

C. Generation by the neutral gauge-invariant bilinears

The hypercharge-neutral monomials of `Qslice P` are exactly the products of the five neutral quadratic bilinears `z z̄, w₀ w̄₀, z w̄₀, z̄ w₀, w₁ w̄₁` — the gauge invariants. This is the (abelian)generation step: combined Cartan- and residual-neutrality of a monomial forces it to be a product of these five, because every charged variable carries a unit Cartan charge and the residual charges come in an exact `±1` pair.

D. The potential on representatives as a polynomial in the bilinears

Evaluating at the hypercharge eigen-point of a representative `repHiggs X`, and descending from the complex value back to its real part, turns the generation result of part C into the statement that the value `V (repHiggs X)` is a polynomial in the five real gauge-invariant bilinears `‖Φ1‖², Re⟪⟫, Im⟪⟫, |Φ2₀|², |Φ2₁|²`.

E. Clearing the `‖Φ1‖²` and `‖Φ2‖²` factors

Part D expresses the value as a polynomial in the bilinears, but two of them — `|Φ2₀|²` and `|Φ2₁|²` — are not directly Gram polynomials. Multiplying by a power of `‖Φ1‖²` clears these; the doublet swap of `SwapDoublet` then gives the mirror statement with `‖Φ2‖²`.

F. Independence and coprimality of the Gram invariants

The four Gram invariants are algebraically independent (`gramPoly_injective`), and the two linear combinations `‖Φ1‖² = (g₀+g₃)/2` and `‖Φ2‖² = (g₀-g₃)/2` are coprime in the Gram ring (`uPow_dvd`). Together these let the `‖Φ1‖²` and `‖Φ2‖²` factors be cancelled.

G. The gauge-invariant potential as a polynomial in the Gram vector

Every configuration is gauge equivalent to a representative `repHiggs X` (`exists_smul_eq_repHiggs`) whose Gram vector is polynomial in the parameters (`gramVector_repHiggs_*`). Combining the two norm clearings of part E with the coprimality of part F removes the `‖Φ1‖²`/`‖Φ2‖²` factors and produces the Gram polynomial on representatives (`exists_polynomial_on_repHiggs`); gauge invariance then transports it to all configurations.

theorem

evalx(aevalfG)=evalevalxfG\text{eval}_x (\text{aeval}_f G) = \text{eval}_{\text{eval}_x \circ f} G

Let RR be a commutative ring and let ι\iota and κ\kappa be index sets. Given a point x:ιRx: \iota \to R, a collection of multivariate polynomials f:κR[Xi]iιf: \kappa \to R[X_i]_{i \in \iota}, and a multivariate polynomial GR[Yk]kκG \in R[Y_k]_{k \in \kappa}, the evaluation of the substituted polynomial aevalfG\text{aeval}_f G at the point xx is equal to the evaluation of GG at the point in RκR^\kappa defined by the evaluations of each fkf_k at xx. Mathematically, this is expressed as: evalx(aevalfG)=evalkevalx(fk)G\text{eval}_x (\text{aeval}_f G) = \text{eval}_{k \mapsto \text{eval}_x(f_k)} G where aevalfG\text{aeval}_f G denotes the polynomial substitution of the family ff into GG.

definition

Cartan hypercharge rotation substitution uu

For a unitary complex number u=a+biCu = a + bi \in \mathbb{C} (where a,bRa, b \in \mathbb{R} and a2+b2=1a^2 + b^2 = 1), this function defines the Cartan hypercharge rotation of the slice parameters as a substitution of variables in the polynomial ring R[X0,,X5]\mathbb{R}[X_0, \dots, X_5]. Specifically, it maps each index j{0,,5}j \in \{0, \dots, 5\} to a polynomial as follows: - 0aX0bX10 \mapsto a X_0 - b X_1 - 1bX0+aX11 \mapsto b X_0 + a X_1 - 2aX2bX32 \mapsto a X_2 - b X_3 - 3bX2+aX33 \mapsto b X_2 + a X_3 - 4aX4+bX54 \mapsto a X_4 + b X_5 - 5aX5bX45 \mapsto a X_5 - b X_4 This substitution represents the action of the Cartan subgroup of the gauge group on the configuration space of the two Higgs doublet model, expressed in real and imaginary parts of the field components.

theorem

Evaluation of Cartan Substitution Equals Cartan Parameter Rotation

For a unitary complex number uU(1)u \in U(1) and a vector of six real parameters a=(a0,,a5)R6\mathbf{a} = (a_0, \dots, a_5) \in \mathbb{R}^6, evaluating the Cartan hypercharge rotation substitution polynomials cartanSubst(u)\text{cartanSubst}(u) at the point a\mathbf{a} is equivalent to the rotation of the parameters a\mathbf{a} by the phase uu. Mathematically, for each index k{0,,5}k \in \{0, \dots, 5\}: evala(cartanSubst(u)k)=cartanRotParam(u,a)k\text{eval}_{\mathbf{a}}(\text{cartanSubst}(u)_k) = \text{cartanRotParam}(u, \mathbf{a})_k where cartanSubst(u)\text{cartanSubst}(u) is the substitution mapping variables to the rotated coordinates, and cartanRotParam(u,a)\text{cartanRotParam}(u, \mathbf{a}) is the vector resulting from rotating the components of a\mathbf{a} by uu.

theorem

Gauge-Invariant Potential implies Cartan-Invariant Slice Polynomial

Let VV be a gauge-invariant effective potential in the Two Higgs Doublet Model. If the restriction of VV to the upper-triangular gauge slice defined by the map sliceR:R6TwoHiggsDoublet\text{sliceR}: \mathbb{R}^6 \to \text{TwoHiggsDoublet} is represented by a multivariate polynomial PR[X0,,X5]P \in \mathbb{R}[X_0, \dots, X_5] such that V(sliceR(a))=P(a)V(\text{sliceR}(a)) = P(a) for all aR6a \in \mathbb{R}^6, then for any complex phase uU(1)u \in U(1), the polynomial PP is invariant under the variable substitution cartanSubst(u)\text{cartanSubst}(u) corresponding to the Cartan hypercharge rotation. That is, aeval(cartanSubst(u),P)=P\text{aeval}(\text{cartanSubst}(u), P) = P.

definition

Residual U(1)U(1) rotation substitution of parameters

For a unitary complex number cU(1)c \in U(1), this function defines a substitution for the variables X0,,X5X_0, \dots, X_5 of a multivariate polynomial over R\mathbb{R}. The substitution leaves the first four variables invariant and rotates the last two by the phase of c6c^6: - XiXiX_i \mapsto X_i for i{0,1,2,3}i \in \{0, 1, 2, 3\} - X4Re(c6)X4Im(c6)X5X_4 \mapsto \text{Re}(c^6) X_4 - \text{Im}(c^6) X_5 - X5Im(c6)X4+Re(c6)X5X_5 \mapsto \text{Im}(c^6) X_4 + \text{Re}(c^6) X_5 This represents the residual U(1)U(1) gauge rotation acting on the perpendicular parameters of the two Higgs doublet potential slice.

theorem

The evaluation of the residual rotation substitution equals the rotated parameter vector

For a phase cU(1)c \in U(1) and a vector of six real parameters a=(a0,,a5)R6a = (a_0, \dots, a_5) \in \mathbb{R}^6, the evaluation of the six polynomials defined by the residual U(1)U(1) rotation substitution residualSubst(c)\text{residualSubst}(c) at the point aa is equal to the rotated parameter vector resRotParam(c,a)\text{resRotParam}(c, a). Specifically, this identity holds for each component k{0,,5}k \in \{0, \dots, 5\}, where the substitution leaves the first four components invariant and rotates the complex combination of the last two components by the phase c6c^6, resulting in 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))).

theorem

Gauge Invariance of VV implies U(1)U(1)-Invariance of the Slice Polynomial PP

Let VV be a gauge-invariant effective potential in the two-Higgs-doublet model. Let PR[X0,X1,X2,X3,X4,X5]P \in \mathbb{R}[X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5] be a real multivariate polynomial that represents the potential on the upper-triangular gauge slice, satisfying V(sliceR(a))=P(a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5)V(\text{sliceR}(a)) = P(a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5) for any parameter vector aR6a \in \mathbb{R}^6. Then, for any complex phase cU(1)c \in U(1), the polynomial PP is invariant under the substitution defined by the residual U(1)U(1) rotation residualSubst(c)\text{residualSubst}(c), which is expressed as aeval(residualSubst(c))P=P\text{aeval}(\text{residualSubst}(c)) P = P.

definition

Real coordinates aka_k in terms of hypercharge eigen-coordinates

This function defines the transformation of the six real coordinates aka_k (for k{0,,5}k \in \{0, \dots, 5\}) into polynomials in the complex hypercharge eigen-coordinates z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1, represented by the variables X0,,X5X_0, \dots, X_5. The mapping is defined as: - a0=12(X0+X1)a_0 = \frac{1}{2}(X_0 + X_1) - a1=12i(X0X1)a_1 = \frac{1}{2i}(X_0 - X_1) - a2=12(X2+X3)a_2 = \frac{1}{2}(X_2 + X_3) - a3=12i(X2X3)a_3 = \frac{1}{2i}(X_2 - X_3) - a4=12(X4+X5)a_4 = \frac{1}{2}(X_4 + X_5) - a5=12i(X4X5)a_5 = \frac{1}{2i}(X_4 - X_5) This coordinate change diagonalizes the gauge-torus rotation into a scaling.

definition

Diagonal Cartan transformation by uU(1)u \in U(1)

Given a unitary complex number uu, this function defines the diagonal action of the Cartan gauge subgroup on the six hypercharge eigen-coordinates X0,,X5X_0, \dots, X_5 of the multivariate polynomial ring C[X0,,X5]\mathbb{C}[X_0, \dots, X_5]. It maps the indices to the polynomials (uX0,uˉX1,uX2,uˉX3,uˉX4,uX5)(u X_0, \bar{u} X_1, u X_2, \bar{u} X_3, \bar{u} X_4, u X_5) respectively, where uˉ\bar{u} is the complex conjugate of uu, corresponding to the Cartan charges (1,1,1,1,1,1)(1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1).

definition

Diagonal residual U(1)U(1) transformation on eigen-coordinates

Given a unitary complex number cU(1)c \in U(1), this definition describes the diagonal action of the residual U(1)U(1) gauge transformation on the six hypercharge eigen-coordinates represented by the variables X0,,X5X_0, \dots, X_5 in the multivariate polynomial ring C[X0,,X5]\mathbb{C}[X_0, \dots, X_5]. The transformation leaves the first four coordinates X0,X1,X2,X3X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3 invariant, while the "perpendicular pair" X4X_4 and X5X_5 are scaled by c6c^6 and its conjugate cˉ6\bar{c}^6 respectively: (X0,X1,X2,X3,X4,X5)(X0,X1,X2,X3,c6X4,cˉ6X5) (X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5) \mapsto (X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3, c^6 X_4, \bar{c}^6 X_5)

theorem

Cartan Rotation Identity for Hypercharge Eigen-coordinates

For a unitary complex number uCu \in \mathbb{C} (representing an element of the gauge torus), let HkC[X0,,X5]H_k \in \mathbb{C}[X_0, \dots, X_5] be the polynomial defined by `hyperchargeEigen` that expresses the kk-th real coordinate aka_k (for k{0,,5}k \in \{0, \dots, 5\}) in terms of the complex hypercharge eigen-coordinates (z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1)(z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1). Let DuD_u be the diagonal Cartan transformation that scales these eigen-coordinates by their respective hypercharges, and let RuR_u be the Cartan rotation substitution acting on the real coordinates. The theorem states that applying the diagonal scaling DuD_u to the eigen-coordinates within the transformation HkH_k is equivalent to first applying the real Cartan rotation RuR_u and then converting the resulting real polynomials into the eigen-basis: bind1(Du)(Hk)=bind1(H)(Ru)k\text{bind}_1 (D_u) (H_k) = \text{bind}_1 (H) (R_u)_k In other words, the diagonal Cartan scaling on the eigen-coordinates is the pullback of the Cartan rotation on the real coordinates through the eigen-coordinate transformation.

theorem

Residual U(1)U(1) gauge action commutes with hypercharge eigen-coordinate mapping

For any unitary complex number cU(1)c \in U(1) and any coordinate index k{0,,5}k \in \{0, \dots, 5\}, the following identity holds regarding the transformation of the two-Higgs-doublet parameters into hypercharge eigen-coordinates: bind1(diagRes(c))(hyperchargeEigen(k))=bind1(hyperchargeEigen)(residualSubst(c,k)) \text{bind}_1 (\text{diagRes}(c)) (\text{hyperchargeEigen}(k)) = \text{bind}_1 (\text{hyperchargeEigen}) (\text{residualSubst}(c, k)) Here, hyperchargeEigen\text{hyperchargeEigen} is the mapping that expresses the real coordinates aka_k as polynomials in the complex eigen-coordinates (z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1)(z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1). The term diagRes(c)\text{diagRes}(c) denotes the diagonal action of the residual U(1)U(1) gauge group on these eigen-coordinates (scaling the perpendicular pair w1,wˉ1w_1, \bar{w}_1 by c6c^6 and cˉ6\bar{c}^6 respectively), while residualSubst(c)\text{residualSubst}(c) represents the rotation of the real parameters a4a_4 and a5a_5 by the phase of c6c^6. The identity states that applying the gauge transformation directly to the eigen-coordinate representation is equivalent to transforming the rotated real parameters.

definition

Cartan charges of the coordinates (z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1)(z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1)

The function cartanCharge:{0,1,2,3,4,5}Z\text{cartanCharge}: \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\} \to \mathbb{Z} assigns a Cartan charge to each of the six hypercharge eigen-coordinates (z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1)(z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1). The charges are given by the vector (1,1,1,1,1,1)(1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1).

definition

Residual U(1)U(1) hypercharges of eigen-coordinates (0,0,0,0,1,1)(0, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)

The residual U(1)U(1) hypercharges assigned to the six hypercharge eigen-coordinates, indexed by k{0,1,,5}k \in \{0, 1, \dots, 5\}. The charges are defined by the sequence (0,0,0,0,1,1)(0, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1), where only the final two coordinates (the "perpendicular pair") carry non-zero charges.

definition

Complexified slice potential in hypercharge eigen-coordinates

This function takes a real multivariate polynomial PR[a0,,a5]P \in \mathbb{R}[a_0, \dots, a_5], representing the effective potential on the configuration slice of the two Higgs doublet model, and returns a complex multivariate polynomial in the hypercharge eigen-coordinates (z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1)(z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1). The transformation is performed by complexifying the coefficients of PP and substituting each real variable aka_k with its representation in terms of the eigen-coordinates X0,,X5X_0, \dots, X_5 as defined by the `hyperchargeEigen` coordinate change.

theorem

The Diagonal Cartan Transformation scales XiX_i by ucartanCharge(i)u^{\text{cartanCharge}(i)}

For any unitary complex number uU(1)u \in U(1), the diagonal Cartan transformation diagCartan(u)\text{diagCartan}(u) is defined as the map that sends each coordinate index i{0,,5}i \in \{0, \dots, 5\} to the polynomial: diagCartan(u)(i)=ucartanCharge(i)Xi\text{diagCartan}(u)(i) = u^{\text{cartanCharge}(i)} X_i where XiX_i is the ii-th variable of the multivariate polynomial ring C[X0,,X5]\mathbb{C}[X_0, \dots, X_5], and cartanCharge(i)\text{cartanCharge}(i) is the ii-th element of the Cartan charge vector (1,1,1,1,1,1)(1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1).

theorem

Explicit action of the residual U(1)U(1) transformation diagRes(c)\text{diagRes}(c) on eigen-coordinates

For any unit complex number cU(1)c \in U(1), the residual diagonal gauge transformation diagRes(c)\text{diagRes}(c) on the hypercharge eigen-coordinates XiX_i (for i{0,,5}i \in \{0, \dots, 5\}) is given by the scaling Xi(c6)yiXiX_i \mapsto (c^6)^{y_i} X_i, where yiy_i is the ii-th residual U(1)U(1) hypercharge.

theorem

Gauge Invariance of VV implies Cartan Invariance of the Slice Potential Qslice(P)Q_{\text{slice}}(P)

Let VV be a gauge-invariant effective potential for the two-Higgs-doublet model. Suppose PR[a0,,a5]P \in \mathbb{R}[a_0, \dots, a_5] is a real multivariate polynomial that represents VV on the upper-triangular Higgs slice, such that V(sliceR(a))=P(a)V(\text{sliceR}(a)) = P(a) for all aR6a \in \mathbb{R}^6. For any unitary complex number uU(1)u \in U(1), the complexified slice potential Qslice(P)Q_{\text{slice}}(P) in the hypercharge eigen-coordinates is invariant under the diagonal Cartan transformation diagCartan(u)\text{diagCartan}(u), which scales the ii-th coordinate by ucartanCharge(i)u^{\text{cartanCharge}(i)}.

theorem

Invariance of the complexified slice potential Qslice(P)Q_{\text{slice}}(P) under residual U(1)U(1) transformations

Let VV be a gauge-invariant effective potential in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model. Suppose PR[a0,,a5]P \in \mathbb{R}[a_0, \dots, a_5] is a real multivariate polynomial that represents the potential on the configuration slice, such that V(sliceR(a))=P(a)V(\text{sliceR}(a)) = P(a) for all aR6a \in \mathbb{R}^6. Then for any unitary complex number cU(1)c \in U(1), the complexified slice potential Qslice(P)Q_{\text{slice}}(P) expressed in hypercharge eigen-coordinates is invariant under the residual U(1)U(1) gauge transformation diagRes(c)\text{diagRes}(c), which is to say that the operation of diagRes(c)\text{diagRes}(c) on the polynomial leaves it unchanged.

theorem

There exists an element of infinite order in U(1)U(1)

There exists a unitary complex number ωU(1)\omega \in U(1) (that is, ωC\omega \in \mathbb{C} such that ω=1|\omega| = 1) with infinite order. Specifically, for any integer nZn \in \mathbb{Z}, if ωn=1\omega^n = 1, then n=0n = 0.

theorem

Gauge Invariance Implies Vanishing Coefficients for Charged Monomials in the Slice Potential Qslice(P)Q_{\text{slice}}(P)

Consider a gauge-invariant effective potential VV for the two-Higgs-doublet model. Let PR[a0,,a5]P \in \mathbb{R}[a_0, \dots, a_5] be a real multivariate polynomial such that V(sliceR(a))=P(a)V(\text{sliceR}(a)) = P(a) for all aR6a \in \mathbb{R}^6, where sliceR\text{sliceR} is the map to the upper-triangular gauge slice. Let Qslice(P)Q_{\text{slice}}(P) be the complexified polynomial expressed in the hypercharge eigen-coordinates (z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1)(z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1). For any monomial mm with exponents miNm_i \in \mathbb{N} (for i=0,,5i = 0, \dots, 5), if the total Cartan charge i=05micartanChargei0\sum_{i=0}^5 m_i \cdot \text{cartanCharge}_i \neq 0 or the total residual hypercharge i=05mihyperChargei0\sum_{i=0}^5 m_i \cdot \text{hyperCharge}_i \neq 0, then the coefficient of mm in Qslice(P)Q_{\text{slice}}(P) is zero.

definition

Hypercharge-neutral quadratic bilinears in eigen-coordinates

This definition provides a sequence of five quadratic polynomials in six variables over the complex numbers C\mathbb{C}. These polynomials represent the hypercharge-neutral bilinears expressed in hypercharge eigen-coordinates (X0,X1,X2,X3,X4,X5)(X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5), which correspond to (z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1)(z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1). The five polynomials are: 1. X0X1X_0 X_1 (representing zzˉz \bar{z}) 2. X2X3X_2 X_3 (representing w0wˉ0w_0 \bar{w}_0) 3. X0X3X_0 X_3 (representing zwˉ0z \bar{w}_0) 4. X1X2X_1 X_2 (representing zˉw0\bar{z} w_0) 5. X4X5X_4 X_5 (representing w1wˉ1w_1 \bar{w}_1)

theorem

imiwi=isupp(m)miwi\sum_i m_i w_i = \sum_{i \in \text{supp}(m)} m_i w_i

Let w:{0,,5}Zw: \{0, \dots, 5\} \to \mathbb{Z} be an assignment of charges to the indices of a polynomial, and let mm be a monomial represented by its exponents miNm_i \in \mathbb{N}. The total charge of the monomial, calculated by summing the products of the exponents and charges over all indices, is equal to the sum restricted to the support of the monomial (the indices where mi0m_i \neq 0): i=05miwi=isupp(m)miwi\sum_{i=0}^5 m_i w_i = \sum_{i \in \text{supp}(m)} m_i w_i

theorem

Additivity of total charge for monomials

Let wZ6w \in \mathbb{Z}^6 be a vector of weights (representing charges) associated with six variables. For any two exponent vectors a,bN6a, b \in \mathbb{N}^6 representing monomials, the total charge of the product monomial is the sum of the total charges of the individual monomials: k=05(ak+bk)wk=(k=05akwk)+k=05bkwk\sum_{k=0}^5 (a_k + b_k) w_k = \left( \sum_{k=0}^5 a_k w_k \right) + \sum_{k=0}^5 b_k w_k

theorem

The total charge of a single generator is the charge of its corresponding variable

Given a weight vector w:{0,,5}Zw: \{0, \dots, 5\} \to \mathbb{Z} and an index i{0,,5}i \in \{0, \dots, 5\}, the total charge of a monomial consisting of a single power of the ii-th variable—represented by the multi-index m=single(i,1)m = \text{single}(i, 1)—is equal to the charge of that variable: k=05mkwk=wi\sum_{k=0}^5 m_k w_k = w_i where mk=1m_k = 1 if k=ik = i and mk=0m_k = 0 otherwise.

theorem

Hypercharge-Neutral Monomials are Generated by Neutral Bilinears

In the context of the two Higgs doublet model, let (X0,X1,X2,X3,X4,X5)(X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5) represent the hypercharge eigen-coordinates (z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1)(z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1). A monomial M=i=05XimiM = \prod_{i=0}^5 X_i^{m_i} is considered hypercharge-neutral if it satisfies two conditions: 1. The total Cartan charge vanishes: i=05miQiC=0\sum_{i=0}^5 m_i Q^C_i = 0, where QC=(1,1,1,1,1,1)Q^C = (1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1). 2. The total residual U(1)U(1) hypercharge vanishes: i=05miQiH=0\sum_{i=0}^5 m_i Q^H_i = 0, where QH=(0,0,0,0,1,1)Q^H = (0, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1). The theorem states that every such hypercharge-neutral monomial belongs to the subalgebra over C\mathbb{C} generated by the five neutral quadratic bilinears: - B1=zzˉB_1 = z \bar{z} - B2=w0wˉ0B_2 = w_0 \bar{w}_0 - B3=zwˉ0B_3 = z \bar{w}_0 - B4=zˉw0B_4 = \bar{z} w_0 - B5=w1wˉ1B_5 = w_1 \bar{w}_1 Effectively, this means every hypercharge-neutral monomial can be written as a product of these five bilinears.

For a given vector X=(X0,X1,X2,X3)R4X = (X_0, X_1, X_2, X_3) \in \mathbb{R}^4 representing the gauge-invariant bilinears (the Gram vector), this function returns the 6-tuple of real slice parameters (X0,0,X1,X2,X3,0)(X_0, 0, X_1, X_2, X_3, 0). These parameters are used to define the specific Higgs field configuration repHiggs(X)\text{repHiggs}(X) that acts as a representative for the gauge orbit corresponding to XX.

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 Higgs configuration repHiggs(X)\text{repHiggs}(X) is identical to the configuration obtained by applying the real-linear slice map sliceR\text{sliceR} to the six-tuple of parameters aRep(X)=(X0,0,X1,X2,X3,0)\text{aRep}(X) = (X_0, 0, X_1, X_2, X_3, 0). This shows that the polynomial family of orbit representatives used to describe the gauge orbits in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model is a subset of the general upper-triangular gauge slice.

Let hyperchargeEigenk\text{hyperchargeEigen}_k be the polynomial that expresses the kk-th real coordinate aka_k in terms of the complex eigen-coordinates z,zˉ,w0,wˉ0,w1,wˉ1z, \bar{z}, w_0, \bar{w}_0, w_1, \bar{w}_1. Then, evaluating the kk-th polynomial hyperchargeEigenk\text{hyperchargeEigen}_k at the point eigenPoint(X)\text{eigenPoint}(X) yields the kk-th component of the slice parameters, i.e., eval(eigenPoint(X),hyperchargeEigenk)=aRep(X)k \text{eval}(\text{eigenPoint}(X), \text{hyperchargeEigen}_k) = \text{aRep}(X)_k for all k{0,,5}k \in \{0, \dots, 5\}.

Let PR[a0,,a5]P \in \mathbb{R}[a_0, \dots, a_5] be a real multivariate polynomial representing the potential on the configuration slice. For any vector XR4X \in \mathbb{R}^4 representing the gauge-invariant bilinears, let aRep(X)R6\text{aRep}(X) \in \mathbb{R}^6 be the vector of slice parameters and eigenPoint(X)C6\text{eigenPoint}(X) \in \mathbb{C}^6 be the hypercharge eigen-point. Let QslicePQ_{\text{slice}} P be the complexification of PP expressed in hypercharge eigen-coordinates. Then, evaluating QslicePQ_{\text{slice}} P at the point eigenPoint(X)\text{eigenPoint}(X) yields the same value as evaluating PP at the point aRep(X)\text{aRep}(X), specifically: eval(eigenPoint(X),QsliceP)=P(aRep(X)) \text{eval}(\text{eigenPoint}(X), Q_{\text{slice}} P) = P(\text{aRep}(X)) where the real result of P(aRep(X))P(\text{aRep}(X)) is embedded into the complex numbers.

theorem

Neutral Bilinears at the Eigen-point as Polynomials in Real Gauge-Invariant Bilinears

Let XR4X \in \mathbb{R}^4 be a vector parameterizing a configuration on the gauge-fixing slice of the two Higgs doublet model.

Let neutralBilineari\text{neutralBilinear}_i (for i=0,,4i=0, \dots, 4) be the five complex hypercharge-neutral quadratic bilinears: (zzˉ, w0wˉ0, zwˉ0, zˉw0, w1wˉ1). (z \bar{z}, \ w_0 \bar{w}_0, \ z \bar{w}_0, \ \bar{z} w_0, \ w_1 \bar{w}_1).

Coprimality of Φ12\|\Phi_1\|^2 and Φ22\|\Phi_2\|^2 in the Gram Ring

In the multivariate polynomial ring R[g0,g1,g2,g3]\mathbb{R}[g_0, g_1, g_2, g_3] representing the four gauge-invariant bilinears (the Gram vector) of the Two-Higgs Doublet Model, let u1=12(g0+g3)u_1 = \frac{1}{2}(g_0 + g_3) and u2=12(g0g3)u_2 = \frac{1}{2}(g_0 - g_3) correspond to the squared norms Φ12\|\Phi_1\|^2 and Φ22\|\Phi_2\|^2 of the Higgs doublets, respectively. For any natural numbers N,MN, M and any polynomials A,BR[g0,g1,g2,g3]A, B \in \mathbb{R}[g_0, g_1, g_2, g_3], if u1NB=u2MA u_1^N \cdot B = u_2^M \cdot A then u1Nu_1^N divides AA. This reflects the fact that u1u_1 and u2u_2 are coprime linear forms in the Gram ring.

theorem

A Gauge-Invariant Potential on Representatives is a Polynomial in the Gram Vector

Let V:TwoHiggsDoubletRV: \text{TwoHiggsDoublet} \to \mathbb{R} be an effective potential for the two-Higgs-doublet model. Suppose VV is gauge-invariant and has a maximum mass dimension at most nn (meaning it is a polynomial in the field components of total degree at most nn). Then there exists a multivariate polynomial pp in four variables over R\mathbb{R} such that, for any parameter vector XR4X \in \mathbb{R}^4, the potential evaluated at the orbit representative configuration repHiggs(X)\text{repHiggs}(X) is given by V(repHiggs(X))=p(r0,r1,r2,r3),V(\text{repHiggs}(X)) = p(r_0, r_1, r_2, r_3), where {r0,r1,r2,r3}\{r_0, r_1, r_2, r_3\} are the components of the Gram vector r\mathbf{r} associated with the configuration repHiggs(X)\text{repHiggs}(X).

theorem

A Gauge-Invariant Potential VV is a Polynomial in the Gram Vector r\mathbf{r}

Let V:TwoHiggsDoubletRV: \text{TwoHiggsDoublet} \to \mathbb{R} be an effective potential for the two-Higgs-doublet model. If VV is gauge-invariant and has a maximum mass dimension at most nn (i.e., it is a polynomial in the field components of total degree at most nn), then there exists a multivariate polynomial pp in four variables over R\mathbb{R} such that for every Higgs field configuration ϕ\phi, the potential is given by V(ϕ)=p(r0,r1,r2,r3)V(\phi) = p(r_0, r_1, r_2, r_3), where {r0,r1,r2,r3}\{r_0, r_1, r_2, r_3\} are the components of the Gram vector r(ϕ)\mathbf{r}(\phi) of the configuration.
