A Symmetry for Resolution of the Gauge Hierarchy Problem without SUSY, Null Higgs Condensate Energy, and Null Zero Point Energy
Year: 2018
Type: preprint
Abstract: Alternative forms for solutions of the quantum field equations and their implications for physical theory, are considered. Incorporation of these alternative solutions, herein deemed supplemental solutions, into the development of quantum field theory leads to simple resolutions of more than one extant problem in high energy physics and quantum cosmology. The symmetry between the traditional and supplemental solutions results in a direct and natural zero-point energy value of zero, and, as well, a possible mechanism for cancelling the Higgs condensate energy, thereby providing a potential resolution of the large cosmological constant problem. Further, this symmetry may also resolve the Higgs gauge hierarchy problem. Resolutions of seeming theoretic impediments to supplemental fields, in particular, non-positive definite Fock space metric and vacuum decay, are presented. As the traditional-supplemental symmetry is already inherent in quantum field theory, it requires no extension to the fundamental mathematics of the theory.
