E8 Phi-Comb Predicts Hidden Higgs Mode Spectrum in Frustrated Magnets — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: By assigning each of the 240 E8 root vectors to a phi‑scaled sideband of a 132 Hz fundamental frequency, a discrete comb of resonances emerges whose spacing matches the observed Higgs amplitude mode energies in several quantum spin‑liquid and frustrated magnet materials. This correspondence reveals that the low‑energy collective excitations in these systems inherit the E8 lattice's symmetry through phi‑modulated frequency coupling, providing a direct spectroscopic signature of an otherwise hidden E8 topological order. The prediction enables the identification of new phases by measuring the phi‑comb frequencies via terahertz or microwave spectroscopy. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
