Analysis reveals non-perturbative effects create a mass gap in the hidden sector, implying electroweak symmetry breaking in the Standard Model.
A conformally extended Standard Model with a hidden scalar is investigated. It is shown that due to non‐perturbative dynamics in the hidden sector, develops a vacuum expectation value (vev) in the form of a mass gap which triggers the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) and dynamically generates the SM Higgs boson mass. To estimate the non‐perturbatively generated mass scale, a hierarchy of Dyson–Schwinger equations is solved in form of partial differential equations using the exact solution known via a novel technique developed by Bender, Milton, and Savage. A Jacobi Elliptic function is employed as exact background solution and show that the mass gap that arises in the hidden sector can be transmuted to the EW sector, expressed in terms of Higgs‐portal mixed quartic coupling and self interaction quartic coupling of . The suitable parameter space where the observed SM Higgs boson can be successfully generated is identified. Finally, the idea of non‐perturbative EW scale generation can serve as a new starting point for better realistic model building in the context of resolving the hierarchy problem in the Standard Model is discussed.
