Electroweak Symmetry Breaking in Low-Scale Quantum Gravity

Authors: M. BOZ, A. DEMİR, NAMIK KEMAL PAK

Abstract: We discuss the implications of low-scale quantum gravity on electroweak symmetry breaking by computing one-loop gravitational corrections to the Higgs potential. We conclude that these radiative corrections are quite large after summing over the graviton and dilaton Kaluza-Klein towers, and there is no possibility of electroweak symmetry breaking unless one allows for the complex vacuum expectation value for the Higgs field.
