| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Unification of forces implies large gauge symmetry. This large gauge symmetry must be spontaneously broken to smaller gauge symmetry to produce diverse forms of forces observed in Nature at low energies. In the standard model of elementary particle physics, the symmetry is broken by the Higgs mechanism. In this research project the gauge-Higgs unification theory was constructed, in which the large gauge symmetry is dynamically and spontaneously broken to smaller gauge symmetry by the Hosotani mechanism in place of the Higgs mechanism. The Higgs boson in four dimensions appears as the fifth dimensional component of the gauge fields. The signatures of the fifth dimension in spacetime can be observed in experiments at high energy colliders such as LHC and ILC.
