| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gauge-Higgs unification (GHU) is one of the attractive ideas for physics beyond the standard model. It is important to understand the dynamics for realistic applications. We study the effective potential of the GHU by introducing a cutoff for the fifth direction of the space time. In doing it, we define an important parameter called interrelation, by which we can clarify how much the Kaluza-Klein modes contribute to the Higgs boson mass. We also discuss the implication of the discovered Higgs boson on physics with extra dimensions.
The effective potential at the finite temperature and the one with the GHU share the same mathematical structure. We correctly take into account the order parameters in the standard model, and study the phase structure at finite temperature. We do not find new phases for which the new order parameters take nonvanishing vacuum expectation values.
