All Gauge theories are basedupon charge conservation.
The continuous symmetry that leads, by Noether’s Theorem, to charge
conservationis called Local Gauge Invariance
All Gauge theories are basedupon charge conservation.

The Higgs Boson Explains the Masses of Elementary Particles
Or Does it?

It was hoped that a fundamental Higgs Mechanismwould explain the origin of electroweak mass
We now know that a fundamental Higgs Bosonexists and explains the masses of quarks, leptons, W and Z

It is possible that we need only the strongest coupled SUSY
partners to the Higgs Boson to be nearby in mass
e.g., “The More minimal supersymmetric standard model”A, G. Cohen , D.B. Kaplan, A.E. Nelson Phys.Lett. B388 (1996) 588-598
e.g., “Natural SUSY” : A Light Stop
Weak Scale SUSY was seriously challengedbefore the LHC turned on (e.g. EDM’s)
MSSM now copes with severe direct limits;Some nMSSM models survive
If SUSY is the custodial symmetrywe should see it in LHC RUN-II
Bardeen: Classical Scale Invariancecould be the custodial symmetry of a fundamental, perturbatively
light Higgs Boson.

H2 develops a Coleman-Weinberg potential and VEV v2
3 is negative and gives the Higgs boson its -m2 |H2 |2
The model does not require large quartic cc’s, hassensible UV behavior
H2 and associatedgauge fields becomeviable dark matter
I think this is a very important scientific question:
Is the Higgs potential Coleman-Weinberg?
• Examined a “maximally visible” scheme• Requires new bosonic contribution(s) to RG
• Dormant Higgs Boson from std 2-doublet scheme M 400 GeV
• May be observable, LHC run III?• Higgs trilinear and quartic couplngs non-standard
• UV problem -> new strong scale 10 TeV• New bosons may be dark matter
Perhaps we live in a world where allMass comes from quantum effects
No classical mass input parameters.
QCD and Higgs may be telling ussomething very profound:
All mass in nature may be a quantum phenomenon !
“All mass is a quantum phenomenon”
