Degenerate Vacua of the Universe and What Comes Beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

We present a new cosmological model of the Universe based on the two discoveries: 1. cosmological constant is very small, and 2. Nature shows a new law in physics called "Multiple Point Principle" (MPP). The MPP predicts the two degenerate vacua of the Universe with VEV v 1 ≈ 246 Gev and v 2 ∼ 10 18 GeV, which provide masses of the Higgs boson and top-quark. A new cosmological model assumes the formation of two universal bubbles. The Universe at first stage of its existing is a bubble with a de-Sitter spacetime inside, having black-holes-hedgehogs as topological defects of the vacuum. Such a bubble has a "false vacuum" with VEV v 2 , which decays very quickly. Cooling Universe has a new phase transition, transforming the "false" vacuum to the "true" (Electroweak) vacuum. Hedgehogs confined, and the universal bubble is transformed into the bubble having spacetime with FLRW-metric and the vacuum with new topological defects of U (1) (el-mag) group: magnetic vortices and Sidharth's pointlike defects. The problem of stability/metastability of the EW-vacuum is investigated. Noncommutativity of the vacua spacetime manifold is discussed. The prediction of a new physics is given by the future observations at LHC of the triplet SU (2) Higgs bosons (at energies E ∼ 10 TeV), and/or of the new bound states 6t + 6 t formed by top-antitop quarks (at E ∼ 1 TeV). The problem "What comes beyond the Standard Model" is discussed at the end of this paper. Contents:1. Dark Energy (DE) and Multiple Point Principle (MPP) a. Three vacua of the Standard Model (SM) b.

Asymptotic safety, the Higgs boson mass, and beyond the standard model physics

“…According to this principle there are two vacuum states with about the same energy density, one at electroweak scale and one at the Planck scale and was used in order to predict the SM couplings [38][39][40]. It has also interesting cosmological consequences [41]. Let us note that the requirement Eq.…”

Gravi-weak unification and the black-hole-hedgehog’s solution with magnetic field contribution

“…In the previous papers, [1][2][3] devoted to studying of topological defects of the universal vacua we gave the investigation of hedgehog's configurations [4,5] neglecting the contribution of magnetic fields.…”

“…The cosmological model developed in Refs. [1][2][3] assumes the existence of two degenerate vacua of the Universe: The first ("true") Electroweak (EW) vacuum with VEV v 1 ≈ 246 GeV, and the second ("false") Planck scale vacuum with VEV v 2 ∼ 10 18 GeV. In these papers, we investigated hedgehog's configurations as defects of "the false vacuum".…”

“…[7][8][9][10]. In contrast to the theory [1][2][3], here we have taken into account the contribution of the magnetic field of hedgehogs.…”
