abstract

Experimental measurements point at the Standard Model (SM) as the theory of electroweak symmetry breaking, but as we close in on our characterization the question arises of what limits in theory space lead to the SM. The class of theories with this property cannot be ruled out, only constrained to an ever smaller neighbourhood of the SM. In contrast, which class of theories do not posses this limit and can therefore potentially be ruled out experimentally? In this work we study both classes and find evidence to support the Standard Model Effective field theory being the single road to the Standard Model, theories that fall outside this class keeping a `minimum distance' from the SM characterized by a cut-off of at most $ 4\pi v/g_{\rm SM}$.

  1. geoSCET: Soft Theorems from Power Counting

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    geoSCET derives geometric soft theorems for scalar field theories directly from effective-field-theory power counting and proves they are exact to all orders in perturbation theory when no potential is present.

  2. The Potential of HEFT and the scale of New Physics

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    From a geometric recursion, the authors compute leading high-energy amplitudes with arbitrary multiplicities, resum them into unitarity bounds and cut-offs, and show that a dilaton HEFT reaches the SM as Δ→2 without p...

  3. Catalog of electroweak scalar manifolds

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The scalar field space of the minimal electroweak Higgs sector, assuming the usual 3-sphere vacuum, is one of exactly 11 possible manifolds, each with its own fixed points and topological-defect spectrum.
