New theories of electroweak symmetry breaking have recently been constructed that stabilize the weak scale and do not rely upon supersymmetry. In these theories the Higgs boson is a weakly coupled pseudo-Goldstone boson. In this note we study the class of theories that can be described by theory spaces and show that the fundamental group of theory space describes all the relevant classical physics in the low energy theory. The relationship between the low energy physics and the topological properties of theory space allow a systematic method for constructing theory spaces that give any desired low energy particle content and potential. This provides us with tools for analyzing and constructing new theories of electroweak symmetry breaking.

  1. Return of the CHAMPs: A clockwork portal to charged dark matter

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    A clockwork chain of U(1) gauge groups naturally generates a dark-matter electric charge of order 10^{-12}e with O(1) inputs, with the relic abundance set by resonant annihilation through TeV-scale Z' bosons.
