   7# Longitudinal Vector-Boson Scattering and the Higgs Cancellation
   8
   9The Higgs sector's most stringent test is not the Higgs mass but the
  10high-energy behaviour of longitudinal vector-boson scattering
  11`W_L^+ W_L^- → W_L^+ W_L^-` (and analogous Z and ZZ → ZZ amplitudes).
  12
  13Without a scalar resonance, the contact and gauge-exchange diagrams give
  14an amplitude that grows as `s² / v⁴` and violates perturbative unitarity
  15above ~ 1 TeV.  The Higgs scalar exchange contributes a counter-term that
  16exactly cancels the leading `s² / v⁴` piece, leaving an amplitude that
  17asymptotes to a constant.
  18
  19The Lee–Quigg–Thacker (1977) cancellation is therefore not a numerical
  20accident but a structural identity: the same scalar that gives mass to
  21the longitudinal modes must couple to them in exactly the way that
  22restores high-energy unitarity.
  23
  24This module formalises that identity at the schema level.  The
  25`amplitude_high_energy` is parametrised by a "gauge-exchange residue"
  26`a_gauge` and a "scalar-exchange residue" `a_scalar`; the cancellation
  27condition is `a_gauge + a_scalar = 0`.  We then prove:
  28
  29* The total amplitude is bounded as `s → ∞` exactly when the cancellation
  30  holds.
  31* Under `HiggsEFTBridge.NormalizationHypothesis`, the RS theory satisfies
  32  the cancellation condition, because the scalar coupling extracted from
  33  the J-cost geometry is the unique value compatible with EW gauge
  34  symmetry.
  35
  36## Status
  37
  38* `THEOREM`: the amplitude-cancellation identity holds whenever
  39  `a_gauge + a_scalar = 0`.
  40* `THEOREM`: high-energy boundedness is equivalent to the cancellation.
  41* `CONDITIONAL_THEOREM`: under the canonical normalisation map, the RS
  42  scalar-exchange residue equals the gauge-exchange residue with opposite
  43  sign; this is the structural content of "RS preserves longitudinal
  44  unitarity."
  45* `OPEN`: a fully kinematic four-point amplitude (Mandelstam variables,
  46  helicity decomposition) is not yet formalised in Lean.
