A Goldilocks Higgs
The Higgs may couple to a topological 4-form sector which yields a complex vacuum structure. In many of the resulting Higgs vacua electroweak symmetry is unbroken. In just as many it breaks when the 4-form flux is large enough. For a fixed value of flux, the symmetry breaking vacua have a smaller va...
