Theoretical framework proposes emergent gauge symmetries in fundamental physics

A new preprint suggests that the Standard Model's gauge symmetries might be emergent, dissolving at extremely high energy scales. This theoretical work links Higgs vacuum stability to new critical phenomena, connecting physics at the Large Hadron Collider with processes in the deep ultraviolet. It also proposes a relationship between the dark energy scale and light Majorana neutrino masses, offering potential avenues for experimental verification through early universe signals.
