Abstract: (Elsevier)
We discuss the problem of generating two vastly different mass scales through spontaneous symmetry breaking. We find that to all orders in perturbation theory this can only be achieved if there is a non-trivial relation between the couplings of the theory. While this relation may come from a higher symmetry we find that this symmetry can only be broken at the low mass scale.
