Abstract: (APS)
The question of whether classically conformal modifications of the standard model are consistent with experimental observations has recently been subject to renewed interest. The method of Gildener and Weinberg provides a natural framework for the study of the effective potential of the resulting multiscalar standard model extensions. This approach relies on the assumption of the ordinary loop hierarchy λs∼gg2 of scalar and gauge couplings. On the other hand, Andreassen et al. recently argued that in the (single-scalar) standard model gauge invariant results require the consistent scaling λs∼gg4. In the present paper, we contrast these two hierarchy assumptions and illustrate the differences in the phenomenological predictions of minimal conformal extensions of the standard model.Note:
