Deskripsi

We discuss the Higgs mass and cosmological constant hierarchy puzzles with emphasis on the interplay of Poincaré invariance, mass generation and renormalization group invariance. A plausible explanation involves an emergent Standard Model with the cosmological constant scale suppressed by power of the large scale of emergence. In this scenario the cosmological constant scale and neutrino masses should be of similar size. Keywords: Cosmological constant, Hierarchy puzzle, Emergent gauge symmetry, Neutrino mass
