RG flows in non-perturbative gauge-Higgs unification II: effective action for the Higgs phase near the quantum phase transition

Abstract We construct the zero temperature (no compact dimensions) effective action for an SU(2) Yang–Mills theory in five dimensions, with boundary conditions that reduce the symmetry on the four-dimensional boundary located at the origin to a U(1)-complex scalar system. In order to be sensitive to...
