Abstract

We discuss the impact of quantum gravity fluctuations on a scalar mass. In case that the scalar mass becomes irrelevant above the Planck scale, there could be solutions to the gauge hierarchy problem. In this talk, we consider the so-called classically scale invariant extension of the standard model, where non-abelian scalar-gauge theory in a dark sector is introduced to explain the origin of the electroweak scale. We discuss its phenomenological implications towards probing new physics.
