Abstract： 5D UED is not automatically minimally flavor violating. This is due to flavor asymmetric counter-terms required on the branes. Additionally, there are likely to be higher dimensional operators which directly contribute to flavor observables. We document a mostly unsuccessful attempt at utilizing localization in a flat extra dimension to resolve these flavor constraints while maintaining KK-parity as a good quantum number. It is unsuccessful insofar as we seem to be forced to add brane operators in such a way as to precisely mimic the effects of a double throat warped extra dimension. In the course of our efforts, we encounter and present solutions to a problem common to many extra dimensional models in which fields are “doubly localized:” ultra-light modes. Under scrutiny, this issue seems tied to an intrinsic tension between maintaining Kaluza-Klein parity and resolving mass hierarchies via localization

Abstract： We present a novel class of calculable four dimensional composite pseudo-Goldstone boson Higgs models based on symmetric G/H coset spaces which contain a Higgs-parity operator V as well as a linear representation Σ0 for the Goldstone bosons. For such cosets the low-energy effective Lagrangian for the Standard Model fields can have an enhanced global symmetry which we call the maximal symmetry. We show that such a maximally symmetric case leads to a finite and fully calculable Higgs potential, which also minimizes the tuning by eliminating double tuning and reducing the Higgs mass. We present a detailed analysis of the Maximally Symmetric SO(5)/SO(4) model, and comment on its observational consequences.
