Description
The key question after the LHC discovery of the 126 GeV scalar
will be addressed by using insight from a geometric theory of flavor.
In this construction a new mechanism that simultaneously triggers EW symmetry
breaking and stabilizes the 5th dimension through the use of a doublet
(see arXiv:1312.3331) will be discussed. In this interpretation
the observed scalar is actually a "Higgs-radion" and there is no
separate radion. So in that sense its a minimal model and has
significant differences from the properties of the SM Higgs. Connection
to ~100 TeV collider will also be discussed
