Soft Scale Symmetry Breaking with Laguerre Explicit Regulators
Abstract
In this work, we search for explicit regulators that do not spuriously break scale invariance starting from conditions established by implicit regularization. There is a family of regulator functions that obeys the conditions and leads to soft breaking terms of the dilatation current. This family of functions is shown to be related to the Laguerre polynomials. We apply this approach by revisiting quadratic divergences in the context of the naturalness problem of the Standard Model and show that the quadratic dependence of the Higgs mass on the cutoff is not required by consistency of scale-symmetry breaking and can be removed within this class of regulators.
