3. 2/25 Introduction

4. 3/25 Standard model Higgs boson Electroweak sym. breaking, (perturbative) unitarity ++ e.g.)

5. 4/25 Amplitude 1 TeV unitarity bound w/o Higgs w/ Higgs If the WWH coupling vanishes, the Higgs boson cannot contribute to the unitarization. This occurs in the Gauge-Higgs Unification models in the warped spacetime.

6. 5/25 EW breaking Boundary conditions along the extra dimension Higgsless model Unitarity is recovered by KK gauge bosons Gauge-Higgs Unification Unitarity is recovered by KK gauge bosons and zero-mode of [Csaki, et.al, 2003] Higgs Models with extra dimension [Fairlie; Manton, 1979; Hosotani, 1983,…]

7. 6/25 We numerically estimate scattering amplitudes for W, Z bosons a scale at which the tree-level unitarity is violated in the Gauge-Higgs Unification. Purpose Extra-dimensional model is non-renormalizable. Tree-level unitarity will be violated at some scale.

18. 17/25 The amplitude stops growing when the KK modes start to propagate. In the unit of the KK scale,

26. 25/25 Summary Weak boson scattering in GHU model Equivalence theorem holds well. Amplitudes have large -dependence in the warped spacetime. Tree-level unitarity is violated at

27. 26/25 Unitarity condition Then we obtain For the 2 →2 channel,

28. 27/25 If we assume that the S-wave component is dominant, we obtain

29. 28/25 Comment on Thus, the S-wave amplitude diverges. Taking into account the width of the W boson, the divergence at is smeared out. translated into a cut-off for f
