Abstract

We discuss the realization of a two Higgs doublets model in the framework of a six-dimensional gauge-Higgs unification model with a simple Lie group GM. Two Higgs SU(2)L doublets can emerge at the low energy effective theory, and the quartic coupling terms in the scalar potential, which are essential for the electroweak symmetry breaking, are now GM gauge invariant and permissive. A realistic two Higgs doublets model can possibly be obtained only when two of the root vectors associated with the would-be Higgs doublets and the root vector for SU(2)L form an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle either of π/3, π/2, or 2π/3. Moreover, depending on GM, the scalar potential of the resulting two Higgs doublets model can admit only a few limited forms. The mass spectrum of the physical Higgs and the weak mixing angle are briefly discussed.
