An SO(5)xU(1) gauge-Higgs unification model in the Randall-Sundrum warped space with top and bottom quarks is constructed. Additional fermions on the Planck brane make exotic particles heavy by effectively changing boundary conditions of bulk fermions from those determined by orbifold conditions. Gauge couplings of a top quark multiplet trigger electroweak symmetry breaking by the Hosotani mechanism, simultaneously giving a top quark the observed mass. The bottom quark mass is generated by combination of brane interactions and the Hosotani mechanism, where only one ratio of brane masses is relevant when the scale of brane masses is much larger than the Kaluza-Klein scale (sim 1.5 TeV). The Higgs mass is predicted to be 49.9 (53.5) GeV for the warp factor 10^{15} (10^{17}). The Wilson line phase turns out pi/2 and the Higgs couplings to W and Z vanish so that the LEP2 bound for the Higgs mass is evaded. In the flat spacetime limit the electroweak symmetry is unbroken.

The electroweak phase transition in GUT inspired $SO(5) times U(1) times SU(3)$ gauge-Higgs unification is shown to be of weakly first-order and occurs at $T = T_c^{ rm EW} sim 163 ,$GeV, which is very similar to the behavior in the standard model in perturbation theory. There appears a new phase at higher temperature. $SU(2)_L times U(1)_Y$ ($ theta_H=0$) and $SU(2)_R times U(1)_{Y}$ ($ theta_H= pi$) phases become almost degenerate above $T sim m_{rm KK}$ where $m_{rm KK}$ is the Kaluza-Klein mass scale typically around 13TeV and $theta_H$ is the Aharonov-Bohm phase along the fifth dimension. The two phases become degenerate at $T = T_c^{rm LR} sim m_{rm KK}$. As the temperature drops in the evolution of the early universe the $SU(2)_R times U(1)_{Y}$ phase becomes unstable. The tunneling rate from the $SU(2)_R times U(1)_{Y}$ phase to the $SU(2)_L times U(1)_Y$ phase becomes sizable and a first-order phase transition takes place at $T=2.5 sim 2.6,$TeV. It is shown that the $W$ boson, $Z$ boson and photon, with $theta_H$ varying from 0 to $pi$, are transformed to gauge bosons in the $SU(2)_R times U(1)_{Y}$ phase. Gauge couplings and wave functions of quarks, leptons and dark fermions in the $SU(2)_R times U(1)_{Y}$ phase are determined.
In the $SO(5) times U(1)$ gauge-Higgs unification the lightest, neutral component of $n_F$ $SO(5)$-spinor fermions (dark fermions), which are relevant for having the observed unstable Higgs boson, becomes the dark matter of the universe. We show that the relic abundance of the dark matter determined by WMAP and Planck data is reproduced, below the bound placed by the direct detection experiment by LUX, by a model with one light and three heavier ($n_F=4$) dark fermions with the lightest one of a mass from 2.3$,$TeV to 3.1$,$TeV. The corresponding Aharonov-Bohm phase $theta_H$ in the fifth dimension ranges from 0.097 to 0.074. The case of $n_F=3$ ($n_F = 5, 6$) dark fermions yields the relic abundance smaller (larger) than the observed limit.
Existing models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) find it very difficult to get a Higgs of mass lighter than $m_t$. Consequently, in light of the LHC discovery of the ~125 GeV Higgs, such models face a significant obstacle. Moreover, with three generations those models have a superheavy cut-off around $10^{17}$ GeV, requiring a significant fine-tuning. To overcome these twin difficulties, we propose a hybrid framework for EWSB, in which the Higgs mechanism is combined with a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio mechanism. The model introduces a strongly coupled doublet of heavy quarks with a mass around 500 GeV, which forms a condensate at a compositeness scale $Lambda$ about a few TeV, and an additional unconstrained scalar doublet which behaves as a fundamental doublet at $Lambda$. This fundamental-like doublet has a vanishing quartic term at $Lambda$ and is, therefore, not the SM doublet, but should rather be viewed as a pseudo-Goldstone boson of the underlying strong dynamics. This setup is matched at the compositeness scale $Lambda$ to a tightly constrained hybrid two Higgs doublet model, where both the composite and unconstrained scalars participate in EWSB. This allows us to get a good candidate for the recently observed 125 GeV scalar which has properties very similar to the Standard Model Higgs. The heavier (mostly composite) CP-even scalar has a mass around 500 GeV, while the pseudoscalar and the charged Higgs particles have masses in the range 200 -300 GeV.
We study the phase structure of the gauge theories in the space-time with one compact dimension, where the gauge symmetry can be broken by the Hosotani mechanism. As the extra dimension, we consider the SO(5) x U(1) gauge-Higgs unification in the Randall-Sundrum space-time which reproduce the 126 GeV Higgs mass. It is found that the thermal phase transition of the electroweak symmetry is almost second order and the critical temperature is around 160 GeV for z_L < 10^7 and n_F=3.
Signatures of the $SO(5)times U(1)$ gauge-Higgs unification at LHC and future colliders are explored. The Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass spectra of $gamma, Z, Z_R$ and the Higgs self-couplings obey universality relations with the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase $theta_H$ in the fifth dimension. The current data at low energies and at LHC indicate $theta_H <0.2$. Couplings of quarks and leptons to KK gauge bosons are determined. Three neutral gauge bosons, the first KK modes $Z_R^{(1)}$, $Z^{(1)}$, and $gamma^{(1)}$, appear as $Z$ bosons in dilepton events at LHC. For $theta_H = 0.114$, the mass and decay width of $Z_R^{(1)}$, $Z^{(1)}$, and $gamma^{(1)}$ are (5.73TeV, 482GeV), (6.07TeV, 342GeV), and (6.08TeV, 886GeV), respectively. For $theta_H = 0.073$ their masses are 8.00TeV$sim$8.61TeV. An excess of events in the dilepton invariant mass should be observed in the $Z$ search at the upgraded LHC at 14TeV.
