Abstract

An emergent global symmetry of the composite sector (called maximal symmetry) can soften the ultraviolet behavior of the Higgs potential and also significantly modify its structure. We explain the conditions for the emergence of maximal symmetry as well as its main consequences and present two simple implementations. In both cases the emergence of maximal symmetry is enforced by the structure of the gauge symmetries.
