Exploring how Higgs vacuum dynamics and spacetime geometry may jointly explain galaxies, inflation, and cosmic acceleration.
Hi there!
HGVM began as an initial conceptual framework exploring a simple ambition: whether the Higgs vacuum and spacetime curvature could be linked within a single geometric picture of mass, gravity, and the vacuum.
At this stage, HGVM should not be presented as a complete theory. It is more accurately described as an evolving research program: a structured attempt to test how far one Higgs–geometry framework can go across several open phenomena, starting with galaxies, cosmic inflation, and late-time cosmic acceleration.
The original 2025 text remains important because it captured the founding intuition and the broader ambition of the project. But the work has since moved from a broad conceptual proposal to a series of focused papers, each isolating one sector, confronting it with data, and stating clearly what is established, what remains phenomenological, and what is still missing from first principles.
Paper I studies galaxy rotation curves on the full SPARC sample and provides the first quantitative galactic test of HGVM.
Paper II focuses on the inflationary sector and shows that, in the specific case h(phi) = phi², HGVM reduces to a viable Higgs-inflation / Starobinsky-type limit consistent with observations.
Paper III extends the program to late-time cosmic acceleration and explores how a geometric threshold in HGVM may connect galactic and cosmological acceleration scales.
Taken together, these papers do not yet form a finished first-principles theory. They form the first empirical and theoretical pillars of a broader program.
The main missing step is Paper IV, whose role is to derive the galactic modulation profile directly from the underlying field equations rather than treat it as an effective parametrization. That is the key threshold between a promising phenomenological framework and a more derived theory.
A possible Paper V is not defined yet. It will depend on where the next solid result emerges. It could extend the framework toward weak lensing, a deeper late-time cosmology test, or a more microscopic treatment of the vacuum sector. For now, that remains open by design.
This page now serves as the entry point to the HGVM program and to the papers released so far. As the project progresses, the goal is not to defend a fixed doctrine, but to push one geometric idea as far as it can go, sector by sector, under empirical and theoretical constraints.
If you’re curious about where the HGVM framework stands today, HGVM is now being developed as a step-by-step research program rather than a finished theory, and the papers below present its current structure, main results, and open questions.
