What is the Higgs boson? How are all forces unified in particle physics? What is a mechanism for gauge symmetry breaking? Are there extra dimensions in spacetime? The Higgs boson discovered in 2012 is a crucial piece in the standard model for unifying electromagnetic and weak forces. Gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechanism. There is an alternative scenario. In the Hosotani mechanism gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken by dynamics of gauge fields in the fifth dimension. The Higgs boson appears as a fluctuation mode of an Aharonov-Bohm phase in the fifth dimension. This ...
