| contents | The local structure of the Higgs sector around the vacuum does not uniquely determine its global properties. Most of the current experimental data provides only local information, which allows for a rich variety of global features, including several distinct topologies of the scalar manifold, and the existence of zero, one, or two fixed points of the symmetry transformations. Here, I provide, under general conditions, a complete classification of realizations of the electroweak symmetry with minimal field content -- the three would-be Goldstone bosons and the Higgs -- and outline some of their physical consequences. |
