What is Effective Theory of Higgs Sector Vacuum States about?

The effective field theory description for modifications of Standard Model-like Higgs boson interactions arising from tree-level mixing with heavy Higgs sector vacuum states without conserved quantum numbers is presented. An expansion in terms of effective operator dimension based on powers of the heavy mass scale rather than operator dimension is utilized to systematically organize interactions within the effective theory. Vacuum states arising from electroweak singlet extensions of the Higgs sector yield at leading order only two effective dimension-six operators. One of these uniformly dilutes all the interactions of a single physical Higgs boson as compared with Standard Model expectations, while the combination of the two operators give more general modifications of all remaining interactions with two or more physical Higgs bosons. Vacuum states arising from an additional electroweak doublet yield three types of effective dimension-six operators that modify physical Higgs boson couplings to fermion pairs, self-couplings, and introduce four-fermion interactions. However, in this case modification of physical Higgs boson interactions with massive gauge bosons arise at leading or
