Dark Matter-Induced Multi-Phase Dynamical Symmetry Breaking
  We consider the classically scale invariant Higgs-dilaton model of dynamical
symmetry breaking extended with an extra scalar field that plays the role of
dark matter. The Higgs boson is light near a critical boundary between
different symmetry breaking phases, where quantum corrections beyond the usual
Gildener-Weinberg approximation become relevant. This implies a tighter
connection between dark matter and Higgs phenomenology. The model has only
three free parameters, yet it allows for the observed relic abundance of dark
matter while respecting all constraints. The direct detection cross section
mediated by the Higgs boson is determined by the dark matter mass alone and is
testable at future experiments.
