Description
A new class of solutions to the electroweak hierarchy problem is presented that does not require either weak-scale dynamics or anthropics. Dynamical evolution during the early Universe drives the Higgs boson mass to a value much smaller than the cutoff. These solutions inherently require the existence of an axion coupled to the Higgs boson. I will review theoretical developments in this area and discuss experimental ways to probe this scenario.
