If the WWH coupling vanishes, the Higgs boson cannot contribute to the unitarization.
This occurs in the Gauge-Higgs Unification modelsin the warped spacetime.

We numerically estimate • scattering amplitudes for W, Z bosons• a scale at which the tree-level unitarity is violated in the Gauge-Higgs Unification.
Purpose
Extra-dimensional model is non-renormalizable
Tree-level unitarity will be violated at some scale.

Summary
• Weak boson scattering in GHU model
• Equivalence theorem holds well.
• Amplitudes have large -dependencein the warped spacetime.
• Tree-level unitarity is violated at

Comment on
Thus, the S-wave amplitude diverges.
Taking into account the width of the W boson, the divergence at is smeared out.
