There is a surprising connection between the top quark and Higgs alignment in Gildener-Weinberg multi-Higgs doublet models. Were it not for the top quark and its large mass, the coupling of the \( 125\,{\rm GeV} \) Higgs boson \(H\) to gauge bosons and fermions would be indistinguishable to those of the Standard Model Higgs. The top quark's coupling to a single Higgs doublet breaks this perfect alignment in higher orders of the Coleman-Weinberg loop expansion of the effective potential. But the effect is still small, \(\lesssim {\cal{O}}(1\%) \), and probably experimentally inaccessible.
