A dynamical symmetry for supermembranes

Avenues for Dynamical Symmetry Breaking

which dynamically breaks SU(2)L × SU(2)R → SU(2)V . These broken chiral symmetries imply the existence of three massless Goldstone bosons, the analogs of the pions in QCD. Now consider gauging SU(2)W × U(1)Y with the left-handed fermions transforming as weak doublets and the right-handed ones as weak singlets. To avoid gauge anomalies, in this one-doublet technicolor model we will take the left...

Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

These lectures explored the idea that the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking arises from novel strong dynamics. We started from the familiar strong-interaction dynamics of QCD, introduced simple dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking models whose strong dynamics imitate those of QCD, analyzed the limitations of these models, and finally moved on to theories whose dynamics differ from tho...

Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

We review the status of and recent developments in dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, concentrating on the ideas of technicolour and top quark condensates. The emphasis is on the essential physical ideas and experimental implications rather than on detailed mathematical formalism. After a general overview of the subject, we give a first introduction to technicolour, and extended technicol...

Dynamical Systems with Symmetry

Symmetry groups for 3D dynamical systems

Abstract We present a systematic way to construct dynamical systems with a specific symmetry group G. Each symmetric strange attractor has a unique image attractor that is locally identical to it but different at the global topological level. Image attractors can be lifted to many inequivalent covering attractors. These are distinguished by an index that has related topological, algebraic and g...
