Higgs Mechanism in Scale-Invariant Gravity
We consider a Higgs mechanism in scale-invariant theories of gravitation. It is shown that in spontaneous symmetry breakdown of scale invariance, gauge symmetries are also broken spontaneously even without the Higgs potential if the corresponding charged scalar fields couple to a scalar curvature in a non-minimal way. In this gravity-inspired new Higgs mechanism, the non-minimal coupling term, ...
متن کاملScalar Gravity and Higgs Mechanism
The role of the auxiliary scalar field φ in Brans-Dicke theory is discussed. If a constant vacuum energy is assumed to be the origin of dark energy, then the corresponding density parameter would be a quantity varying with φ; and almost all of the fundamental components of our universe can be unified into the dynamical equation for φ. As a generalization of Brans-Dicke theory, we propose a new ...
متن کاملScale-invariant Gravity: Geometrodynamics
We present a scale-invariant theory, conformal gravity, which closely resembles the geometrodynamical formulation of general relativity (GR). While previous attempts to create scaleinvariant theories of gravity have been based on Weyl’s idea of a compensating field, our direct approach dispenses with this and is built by extension of the method of best matching w.r.t scaling developed in the pa...
متن کاملA Higgs Mechanism for Gravity
In this paper we elaborate on the idea of an emergent spacetime which arises due to the dynamical breaking of diffeomorphism invariance in the early universe. In preparation for an explicit symmetry breaking scenario, we consider nonlinear realizations of the group of analytical diffeomorphisms which provide a unified description of spacetime structures. We find that gravitational fields, such ...
متن کاملScale-invariant Gravity: Particle Dynamics
A new and universal method for implementing scale invariance, called best matching, is presented. It extends to scaling the method introduced by Bertotti and the author to create a fully relational dynamics that satisfies Mach’s principle. The method is illustrated here in the context of non-relativistic gravitational particle dynamics. It leads to far stronger predictions than general Newtonia...
