Planck-scale unification and dynamical symmetry breaking.
We explore the possibility of unification of gauge couplings near the Planck scale in models of extended technicolor. We observe that models of the form G×SU(3)c×SU(2)L×U(1)Y cannot be realized, due to the presence of massless neutral Goldstone bosons (axions) and light charged pseudo-Goldstone bosons; thus, unification of the known forces near the Planck scale cannot be achieved. The next simp...
متن کاملPlanck Scale Symmetry Breaking and Majoron Physics
Majoron models provide neutrino masses via the spontaneous breaking of a global U(1) symmetry. However, it may be argued that all global symmetries will be explicitly violated by gravita-tional effects. We show that it is possible to preserve most of the usual features of majoron models by invoking U(1) B−L to be a gauge symmetry and adding a second singlet scalar field. The majoron gets a smal...
متن کاملInflation From Symmetry Breaking Below the Planck Scale
We investigate general scalar field potentials V (φ) for inflationary cosmology arising from spontaneous symmetry breaking. We find that potentials which are dominated by terms of order φm with m > 2 can satisfy observational constraints at an arbitrary symmetry breaking scale. Of particular interest, the spectral index of density fluctuations is shown to be independent of the specific form of ...
متن کاملDynamical 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...
متن کاملDynamical 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...
