چکیده
We briefly review some of the connections between symmetry breaking in condensed matter physics and in particle physics, assisting, in particular, our current understanding of the origin of mass.

Deconstruction of Gauge Symmetry Breaking by Discrete Symmetry and G Unification
We deconstruct the non-supersymmetric SU(5) breaking by discrete symmetry on the space-time M4×S1 and M×S/(Z2×Z ′ 2) in the Higgs mechanism deconstruction scenario. And we explain the subtle point on how to exactly match the continuum results with the latticized results on the quotient space S/Z2 and S /(Z2 ×Z ′ 2). We also propose an effective deconstruction scenario and discuss the gauge symm...
متن کاملElectroweak symmetry breaking from dimensional deconstruction
We propose a new class of four-dimensional theories for natural electroweak symmetry breaking, relying neither on supersymmetry nor on strong dynamics at the TeV scale. The new TeV physics is perturbative, and radiative corrections to the Higgs mass are finite. The softening of this mass occurs because the Higgs is an extended object in theory space, resulting in an accidental symmetry. A novel...
متن کاملThe Minimal Moose for a Little Higgs
Recently a new class of theories of electroweak symmetry breaking have been constructed. These models, based on deconstruction and the physics of theory space, provide the first alternative to weak-scale supersymmetry with naturally light Higgs fields and perturbative new physics at the TeV scale. The Higgs is light because it is a pseudo-Goldstone boson, and the quadratically divergent contrib...
متن کاملRadiative electroweak symmetry breaking in a Little Higgs model
Abstract: We present a new Little Higgs model, motivated by the deconstruction of a five-dimensional gauge-Higgs model. The approximate global symmetry is SO(5)0×SO(5)1, breaking to SO(5), with a gauged subgroup of [SU(2)0L × U(1)0R] × O(4)1, breaking to SU(2)L×U(1)Y . Radiative corrections produce an additional small vacuum misalignment, breaking the electroweak symmetry down to U(1)EM. Novel ...
متن کاملHiggsless Deconstruction without Boundary Condition
Deconstruction is a powerful means to explore the rich dynamics of gauge theories in four and higher dimensions. We demonstrate that gauge symmetry breaking in a compactified higher dimensional theory can be formulated via deconstructed 4D moose theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking and without boundary condition. The proper higher-D boundary conditions are automatically induced in the cont...
