Symmetry Breaking, Chiral Dynamics, and Fermion Masses
نویسنده
چکیده
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is one of the main paradig.ns of particle physics. I will briefly review 1) the general history of SSB, 2) the universal features and descriptions of gap formation and chirM dynamics in the BSC-type mechanisms in condensed matter, nuclear, and particle physics, and 3) some open problems including the mass hierarchy in the Standard Model and beyond.

Dynamical symmetry breaking on a brane with bulk gauge theory
We analyze a structure of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in orbifold gauge theories with matter fields (fermions) on the fixed point. We find that the boundary chiral phase structure of QED and QCD on the orbifold is quite nontrivial depending on the bulk constitution, and we claim that particular attention should be given to the dynamically generated masses in various kinds of phenomenolog...
متن کاملRough Gauge Fields, Smearing and Domain Wall Fermions
At a fixed lattice spacing, as determined by say mρ, adding additional fermion flavors to a dynamical simulation produces rougher gauge field configurations at the lattice scale. For domain wall fermions, these rough configurations lead to larger residual chiral symmetry breaking and larger values for the residual masses, mres. We discuss ongoing attempts to reduce chiral symmetry breaking for ...
متن کاملDynamical fermion mass generation by a strong Yukawa interaction
We consider a model with global Abelian chiral symmetry of two massless fermion fields interacting with a complex massive scalar field. We argue that the Schwinger–Dyson equations for the fermion and boson propagators admit ultraviolet-finite chiral-symmetry-breaking solutions provided the Yukawa couplings are large enough. The fermions acquire masses and the elementary excitations of the compl...
متن کاملUndoubled Chiral Fermions on a Lattice
We analyze the dynamics of an SUL(2)⊗UR(1) chiral theory on the lattice with a strong multifermion coupling. It is shown that no spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs; the “spectator” fermion ψR is a free mode; doublers are decoupled as massive Dirac fermions consistently with the chiral symmetries. In 1+1 dimension, we show that the right-handed three-fermion state disappears at the threshold a...
متن کاملImproving Dynamical Domain-Wall Fermion Simulations
We report on studies of the chiral properties of dynamical domain wall fermions combined with the DBW2 gauge action for different gauge couplings and fermion masses. For quenched theories, the DBW2 action gives a residual chiral symmetry breaking much smaller than what was found with more traditional choices for the gauge action. Our goal is to investigate the possibilities which this and furth...
