Electroweak theory without spontaneous symmetry breaking II
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recent construction of the electroweak theory, based on quantum gauge invariance alone, is extended to the general case of more generations of fermions with arbitrary mixing. The conditions implied by second order gauge invariance lead to an isolated solution for the fermionic couplings in agreement with the standard model. Third order gauge invariance determines the Higgs potential. The resulting massive gauge theory is manifestly gauge invariant, after construction.

A electroweak theory without spontaneous symmetry breaking is studied in this paper. A new symmetry breaking of SU(2)L × U(1), axial-vector symmetry breaking, caused by the combination of the axial-vector component of the intermediate boson and the fermion mass is found in electroweak theory. The mass of the W boson is resulted in the combination of the axial-vector symmetry breaking and the ex...

The concept of perturbative gauge invariance formulated exclusively by means of asymptotic fields is generalized to massive gauge fields. Applying it to the electroweak theory leads to an essentially complete fixing of couplings of scalar and ghost fields and of the coupling to fermionic matter, in agreement with the standard theory. The W/Z mass ratio is also determined, as well as the chiral ...

متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in the Higgs mechanism
The Higgs mechanism is very powerful: it furnishes a description of the electroweak theory in the Standard Model which has a convincing experimental verification. But although the Higgs mechanism had been applied successfully, the conceptual background is not clear. The Higgs mechanism is often presented as spontaneous breaking of a local gauge symmetry. But a local gauge symmetry is rooted in ...
