Fermion production despite fermion number conservation
Lattice proposals for a nonperturbative formulation of the Standard Model easily lead to a global U(1) symmetry corresponding to exactly conserved fermion number. The absence of an anomaly in the fermion current would then appear to inhibit anomalous processes, such as electroweak baryogenesis in the early universe. One way to circumvent this problem is to formulate the theory such that this U(...
متن کاملFermion number non-conservation and gravity
It is shown that in the Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) theory, as well as in the pure flat space Yang-Mills (YM) theory, there always exists an opportunity to pass over the potential barrier separating homotopically distinct vacuum sectors, because the barrier height may be arbitrarily small. However, at low energies all the overbarrier histories are suppressed by the destructive interference. In th...
متن کاملAnomalous fermion number non-conservation on the lattice
The anomaly for the fermion number current is calculated on the lattice in a simple prototype model with an even number of fermion doublets.
متن کاملEinstein-Yang-Mills sphalerons and fermion number non-conservation
It is argued that the sphaleron solutions appearing in the Einstein-YangMills theory are important in the transition processes at extremely high energies. Namely, when the energy exceeds the sphaleron mass, the existence of these solutions ensures constructive interference on the set of the overbarrier transition histories interpolating between distinct topological sectors of the theory. This h...
متن کاملNew fermion mass textures from anomalous U(1) symmetries with baryon and lepton number conservation
In this paper, we present solutions to the fermion mass hierarchy problem in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard theory augmented by an anomalous family–dependent U(1)X symmetry. The latter is spontaneously broken by non–zero vevs of a pair of singlet fields whose magnitude is determined through the D– and F–flatness conditions of the superpotential. We derive the general solutio...
