Symmetry Breaking of Gauge Theories via Internal Space Dynamics
In this paper, I explain how gauge symmetry can be broken in a geometric way, à la Kaluza-Klein. In higher dimensional gravitational theories, one usually considers the extra dimensions to be “frozen” in time. However, the internal manifold is actually a dynamic entity. For example, its metric can change even if one expects its topological properties to be invariant. It is conceivable then, tha...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry as a Gauge Symmetry
It is shown that in string theory mirror duality is a gauge symmetry (a Weyl transformation) in the moduli space of N = 2 backgrounds on group manifolds, and we conjecture on the possible generalization to other backgrounds, such as CalabiYau manifolds. e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected]
متن کاملNoncommutativity vs gauge symmetry
In many aspects the most complicated foliated manifolds are those with nonvanishing Godbillon-Vey class. We argue that they probably do not appear in physics and that is due to gauge symmetry which prevents the foliation from becoming “too wild”; that means that the foliation does not develop resilient leaves which, at least in codim-1, by Duminy’s theorem are responsible for the nontriviality ...
متن کاملHidden Gauge Symmetry
In the four dimensional free fermionic formulation of the heterotic string, a semi-realistic SU(4) × SU(2) L × SU(2) R model is proposed with three fermion generations in (4, 2, 1) + (¯ 4, 1, 2) representations. The gauge symmetry of the model breaks to the standard gauge group using a higgs pair in the (4, 1, 2)+(¯ 4, 1, 2) representations. The massless spectrum includes exotic fractionally ch...
متن کاملGauge Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories—In Search of Clarification
The paper investigates the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries in gauge theories from a philosophical angle. Local gauge symmetry itself cannot break spontaneously in quantized gauge theories according to Elitzur’s theorem—even though the notion of a spontaneously broken local gauge symmetry is widely employed in textbook expositions of the Higgs mechanism, the standard account of mass gen...
