Exploring residual gauge symmetry breaking
Simulations of pure-gauge SU(2) lattice gauge theory are performed in the minimal Coulomb gauge. This leaves a residual or remnant gauge symmetry still active which is global in three directions but still local in one. Using averaged fourth-dimension pointing links as a spin-like order parameter, the remnant symmetry appears to undergo spontaneous symmetry breaking at around β = 2.6. Both the B...
متن کاملGauge Symmetry Breaking in Models Inspired by Non-Commutative Geometry
There have been many attempts to study the origin of the Higgs mechanism. Among these, a method using an idea of non-commutative geometry (NCG) 1) was proposed, 2) in which it was shown that the Weinberg-Salam model can be reconstructed naturally from this viewpoint. The point of this formulation is to extend the definition of (gauge) connection so as to be applicable to some non-commutative sp...
متن کاملPossible Non-Higgs Symmetry Breaking Phases in Gauge Theories
When a theory with gauged symmetry G is broken to a theory with smaller gauged symmetry H by a dynamical condensate C, transforming as a singlet underH but nontrivially under G with covariant derivative (DμC) , the leading derivative term (DμC) (DC)A in the effective action can have a coefficient α of general sign and magnitude. The case α > 0 corresponds to the usual Higgs phase, but the cases...
متن کاملSpontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Non Abelian Gauge Theories
This term paper explores the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking in systems with non-abelian gauge symmetry. The most famous example comes from the standard model of particle physics, wherein symmetry breaking is responsible for the masses of the W and Z bosons and the corresponding short range of the weak nuclear force. The electroweak theory will be discussed as well as a more ambitio...
متن کاملPhil Anderson And Gauge Symmetry Breaking
In this lecture, I am going to talk primarily about just one of the dozens of important papers that Phil Anderson has written. This paper was written just a little over 51 years ago, in 1962. I will set it in context by telling a little about the work that Julian Schwinger had done shortly before, and also we will recall Phil’s earlier work on superconductivity that helped to set the stage. The...
