Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking for Massive Spin-2 Interacting with Gravity
An action for a massless graviton interacting with a massive spin-2 field is proposed. The model is based on coupling the metric tensor to an SP (4) gauge theory spontaneously broken to SL(2, C). The symmetry breaking is achieved by using a Higgs multiplet containing a scalar field and a vector field related by a constraint. We show that in the non-unitary gauge and for the Fierz-Pauli form of ...
متن کاملConformally invariant boundary conditions for dilaton gravity.
Quantum mechanical boundary conditions along a timelike line, corresponding to the origin in radial coordinates, in two-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to N matter fields, are considered. Conformal invariance and vacuum stability severely constrain the possibilities. The simplest choice found corresponds to a nonlinear Liouville-type boundary interaction. The scattering of low-energy matter...
متن کاملGravity as Conformally Invariant Mechanical System
We show that two-dimensional (2D) AdS gravity induces on the spacetime boundary a confor-mally invariant dynamics that can be described in terms of a de Alfaro-Fubini-Furlan model coupled to an external source with conformal dimension two. The external source encodes the information about the gauge symmetries of the 2D gravity system. Alternatively, there exists a description in terms of a mech...
متن کاملSpontaneous breaking of conformal invariance in theories of conformally coupled matter and Weyl gravity
We study the theory of Weyl conformal gravity with matter degrees of freedom in a conformally invariant interaction. Specifically, we consider a triplet of scalar fields and SO(3) non-abelian gauge fields, i.e. the Georgi-Glashow model conformally coupled to Weyl gravity. We show that the equations of motion admit solutions spontaneously breaking the conformal symmetry and the gauge symmetry, p...
متن کاملNonperturbative Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
One of the most astonishing results of quantum field theory is spontaneous symmetry breaking. One can say that it is the situation when something arises from the quantization. This means that on the quantum level one has something that was not present on the classical level. Coleman and Weinberg [1] write : “ . . . higher-order effects may qualitatively change the character of a physical theory...
