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 کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories via Bose-Einstein condensation
We propose a mechanism naturally leading to the spontaneous symmetry breaking in a gauge theory. The Higgs field is assumed to have global and gauged internal symmetries. We associate a non zero chemical potential to one of the globally conserved charges commuting with all of the gauge transformations. This induces a negative mass squared for the Higgs field triggering the spontaneous symmetry ...
متن کامل- 2 - Gauge Theories and Symmetry Breaking II
A new method of renormalizing Abelian gauge theories without regulators is developed in this series of papers. In the present part infrared problems are avoided by modifying the Lagrangian such that all masses are non-vanishing. It is shown that conventional renormalization of the classical Lagrangian leads to anomalies of the current. A modified renormalization scheme is proposed and shown to ...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories.
The aim of this historical article is to describe the development of the idea of spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories as seen from my perspective as a member of Abdus Salam's group at Imperial College London, UK. Beginning with an account of particle physics in the years after the Second World War, I describe early attempts at constructing a unified theory of weak and electromagnetic...
