Symmetry breaking via fermion 4-point functions
We construct the effective action and gap equations for nonperturbative fermion 4-point functions. Our results apply to situations in which fermion masses can be ignored, which is the case for theories of strong flavor interactions involving standard quarks and leptons above the electroweak scale. The structure of the gap equations is different from what a naive generalization of the 2-point ca...
متن کاملFermion mass without symmetry breaking
We examine a model of reduced staggered fermions in three dimensions interacting through an SO(4) invariant four fermion interaction. The model is similar to that considered in a recent paper by Ayyer and Chandrasekharan [1]. We present theoretical arguments and numerical evidence which support the idea that the system develops a mass gap for sufficiently strong four fermi coupling.without prod...
متن کاملChiral symmetry breaking via multifermion Green functions.
Previous results on fermion chirality-flipping four-point functions are extended to SU(N) gauge theories. The problem is purely non-perturbative, and it is approached by truncating the Schwinger-Dyson hierarchy. The large-N limit also simplifies the problem substantially. The resulting equation is solved numerically by relaxation techniques and an estimate of the critical coupling and momentum ...
متن کاملDomain wall fermion and CP symmetry breaking
We examine the CP properties of chiral gauge theory defined by a formulation of the domain wall fermion, where the light field variables q and q̄ together with Pauli-Villars fields Q and Q̄ are utilized. It is shown that this domain wall representation in the infinite flavor limit N = ∞ is valid only in the topologically trivial sector, and that the conflict among lattice chiral symmetry, strict ...
متن کاملFermion Masses and Hierarchy of Symmetry Breaking
We suggest that the breaking of a symmetry unifying the families of fermions occurs in stages. We consider the total Lagrangian to be invariant under the group SU(2) xU(1) x G, where G is a discrete group. The Higgs potential is, however, invariant under SU(2) xU(1) xE, where E 3 G. In a first stage c is broken to a subgroup H C 5, but H is not contained in G. The u and d quarks are naturally m...
