Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Higgs mechanism
The Higgs mechanism is very powerful: it furnishes a description of the electroweak theory in the Standard Model which has a convincing experimental verification. But although the Higgs mechanism had been applied successfully, the conceptual background is not clear. The Higgs mechanism is often presented as spontaneous breaking of a local gauge symmetry. But a local gauge symmetry is rooted in ...
متن کاملDynamical Higgs Mechanism without Elementary Scalars: A Lesson from Instantons
The generation of gauge–dependent fermion vacuum condensates in Yang– Mills theory would dynamically break the gauge symmetry and thus provide an alternative to the Higgs mechanism in unified theories. We explore a simple example: instanton-induced quark pair (diquark) condensation in QCD with 2 flavors and Nc colors. We do find diquark condensates in the vacuum, but only for Nc = 2, where they...
متن کاملOn the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry: a new mechanism
We consider a U(1) gauge theory, minimally coupled to a massless Dirac field, where a higher-derivative term is added to the pure gauge sector, as in the Lee-Wick models. We find that this term can trigger chiral symmetry breaking at low energy in the weak coupling regime. Then, the fermion field acquires a mass that turns out to be a function of both the energy scale associated to the higher-d...
متن کاملHiggs Mechanism and Symmetry Breaking without Redundant Variables
The Higgs mechanism is reconsidered in the canonical Weyl gauge formulation of quantized gauge theories, using an approach in which redundant degrees of freedom are eliminated. As a consequence, its symmetry aspects appear in a different light. All the established physics consequences of the Higgs mechanism are recovered without invoking gauge symmetry breaking. The occurence of massless vector...
متن کاملLecture Notes on Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and the Higgs mechanism
ing the previous discussion, spontaneous symmetry breaking involves: • a C∗-algebra A (e.g., of the form (4.3)) with time-evolution α : R→ Aut(A); • a symmetry group γ : G→ Aut(A) such that αtγg = γgαt for all t ∈ R, g ∈ G. • a groundor KMS-state ω on A for which ωg ≡ γ∗ gω 6= ω for some g ∈ G. Naively, one would conversely say that SSB is absent if a symmetric groundor KMSstate exists, but thi...
