Momentum-Space Topology of Standard Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The momentum-space topological invariants, which characterize the ground state of the Standard Model, are continuous functions of two parameters, generated by the hypercharge and by the weak charge. These invariants provide the absence of the mass of the elementary fermionic particles in the symmetric phase above the electroweak transition (the mass protection). All the invariants become zero in the broken symmetry phase, as a result all the elementary fermions become massive. Relation of the momentum-space invariants to chiral anomaly is also discussed. PACS numbers:71.10.-w, 11.30.-j, 67.57.-z, 11.30.R

Interplay of Real Space and Momentum Space Topologies in Strongly Correlated Fermionic Systems
We discuss the momentum-space topology of 3+1 and 2+1 strongly correlated fermionic systems. For the 3+1 systems the important uni-versality class is determined by the topologically stable Fermi points in momentum space. In the extreme limit of low energy the condensed matter system of this universality class acquires all the symmetries , which we know today in high energy physics: Lorentz inva...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions from topology in momentum space
Many quantum condensed matter systems are strongly correlated and strongly interacting fermionic systems, which cannot be treated perturbatively. However, physics which emerges in the low-energy corner does not depend on the complicated details of the system and is relatively simple. It is determined by the nodes in the fermionic spectrum, which are protected by topology in momentum space (in s...
متن کاملQuantum vacua: Momentum space topology of fermion zero modes
Quantum vacua are characterized by the topological structure of their fermion zero modes. The vacua are distributed into universality classes protected by topology in momentum space. The vacua whose manifold of fermion zero modes has co-dimension 3 are of special interest because in the low-energy corner the fermionic excitations become the Weyl relativistic chiral fermions, while the dynamical...
متن کاملMomentum space topology and quantum phase transitions
Many quantum condensed-matter systems, and probably the quantum vacuum of our Universe, are strongly correlated and strongly interacting fermionic systems, which cannot be treated perturbatively. However, physics which emerges in the low-energy does not depend on the complicated details of the system and is relatively simple. It is determined by the nodes in the fermionic spectrum, which are pr...
متن کامل$LG$-topology
In this paper, we introduce a new model of point free topology for point-set topology. We study the basic concepts in this structure and will find that it is naturally close to point-set topology.
