Unification of Su (2) ⊗ U (1) Using a Generalized Covariant Derivative and U (3)

چکیده
A generalization of the Yang-Mills covariant derivative, that uses both vector and scalar fields and transforms as a 4-vector contracted with Dirac matrices, is used to simplify and unify the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model. Since SU (3) assigns the wrong hypercharge to the Higgs boson, it is necessary to use a special representation of U (3) to obtain all the correct quantum numbers. A surplus gauge scalar boson emerges in the process, but it uncouples from all other particles.

An Introduction to Generalized Yang-Mills Theories
In generalized Yang-Mills theories scalar fields can be gauged just as vector fields in a usual Yang-Mills theory, albeit it is done in the spinorial representation. The presentation of these theories is aesthetic in the following sense: A physical theory using Yang-Mills theories requires several terms and irreducible representations, but with generalized Yang-Mills theories, only two terms an...
متن کاملThe Standard Model and the Generalized Covariant Derivative
The generalized covariant derivative, that uses both scalar and vector bosons, is defined. It is shown how a grand unified theory of the Standard Model can be constructed using a generalized Yang-Mills theory. 1 The generalized covariant derivative Last year the authors developed a generalized Yang-Mills theory (GYMT) that used a covariant derivative that included not only vector bosons but sca...

متن کاملFine-Tuning Problem in a Left-Right Symmetric Model and Sogami’s Generalized Covariant Derivative Method
We study Sogami’s generalized covariant derivative method for a SU(2)L × SU(2)R ×U(1)B−L × SU(3)c model that contains bi-doublet and triplet Higgs bosons. In particular, a detailed study is made on the minimization conditions of the Higgs potential. It is known that a minimization condition and certain phenomenology for a extra gauge boson mass derive a restriction on potential parameters, whic...
متن کاملLeft-right symmetry and supersymmetric unification.
The existence of an SU(3)×SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1) gauge symmetry with gL = gR at the TeV energy scale is shown to be consistent with supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification at around 10 GeV if certain new particles are assumed. The additional imposition of a discrete Z2 symmetry leads to a generalized definition of R parity as well as highly suppressed Majorana neutrino masses. Another model based o...
