Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Fermion - Gauge Systems : A Non Standard Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a new method for the study of the chiral properties of the ground state in QFT’s based on the computation of the probability distribution function of the chiral condensate. It can be applied directly in the chiral limit and therefore no mass extrapolations are needed. Furthermore this approach allows to write up equations relating the chiral condensate with quantities computable by standard numerical methods, the functional form of these relations depending on the broken symmetry group. As a check, we report some results for the compact Schwinger model.

Non-commutative field theory as a theory including the Lorentz violation can be constructed in two different ways. In the first method, the non-commutative fields are the same as the ordinary ones while the gauge group is restricted to U(n). For example, the symmetry group of standard model in non-commutative space is U(3)×(2)×U(1) which can be reduced to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) by two appropriate spo...
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 ...

In the context of four-fermion and gauge interactions, the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the fermion self-energy function is studied with the Wilson fermion on a lattice. We find that the critical line obtained by Bardeen, Leung and Love is modified. No additional Goldstone bosons appear in the spectrum of fundamental particles. Massive solutions to the Schwinger-Dyson equation turn out to be po...
متن کاملSpontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Non Abelian Gauge Theories
This term paper explores the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking in systems with non-abelian gauge symmetry. The most famous example comes from the standard model of particle physics, wherein symmetry breaking is responsible for the masses of the W and Z bosons and the corresponding short range of the weak nuclear force. The electroweak theory will be discussed as well as a more ambitio...

One of the most challenging issues in QCD is the investigation of spontaneous chiralsymmetry breaking, which is characterized by the non-vanishing chiral condensate when the bare fermion mass is zero. In standard methods, one has to perform expensive lattice simulations at multiple bare quark masses, and employ some modeled function to extrapolate the data to the chiral limit. This paper applie...
