A possible fundamental explanation of electroweak unification
نویسنده
چکیده
Electroweak unification is implied by the local structure theorem of distribution theory applied to the causal interval R = X − Z between two space-time points X and Z . Taking R as generating function, the potentials of the electromagnetic and weak interactions are obtained by applying the causal d’Alembertian operator onR, and both potentials can be given a proper physical interpretation provided all calculations are made in the context of nonlinear generalized functions.

Time Variation of Fundamental Constants as a Probe of New Physics
There has recently been reported evidence for a possible time variation of the fine structure constant on cosmological time scales . Such variations are not surprising in any theoretical framework for the unification of basic forces involving extra dimensions or in which dimensionless couplings are related to the expectation values of scalar fields. However, the variation of α is likely to be c...
متن کاملUnification of Couplings and the Dynamical Breakdown of the Electroweak Symmetry
I discuss the properties of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, in the case in which there is a dynamical breakdown of the electroweak symmetry induced by the formation of condensates of the third generation of quarks and their supersymmetric partners. The top quark and Higgs mass predictions derived within this scheme are essentially equivalent to those ones obtained fr...
متن کاملIsogravity: Toward an Electroweak and Gravitational Unification
We present a model that unites the electroweak interaction with general relativity. This is made possible by embedding the kinetic terms for gravity and electroweak theory using one SL(2,C) connection variable. The gauge theory is specified without relying on a spacetime metric. We show that once a symmetry breaking mechanism is implemented that selects a global time-like direction, the elecrow...

Abstract We propose an alternative unification scenario where the Higgs self-coupling (λ) is determined by impossing its unification with the electroweak gauge couplings. An attractive feature of models within this scenario is the possibility to determine the Higgs boson mass by evolving λ from the electroweak-Higgs unification scale MGH down to the electroweak scale. The unification condition ...
