On the Broken Gauge, Conformal and Discrete Symmetries in Particle Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
− Relationships between gauge, conformal and discrete symmetries in particle physics are analysed. We study also the effect of the electroweak mixing on the cancellation of SU(2) anomalous actions. It is shown that the relation θW = 2(θ12 + θ23 + θ13) between the Weinberg angle and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angles should be satisfied and this effect is completely defined by the mixing of Dirac fermions. We compare two mechanisms of the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry, discuss the renormalizability of theories, and argue for the existence of the Majorana fermions necessary to remove the SU(2) anomalous action. The fate of the majoron and the spontaneously broken lepton number is discussed. We also show the compatibility of the boson and fermion mixings with DysonSchwinger equations.

متن کاملExact and Broken Symmetries in Particle Physics
In these lectures, I discuss the role of symmetries in particle physics. I begin by discussing global symmetries and show that they can be realized differently in nature, depending on whether or not the vacuum state is left invariant by the symmetry. I introduce next the notion of local symmetries and show how these symmetries can be implemented through the introduction of gauge fields. Using t...
متن کاملSuperheavy Dark Matter with Discrete Gauge Symmetries
We show that there are discrete gauge symmetries protect naturally heavy X particles from decaying into the ordinary light particles in the supersymmetric standard model. This makes the proposal very attractive that the superheavy X particles constitute a part of the dark matter in the present universe. It is more interesting that there are a class of discrete gauge symmetries which naturally a...
متن کاملD-branes in the Light-cone Gauge and Broken Symmetries
Boundary states for D-branes are constructed using the light cone gauge. The D-brane breaks half the spacetime supersymmetry giving rise to fermionic zero modes living on the brane. The nonlinear realization of the broken supersymmetry on the open string degrees of freedom is analysed and the influence of boundary terms coming from closed string vertex operators is discussed. 1 Boundary states ...
متن کاملGeneralized global symmetries and holography
We study the holographic duals of four-dimensional field theories with 1-form global symmetries, both discrete and continuous. Such higher-form global symmetries are associated with antisymmetric tensor gauge fields in the bulk. Various different realizations are possible: we demonstrate that a Maxwell action for the bulk antisymmetric gauge field results in a non-conformal field theory with a ...
