Possible origin of fermion generations

چکیده

In the model with the spontaneous breaking of chiral gauge symmetry, the vacuum structure for the pair of Higgs fields can cause the appearance of two generations of fermions. Two generations of fermions, say, electron and muon, have identical properties with respect to a gauge interaction and differ by the mass values yet. In the Standard Model [1] the masses are caused by the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry [2], so that the difference between the masses corresponds to the variation of Yukawa constants for the interaction between the fermions and Higgs fields. The values of those constants and the origin for the copying of generations are the problems, which are studied beyond the Standard Model. Consider the chiral interaction of dirac spinor with the abelian gauge field Aμ and Higgs field h L = ψ̄Rpμγ ψR + ψ̄L(pμ − eAμ)γψL + gψ̄RψLh+ gψ̄LψRh + LGF + L0(h,A), (1) where LGF is the lagrangian of free gauge field (with a possible introduction of term fixing the gauge and the corresponding lagrangian for the Faddeev–Popov ghosts), L0 is the lagrangian of Higgs field with a self-action and the gauge interaction, g is the Yukawa constant. At the spontaneous breaking of symmetry, the vacuum expectation of Higgs field is not equal to zero 〈0|h|0〉 = ηe. (2) In the unitary gauge φ = 0, the fermion becomes massive, so m = gη Lm = gη(ψ̄RψL + ψ̄LψR). (3) In the arbitrary gauge, it is convenient to use the method of auxiliary fields, so that, for example, fL = 1 √ 2 (

On a Dynamical Origin for Fermion Generations

We investigate a proposal to address several outstanding shortcomings of the perturbative Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, specifically a common, dynamical origin for the number of fermion generations, the spectrum of fermion masses and for Charge-Parity (CP) violating processes. The appeal of this proposal is that these features are a manifestation of the nonperturbative sector of the ...

Spacetime as a topological insulator: mechanism for the origin of the fermion generations.

We suggest a mechanism whereby the three generations of quarks and leptons correspond to surface modes in a five-dimensional theory. These modes arise from a nonlinear fermion dispersion relation in the extra dimension, much in the same manner as fermion surface modes in a topological insulator or lattice implementation of domain wall fermions. We also show that the topological properties can p...

A New Hypothesis on the Origin of the Three Generations

We suggest that the Standard Model may undergo a supercritical transition near the Landau scale, where the U(1) gauge boson couples to the left and right handed states of any given fermion with different charges. This scenario naturally gives rise to three generations of fermion, corresponding to the three critical scales for the right-right, right-left and left-left fermion interactions going ...

Majorana ghosts: From topological superconductor to the origin of neutrino masses, three generations and their mass mixing

The existence of three generations of neutrinos and their mass mixing are the deep mysteries of our universe. The history of neutrino physics can be traced back to Majorana’s elegant work on a real solution of the Dirac equation – known as the Majorana fermion. A cutting-edge step towards understanding the nature of neutrino has been taken by the experimental discovery of neutrino mass mixing d...

Gravitational Origin of Quark Masses in an Extra-dimensional Brane World

Using the warped extra dimension geometry of the many-brane extension of the Randall-Sundrum solution, we find a natural explanation for the observed quark masses of the three Standard Model (SM) generations. Localizing massless SM matter generations on neighboring 3-branes in an extra dimensional world leads to phenomenologically acceptable effective four dimensional masses arising from the co...
