نویسنده
چکیده
Gauge symmetries generally appear as a constraint algebra, under which one expects all physical states to be singlets. However, quantum anomalies and boundary conditions introduce central charges and change this picture, thus causing gauge/diffeomorphism modes to become physical. We expose a cohomological (Higgs-less) generation of mass in U (N)-gauge invariant Yang-Mills theories through non-trivial representations of the gauge group. This situation is also present in black hole evaporation, where the Virasoro algebra turns out to be the relevant subalgebra of surface deformations of the horizon of an arbitrary black hole.

In this work we propose two Lagrange multipliers with distinct coefficients for the light-front gauge that leads to the complete (non-reduced) propagator. This is accomplished via (n · A) 2 + (∂ · A) 2 terms in the La-grangian density. These lead to a well-defined and exact though Lorentz non invariant light front propagator.

The dynamical quantum effects arising due to the boundary presence with two types of boundary conditions (BC) satisfied by scalar fields are studied. It is shown that while the Neumann BC lead to the usual scalar field mass generation, the Dirichlet BC give rise to the dynamical mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Due to the later, there arises the possibility of the respective phase tr...

We suggest simple models which produce the suitable fermion mass hierarchies and flavor mixing angles based on the supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory in 6 dimensions compactified on a T 2 /Z 2 orbifold. The gauge and Higgs fields propagate in 6 dimensions while ordinal chiral matter fields are localized in 4 dimensions. We introduce extra vector-like heavy fields in the extra dimensions...

We present a model of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the Higgs boson is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. By embedding the standard models SU(2)×U(1) into an SU(4) × U(1) gauge group, one-loop quadratic divergences to the Higgs mass from gauge and top loops are canceled automatically with the minimal particle content. The potential contains a Higgs quartic coupling which does not introduc...
