A Generalized Higgs Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v4 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

The Higgs model is generalized so that in addition to the radial Higgs field there are fields which correspond to the themasy and entropy. The model is further generalized to include state and sign parameters. A reduction to the standard Higgs model is given and how to break symmetry using a non-zero VEV (vacuum expectation value) is shown. A 'fluid rotation' can be performed on the standard Higgs model to give a model dependant on the entropy and themasy and with a constant mass.
