Boundary Conditions as Mass Generation Mechanism for Complex Scalar Fields

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We consider the effects of homogeneous Dirichlet's boundary conditions in the scalar electrodynamics with self-interaction. We have found for a critical scale of the compactification length that symmetry is restored and scalar field develops mass and vector field does not.
