Abstract

Noncommutative geometry(NCG) on the discrete space successfully reproduces the Higgs mechanism of the spontaneously broken gauge theory, in which the Higgs boson field is regarded as a kind of gauge field on the discrete space. We could construct the generalized differential geometry(GDG) on the discrete space M4×ZNM_4\times Z_N which is very close to NCG in case of M4×Z2M_4\times Z_2. GDG is a direct generalization of the differential geometry on the ordinary manifold into the discrete one. In this paper, we attempt to construct the BRST invariant formulation of spontaneously broken gauge theory based on GDG and obtain the BRST invariant Lagrangian with the t'Hooft-Feynman gauge fixing term.
