Mass Generation in Structural Algebraic Quantum Field Theory: An alternative to the Higgs mechanism

General Physics 2024-01-11 v3

Abstract

Within the recently proposed structure-inclusive algebraic formulation of quantum field theory, we show that a massless particle can acquire mass by special nonlinear coupling to a universal massless scalar field; establishing an alternative to the Higgs mechanism in the standard model of particle physics. We end with a conjecture concerning dark energy and dark matter.
