Abstract

We explore the possibility that the Higgs boson of the standard model be actually a member of a larger family, by showing that a more elaborate internal structure naturally arises from geometrical arguments, in the context of a partly original handling of gauge fields which was put forward in previous papers. A possible mechanism yielding the usual Higgs potential is proposed. New types of point interactions, arising in particular from two-spinor index contractions, are shown to be allowed.
