Abstract

The conditions obtained by Salam for a general gauge theory to be renormalizable are derived. They require that in a gauge invariant formalism the bare boson mass associated with the massive non-Abelian vector field is zero. A solution to the origin of masses in electroweak theory is proposed in which the physical masses of the WW and ZZ bosons and the quarks and leptons are derived from their self-energies according to a self-consistent scheme.
