In the present paper we study the limit of zero mass in nonabelian gauge theories both with Higgs mechanism and in the nonlinear realization of the gauge group (Stueckelberg mass). We argue that in the first case the longitudinal modes…
We study the resonant decay of the Higgs condensate into weak gauge bosons after inflation and estimate the corrections arising from the non-Abelian self-interactions of the gauge fields. We find that non-Abelian interaction terms induce an…

Models of inflation in which the Higgs field is non-minimally coupled to gravity lead, after a recaling of the metric, to a complicated expression for the potential of the inflaton field. Nevertheless, this potential produces the desired…
We consider both the Abelian Higgs model and the impact of a minimal length in the un-particle sector. It is shown that even if the Higgs field takes a non-vanishing v.e.v., gauge interaction keeps its long range character leading to an…
In cases of both abelian and nonabelian gauge groups, we study the Higgs mechanism in the topologically massive gauge theories in an arbitrary space-time dimension. We show that when the conventional Higgs potential coexists with a…
The Higgs mechanism is designed to generate mass for massless particles. The mass comes from the interaction of observed particles with an external field -- the Higgs field. In the past, several alternatives to the Higgs mechanism for mass…
