The hypothesis is explored that fermion rest mass is due entirely to self-interaction via virtual excitation of gauge bosons. This requires revising the standard model to treat both chiral projections of a fermion field as SU(2) doublets,…
We study a scale invariant two measures theory where a dilaton field \phi has no explicit potentials. The scale transformations include a shift \phi\to\phi+const. The theory demonstrates a new mechanism for gene- ration of the exponential…
The Standard Model of electroweak interactions is shown to include a gauge theory for the observed scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. This is done by exploiting the consequences of embedding the SU(2)left X U(1) group into the chiral group of…
We classify all the phenomenologically viable fermion mass matrices coming from a spontaneously broken abelian symmetry $ U(1)_X, $ with one and two additional chiral fields of opposite charges $ X=\pm 1. $ We find that the non-trivial…
We discuss the possibility of generating a light composite scalar boson, in a scenario that we may generically call Technicolor, or in any variation of a strongly interacting theory, where by light we mean a scalar composite mass about one…
We explore the possibility that, while the Higgs mechanism provides masses to the weak-gauge bosons at the electroweak scale as in the standard model, fermion masses are generated by an unknown mechanism at a higher energy scale. At low…
In the low-energy regime light and strange baryons should be considered as systems of constituent quarks with confining interaction and a chiral interaction that is mediated by Goldstone bosons as well as by vector and scalar mesons. The…
We formulate a viable low-scale seesaw model, where the masses for the standard model (SM) charged fermions lighter than the top quark emerge from a universal seesaw mechanism mediated by charged vectorlike fermions. The small light active…
The properties of scalar quarks are studied, especially the formation of fermionic mesons with an anti-quark. On the basis of this theoretical investigation together with the experimental data, both from last year and from this year, of the…
We construct a class of Abelian and non-Abelian local gauge theories that consist only of matter fields of fermions. The Lagrangian is compact and local without containing an auxiliary vector field nor a subsidiary condition on the matter…
We present the scalar field effective potential for nonrelativistic self-interacting scalar and fermion fields coupled to an Abelian Chern-Simons gauge field. Fermions are non-minimally coupled to the gauge field via a Pauli interaction.…
We consider a simple scale-invariant action coupling the Higgs field to the metric scalar curvature $R$ and containing an $R^2$ term that exhibits spontaneous breaking of scale invariance and electroweak symmetry. The coefficient of the…
The possibility of generating neutrino mass through see-saw mechanism involving U(1) chiral Peccei-Quinn and scale symmetries breakdown is discussed. We consider a generic scale invariant model which has three Majorana fermions and a…
We present the calculation of the spectral function of an unstable scalar boson coupled to fermions as resulting from the resummation of the one loop diagrams in the scalar particle self energy. We work with a large but finite high-energy…
We start from a Hamiltonian describing non-interacting fermions and add bosons to the model, with a Jaynes-Cummings-like interaction between the bosons and fermions. Because of the specific form of the interaction the model can be solved…
{}From the one-loop effective potential for a gas of non-relativistic bosons in two spatial dimensions interacting via a delta-function potential at zero-temperature and finite chemical potential, the anomaly of the energy-momentum tensor…
We show, in the case of a U(1)L spontaneously broken gauge theory, how introducing a composite Wess-Zumino field, with a derivative coupling to the fermionic current, and a composite scalar sector leads to infinitely massive quarks and…
It is shown that the gauge fixings of the Z and the W fields and three scalars are via nonconserved axial-vector and charged vector currents of massive fermions dynamically generated by fermion masses in the SM of EW interactions. The top…
We have computed Wilsonian effective action in a simple model containing scalar field with quartic self-coupling which interacts via Yukawa coupling with a Dirac fermion. The model is invariant under a chiral parity operation, which can be…
We consider a theory in which a real scalar field is Yukawa-coupled to a fermion and has a potential with two non-degenerate vacua. If the coupling is sufficiently strong, a collection of N fermions deforms the true vacuum state, creating…
