We show that a recently discovered non-perturbative field-theoretical mechanism giving mass to elementary fermions, is also capable of generating a mass for the electro-weak bosons and can thus be used as a viable alternative to the Higgs…
This is the second of two companion papers in which we continue developing the construction of an elementary particle model with no Higgs. Here we show that the recently identified non-perturbative field-theoretical feature, alternative to…
Numerical evidence for a new dynamical mechanism of elementary particle mass generation has been found by lattice simulation in a simple, yet highly non-trivial SU(3) gauge model where a SU(2) doublet of strongly interacting fermions is…
Based on a recent proposal according to which elementary particle masses could be generated by a non-perturbative dynamical phenomenon, alternative to the Higgs mechanism, we carry out lattice simulations of a model where a non-abelian…
We propose a minimal unified model of the electroweak interactions without a Higgs particle in the final physical spectrum. This is achieved through adding a nonlinear constraint for the Higgs field in the Lagrangian in which the field's…
A model for strong, electroweak and gravitational interactions based on the local symmetry group $G=SU(3)\times SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)\times C$ where $C$ is the local conformal symmetry group is proposed. The natural minimal $G$-invariant…
In the Standard Model of elementary particles the fermions are assumed to be intrinsically massless. Here we propose a new theoretical idea of fermion mass generation (other than by the Higgs mechanism) through the coupling with the vector…
Assuming that mass scales arise in nature only via dimensional transmutation, we extend the dimension-less Standard Model by adding vector-like fermions charged under a new strong gauge interaction. Their non-perturbative dynamics generates…
We present an alternative to the Higgs mechanism to generate masses for non-abelian gauge fields in (3+1)-dimensions. The initial Lagrangian is composed of a fermion with current-current and dipole-dipole type self-interactions minimally…

An electroweak model is formulated in a finite, four-dimensional quantum field theory without a Higgs particle. The W and Z masses are induced from the electroweak symmetry breaking of one-loop vacuum polarization graphs. The theory…
We propose a strategy to compute the CKM matrix based on the conjecture, recently put forward in the literature, according to which elementary particle masses are not generated like in the standard Higgs scenario, but emerge from a…
We construct renormalizable Standard Model extensions, valid up to the Planck scale, that give a composite Higgs from a new fundamental strong force acting on fermions and scalars. Yukawa interactions of these particles with Standard Model…
A new Lagrangian of EW interactions without spontaneous symmetry breaking, Higgs, and Fadeev-Popov procedure has been constructed. It consists of three parts: $SU(2)_L\times U(1)$ gauge fields, massive fermion fields, and their…
A perturbative SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y electroweak theory containing W, Z, photon, ghost, lepton and quark fields, but no Higgs or other fields, gives masses to W, Z and the non-neutrino fermions by means of an unconventional choice for the…
We present an effective model for particle mass generation in which we extract generic features of the Higgs mechanism that do not depend on its interpretation in terms of a Higgs field. In this model the physical vacuum is assumed as a…
We consider a field theoretical model where a SU(2) fermion doublet, subjected to non-Abelian gauge interactions, is also coupled to a complex scalar field doublet via a Yukawa and an irrelevant Wilson-like term. Despite the presence of…
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…
An electroweak model in which the masses of the W and Z bosons and the fermions are generated by quantum loop graphs through a symmetry breaking is investigated. The model is based on a regularized quantum field theory in which the quantum…
A Lagrangian of electroweak interactions without Higgs is used to study the contributions of quarks and leptons to the masses of the W and the Z bosons. It is shown that the $SU(2)\times U(1)$ symmetry is broken by both fermion masses and…
