We analyze patterns of dynamical symmetry breaking in strongly coupled chiral gauge theories with direct-product gauge groups $G$. If the gauge coupling for a factor group $G_i \subset G$ becomes sufficiently strong, it can produce bilinear…
The fermion and meson sectors of the quark-level SU(2) linear sigma model are dynamically generated from a meson-quark Lagrangian, with the quark (q) and meson ($\sigma,\pi$) fields all treated as elementary, having neither bare masses nor…
Characteristic features of dynamical symmetry breaking are investigated in Randall-Sundrum (RS) background. To study the influence of bulk fermion or bulk gauge field I consider a five-dimensional four-fermion interaction model and a…
Fermion mass models usually contain a horizontal symmetry and therefore fail to predict the exponential mass spectrum of the Standard Model in a natural way. In dynamical symmetry breaking there are different concepts to introduce a fermion…
We study 2 --> n inelastic fermion-(anti)fermion scattering into multiple longitudinal weak gauge bosons and derive universal upper bounds on the scales of fermion mass generation by imposing unitarity of the S-matrix. We place new upper…
We construct a four dimensional lattice gauge theory in which fermions acquire mass without breaking symmetries as a result of gauge interactions. Our model consists of reduced staggered fermions transforming in the bifundamental…
We study in details on how gauge bosons can acquire mass when the chiral symmetry dynamically breaks down for massless gauge theory without scalars. Introducing dynamical scalar fields into the original gauge theory, we show that when the…
We present a unified description of the spontaneous symmetry breaking and its associated bosons in fermion field theory. There is no Goldstone boson in the fermion field theory models of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio, Thirring and QCD$_2$ after the…
Assuming that a horizontal abelian (gauge) symmetry is at the origin of texture zeros in the fermion mass matrices we show how realistic mass patterns can be generated in the presence of scalar fields whose vacuum expectation value breaks…
We show that the chiral symmetry breaking occurs in the vacuum of the massless Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) and Thirring models without a Goldstone boson. The basic reason of non-existence of the massless boson is due to the fact that the new…
We analyze a model with unbroken B-L gauge symmetry where neutrino masses are generated at one loop, after spontaneous breaking of a global U(1) symmetry. These symmetries ensure dark matter stability and the Diracness of neutrinos. Within…
We consider a supersymmetric model that uses partial compositeness to explain the fermion mass hierarchy and predict the sfermion mass spectrum. The Higgs and third-generation matter superfields are elementary, while the first two matter…
We propose a viable theory based on the $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ gauge group supplemented by the $S_4$ discrete group together with other various symmetries, whose spontaneous breaking gives rise to the current SM fermion mass…
The recent evidence for neutrino oscillations stimulate us to discuss again the problem of fermion masses and mixings in gauge theories. In the standard model, several forms for quark mass matrices are equivalent. They become ansatze within…
Four-fermion operators may have large anomalous scaling and become relevant operators in some strongly interacting gauge theories. We present a detailed model which illustrates some of the implications of such operators for the generation…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is studied within a simple version of the light-front sigma model with fermions. Its vacuum structure is derived by an implementation of global symmetries in terms of unitary operators in a finite volume with…
We review some recent work on nonperturbative properties of fermions and connections with chiral gauge theories. In particular, we consider one of the ultimate goals of this program: the understanding of the actual fermion mass spectrum. It…
We describe a 4D U(1) lattice gauge theory with charged scalar $\phi$ and fermion $\chi$ matter fields ($\chi U \phi$ model). At sufficiently strong gauge coupling, the chiral symmetry is broken and the mass of the unconfined composite…
In the standard model of electroweak interactions the Higgs doublet is replaced by a complex vector doublet and a real vector singlet. The gauge symmetry is broken dynamically by a mixed condensate of the doublet and singlet vector fields.…
A novel, nonperturbative, way to generate chiral symmetry breaking within the linear sigma model for 3 flavours is discussed. After spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the vacuum at the tree level the scalar nonet obtains mass, while…
