摘要
We analyse symmetry breaking in general gauge theories paying particular attention to the underlying geometry of the theory. In this context we find two natural metrics upon the vacuum manifold: a Euclidean metric associated with the scalar sector, and another generally inequivalent metric associated with the gauge sector. Physically, the interplay between these metrics gives rise to many of the non-perturbative features of symmetry breaking.
