Spontaneous Symmetry Breakdown

Present status of electroweak precision tests via the weak boson masses is reviewed, emphasizing that the standard SU(2) × U(1) theory is phenomenologically very successful also at quantum correction level. In particular, it is shown that the latest experimental data indicate the existence not only of the whole one-loop corrections but also of the non-decoupling top-quark effects, independent of the Higgs mass, which are a characteristic feature of theories with masses generated by spontaneous symmetry breakdown plus large Yukawa couplings.

We propose a spinorial approach to the unified electroweak interactions, in which no use is made of spontaneous symmetry breakdown. No scalar particles are needed in order to break the symmetry. No reference is made to gauge symmetry. Our approach stresses the role of space–time and isospin symmetries in the build up of the electroweak model. Internal degrees of freedom, such as isospin, are incorporated in the theory by using spinors carrying isospin indices. All vector bosons are described by a rank 2 field in the spinorial and the isospinorial indices. Leptons are accomodated in a rank 1 spinor field and in a rank 2 isospin field as well. The dynamical variables of the theory are the chiral and isochiral components of these fields.

Spontaneous Symmetry Breakdown

In this paper, we elucidate the relation between the restricted Weyl symmetry and spontaneous symmetry breakdown of conformal symmetry. Using a scalar–tensor gravity, we show that the restricted Weyl symmetry leads to spontaneous symmetry breakdown of a global scale symmetry when the vacuum expectation value of a scalar field takes a nonzero value. It is then shown that this spontaneous symmetry breakdown induces spontaneous symmetry breakdown of special conformal symmetry in a flat Minkowski spacetime, but the resultant Nambu–Goldstone boson is not an independent physical mode but expressed in terms of the derivative of the dilaton which is the Nambu–Goldstone boson of the global scale symmetry. In other words, the theories which are invariant under the general coordinate transformation and the restricted Weyl transformation exhibit a Nambu–Goldstone phase where both special conformal transformation and dilatation are spontaneously broken while preserving the Poincaré symmetry.
