We have studied here electroweak symmetry breaking and baryogenesis from the viewpoint of topological mass generation through chiral anomaly. It is shown that the SU(2) gauge symmetry of the electroweak theory breaks in two stages. In the final stage we have Z-strings produced at the phase transition. We have also studied the problem of baryogenesis in this formalism and the ratio of the baryon–antibaryon is found to be in good agreement with the observed value.

Topological Higgs mechanism in higher dimensions is analyzed when ordinary Higgs potential exists. It is shown that if 1-form B field becomes massive by the ordinary Higgs mechanism, another D-2 form C field also becomes massive through topological term in addition to the topological mass generation by the topological Higgs mechanism. Moreover, we investigate this mechanism in 3-dimensional theories, that is to say, Chern-Simons theory and more general theory.
