On the origin of mass and the electroweak mass spectrum without Higgs

  • 1. Espirito Santo Univ., Vitoria, ES (Brazil). Dept. de Fisica

Description

In a Causality Preserving Manifold Formalism (CPMF), which is based on a new model of spacetime, masses are consequences of spacetime structure symmetries. The mass spectrum of a set of non Abelian fields is solely determined from its Lagrangian kinematic term, in a way independent of any kind of interactions and without any extra field (no Higgs, no Yukawa couplings etc). After a brief review about this CPMF, the origin and meaning of mass is discussed and then illustrated with the vector boson sector of the SU(2) x U(1) electroweak theory. (author)
