Does symmetry breaking mean less symmetry

Creators

Description

A symmetry breaking mechanism, in which the Higgs potential is replaced by the corresponding orbit, is discussed in the framework of classical field theory. It is shown that a variational principle with the Higgs field constrained to the orbit yields the required dynamics of the matter and the gauge fields without giving rise to a Higgs boson
