Abstract
A geometrical approach to produce the mass of particles is derived. The results could be suitably tested at LHC. Starting from a 5D unification scheme, we show that all the known interactions could be induced by a symmetry breaking of the non-unitary \(GL(4)\)-group of diffeomorphisms. The further gravitational degrees of freedom, emerging from the reduction mechanism in 4D, eliminate the hierarchy problem generating a cut-off comparable with electroweak scales.
