Unified theory of weak, strong, and electromagnetic interactions: Spontaneous breaking of the symmetry of a vacuum

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that the presence of the additional symmetry discussed in [1] induces additional gauge fields, which can be held responsible for strong interactions of nucleons. In the spontaneous breaking of the symmetry of a vacuum the particles corresponding to these fields acquire masses. The latter are estimated. It is noted that in a special case the given theory goes over to the Weinberg-Salam theory describing weak and electromagnetic interactions of leptons.
