The mass generation ofU(1) chiral-gauge theory in four dimensions

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

A possible mechanism for the dynamical mass generation of the standard electroweak theory is suggested in the light of the fact that quantization procedures could not maintain the gauge symmetry of the electroweak theory, even though the anomalies of the system had been eliminated by adjusting the fermion content. The mass ratioM W/M Z=cosϑ w is guaranteed. We present the discussions concerning the gauge symmetry breakdown of aU(1) chiral gauge theory in four dimensions and related problems such as renormalizability and unitarity.
