We explore the possibility that the Higgs boson of the standard model be actually a member of a larger family, by showing that a more elaborate internal structure naturally arises from geometrical arguments, in the context of a partly original handling of gauge fields which was put forward in previous papers. A possible mechanism yielding the usual Higgs potential is proposed. New types of point interactions, arising in particular from two-spinor index contractions, are shown to be allowed.

Gauge field theory without groups

Non-standard topics underlying a partly original approach to gauge field theory are concisely introduced, expressing ideas that were broached in several papers and, eventually, exposed in an…

A first-order Lagrangian theory of fields with arbitrary spin

The bundles suitable for a description of higher-spin fields can be built in terms of a 2-spinor bundle as the basic `building block'. This allows a clear, direct view of geometric constructions…

Two-spinor tetrad and Lie derivatives of Einstein-Cartan-Dirac fields

An integrated approach to Lie derivatives of spinors, spinor connections and the gravitational field is presented, in the context of a previously proposed, partly original formulation of a theory of…

On the Notions of Energy Tensors in Tetrad-Affine Gravity

We are concerned with the precise modalities by which mathematical constructions related to energy tensors can be adapted to a tetrad-affine setting. We show that, for fairly general gauge field…

Higgs boson as a dilaton

We study possible phenomenological consequences of the recently proposed new approach to the Weinberg-Salam model. The electroweak theory is considered as a gravity and the Higgs particle is…

Dilaton as the Higgs boson

We propose a model where the role of the electroweak Higgs field is played by the dilaton. The model contains terms which explicitly violate gauge invariance; however, it is shown that this violation…

TETRAD GRAVITY, ELECTROWEAK GEOMETRY AND CONFORMAL SYMMETRY

A partly original description of gauge fields and electroweak geometry is proposed. A discussion of the breaking of conformal symmetry and the nature of the dilaton in the proposed setting indicates…

What is the origin of the mass of the Higgs boson

The purpose of this paper is to present a unified description of mass generation mechanisms that have been investigated so far and that are called the Mach and Higgs proposals. In our mechanism,…

Ultraviolet complete electroweak model without a Higgs particle

Abstract.An electroweak model with running coupling constants described by an energy dependent entire function is utraviolet complete and avoids unitarity violations for energies above 1 TeV. The…

Natural Conformal Extensions of the Standard Model

Using the renormalisation group framework we classify different extensions of the standard model according to their degree of naturality. A new relevant class of perturbative models involving…

A Remark on the Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Mechanism in the Standard Model

In this paper we consider the Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Mechanism (SSBM) in the Standard Model of particles in the unitary gauge. We show that the computation usually presented of this mechanism…

Conformal Extensions of the Standard Model with Veltman Conditions

Using the renormalization group framework we classify different extensions of the standard model according to their degree of naturality. A new relevant class of perturbative models involving…

Symmetry breaking via internal geometry

This paper finds a mechanism for interpreting the Higgs scalar field as a feature of the geometry of the internal space while retaining the successful aspects of theHiggs mechanism and spontaneous symmetry breaking.
