Magnetic monopoles in unified gauge theories

It is of interest to inquire whether gauge vector mesons acquire mass through interaction; by a gauge vector meson we mean a Yang-Mills field associated with the extension of a Lie group from global to local symmetry. The importance of this problem resides in the possibility that strong-interaction physics originates from massive gauge fields related to a system of conserved currents. In this note, we shall show that in certain cases vector mesons do indeed acquire mass when the vacuum is degenerate with respect to a compact Lie group.

Broken Symmetry and the Mass of Gauge Vector Mesons

Creation of matter is possible in the cosmological context, without cost of energy. This creation is regulated by the laws of quantum mechanics and general relativity. These elements are used to conceive a singularity-free causal open homogeneous isotropic cosmology. The history of the universe unfolds in two stages: the “fireball” production stage, which occurs as the response to a spontaneous local disturbance, is followed by free expansion. The latter extrapolates back to the former to avoid the initial “big-bang” singularity.
