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 that such questions cannot be definitely answered in the context of electroweak geometry.read more

Positive spaces, generalized semi-densities, and quantum interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the basics of quantum particle physics on a curved Lorentzian background are expressed in a formulation which has original aspects and exploits some non-standard mathematical notions, such as positive spaces and generalized semi-densities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Extensions of Electroweak Geometry and Higgs Interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the possibility that the Higgs boson of the standard model is 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-spinor geometry and gauge freedom
TL;DR: Gauge freedom in quantum particle physics is shown to arise in a natural way from the geometry of two-spinors (Weyl spinors), and a special ansatz of the kind "the system defines the geometry" is discussed in connection with the stated results as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frölicher-smooth geometries, quantum jet bundles and BRST symmetry
TL;DR: In this paper, the notion of smoothness introduced by Frolicher and exploited by several authors in the study of functional bundles is applied to a formulation of BRST symmetry in a gauge theory of the Yang-Mills type.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the geometry of ghosts
TL;DR: In this article, a general rule for the constructions of free quantum fields and their conjugates is proposed, yielding the needed fundamental properties with regard to contractions, super-commutators, field momentum and Hamiltonian, and other quantities.

The quantum theory of fields
TL;DR: Weinberg as discussed by the authors presented a self-contained, up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to supersymmetry, a highly active area of theoretical physics, including supersymmetric algebras.

Metric affine gauge theory of gravity: Field equations, Noether identities, world spinors, and breaking of dilation invariance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present explicit models for a symmetry breakdown in the cases of the Weyl (or homothetic) group, the SL(4, R), or the GL(4-R) covering subgroup.

Metric-Affine Gauge Theory of Gravity: Field Equations, Noether Identities, World Spinors, and Breaking of Dilation Invariance
TL;DR: In this article, a Lagrangian formalism and corresponding Noether machinery are presented for symmetry breakdown in the cases of the Weyl (or homothetic) group, the ${SL}(4,R)$ or the ${GL} (4, R)$ in four dimensions.
