Spontaneous Breaking of Gauge Groups to Discrete Symmetries
Feb 26, 2017Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
Many models of beyond Standard Model physics connect flavor symmetry with a discrete group. Having this symmetry arise spontaneously from a gauge theory maintains compatibility with quantum gravity and can be used to systematically prevent anomalies. We minimize a number of Higgs potentials that break gauge groups to discrete symmetries of interest, and examine their scalar mass spectra.Note:
