希格斯机制和附加质量效应

Higgs Mechanism and the Added-Mass Effect

Govind S. Krishnaswami, Sachin S. Phatak

摘要:

在希格斯机制中,弱力的媒介通过与希格斯凝聚相互作用获得质量,导致矢量玻色子质量矩阵。另一方面,一个刚体在无粘性、不可压缩和无旋流体中加速时,通过附加质量张量感受到一个与其加速度线性相关的反作用力。我们发现了这两种效应之间惊人的物理相似性,并提出了一本与它们相关的词典。这种对应关系将规范李代数转化为物体可以运动的方向空间,将相关物体形状中的规范对称性破缺模式编码,并将物体的对称性与标量真空流形的对称性联系起来。新的观点说明了大量的例子,并提出了有趣的问题,特别是在流体类似物的对称性破缺和希格斯粒子,和场论模拟的附加质量的复合体。

英文摘要:

In the Higgs mechanism, mediators of the weak force acquire masses by interacting with the Higgs condensate, leading to a vector boson mass matrix. On the other hand, a rigid body accelerated through an inviscid, incompressible and irrotational fluid feels an opposing force linearly related to its acceleration, via an added-mass tensor. We uncover a striking physical analogy between the two effects and propose a dictionary relating them. The correspondence turns the gauge Lie algebra into the space of directions in which the body can move, encodes the pattern of gauge symmetry breaking in the shape of an associated body and relates symmetries of the body to those of the scalar vacuum manifold. The new viewpoint is illustrated with numerous examples, and raises interesting questions, notably on the fluid analogs of the broken symmetry and Higgs particle, and the field-theoretic analogue of the added mass of a composite body.
