标准模型和暴胀中的Weyl规范对称性及其自发破缺

Weyl gauge symmetry and its spontaneous breaking in Standard Model and inflation

D. M. Ghilencea, Hyun Min Lee

摘要:

我们讨论了局部(规范)Weyl对称性及其自发破缺,并将其应用于标准模型(SM)和暴胀之外的模型构建。在标量场与里奇标量的非最小耦合的模型中,共形不变,正牛顿常数的标量场vev的自发产生需要标量场的负动力学项,反之亦然。这在具有附加外尔规范对称性的模型中自然是可以避免的。外尔规范场$ω_μ$耦合到类SM拉格朗日量的标量扇区,但不耦合到费米子扇区。场$ω_μ$经历了一个施图克尔伯格机制,并在标量扇区中“吃掉”(径向模式)可能是戈德斯通场(标量场$ρ$)后变得巨大。在$ω_μ$退耦之前,该声子可以作为UV调节剂,在{ \it量子}水平上保持Weyl对称性,与解决层次问题有关.解耦后的$ω_μ$,标量势仅取决于剩余的(角变量)标量场,可以是希格斯场,暴胀子等,我们表明,成功的通货膨胀,然后与这些标量场之一确定为暴胀子。虽然我们的方法是在黎曼几何中导出的,但为了避免鬼,引入了$ω_μ$,自然的框架是Weyl几何,对于相同的物质光谱,它可以产生相同的拉格朗日,直到总导数。

英文摘要:

We discuss the local (gauged) Weyl symmetry and its spontaneous breaking and apply it to model building beyond the Standard Model (SM) and inflation. In models with non-minimal couplings of the scalar fields to the Ricci scalar, that are conformal invariant, the spontaneous generation by a scalar field(s) vev of a positive Newton constant demands a negative kinetic term for the scalar field, or vice-versa. This is naturally avoided in models with additional Weyl gauge symmetry. The Weyl gauge field $ω_μ$ couples to the scalar sector but not to the fermionic sector of a SM-like Lagrangian. The field $ω_μ$ undergoes a Stueckelberg mechanism and becomes massive after "eating" the (radial mode) would-be-Goldstone field (dilaton $ρ$) in the scalar sector. Before the decoupling of $ω_μ$, the dilaton can act as UV regulator and maintain the Weyl symmetry at the {\it quantum} level, with relevance for solving the hierarchy problem. After the decoupling of $ω_μ$, the scalar potential depends only on the remaining (angular variables) scalar fields, that can be the Higgs field, inflaton, etc. We show that successful inflation is then possible with one of these scalar fields identified as the inflaton. While our approach is derived in the Riemannian geometry with $ω_μ$ introduced to avoid ghosts, the natural framework is that of Weyl geometry which for the same matter spectrum is shown to generate the same Lagrangian, up to a total derivative.
