Dilaton from Tractor and Matter Field from Twistor
英文摘要：
Tractors and twistors can be obtained via gauge reduction of the conformal Cartan geometry, thanks to the dressing field method. Perhaps surprisingly, it is possible to reduce the gauge symmetry further still. One can indeed erase Weyl symmetry thanks to the tractor field, in a way reminiscent of how the C^2-scalar field allows to erase SU(2) in the electroweak model. This suggests an alternative to the Weyl or conformal spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) that some authors proposed as improvement for Standard Model physics or inflationary cosmology. Here, after gauge reduction via dressing, there remains only the Lorentz gauge symmetry and the twistor field becomes - for all practical purposes - a Dirac spinor field. In a very simple and natural toy model, the latter acquires a mass through Lorentz SSB due to the VEV of the Weyl-invariant tractor field.
