Higgsless Electroweak Theory following from the Spherical Geometry

TL;DR

This paper proposes a Higgsless electroweak model based on spherical geometry, where vector boson and electron masses are generated naturally without a Higgs mechanism, matching Standard Model masses.

Contribution

It introduces a novel Higgsless electroweak theory using spherical geometry, eliminating the need for a Higgs field to generate particle masses.

Findings

Masses of vector bosons and electrons match Standard Model values

The model naturally generates particle masses without a Higgs mechanism

The Lagrangian formulation is consistent with known electroweak physics

Abstract

A new formulation of the Electroweak Model with 3-dimensional spherical geometry in the target space is suggested. The free Lagrangian in the spherical field space along with the standard gauge field Lagrangian form the full Higgsless Lagrangian of the model, whose second order terms reproduce the same fields with the same masses as the Standard Electroweak Model. The vector bosons and electron masses are generated automatically, so there is no need in special mechanism.
