TL;DR
This paper explores how anomalous quantisation of instantons in pure U(2) gauge theory can model leptons and the Higgs boson, providing a novel theoretical framework for fundamental particles.
Contribution
It introduces a new approach linking instanton configurations in U(2) gauge theory to the structure of leptons and the Higgs boson in the Standard Model.
Findings
Existence of non-trivial self-dual instanton configurations in pure U(2) gauge theory.
A model with six left and six right fermions plus a scalar doublet representing leptons and Higgs.
Potential to unify gauge theory instantons with Standard Model particle content.
Abstract
Anomalous quantisation of instantons allows non-trivial (anti) self-dual configurations to exist for pure U(2) gauge theory in four-dimensional Euclidean space-time and to be used as ground state of the model. Six left fermions together with six right fermions and one complex scalar doublet describe the largest possible vacuum. This structure is just enough to represent the leptons and Higgs boson in the Standard Model.
