Higgs mechanism SU(24)#SU(24)->U(1)EM

TL;DR

This paper proposes a Higgs mechanism-based model with a specific symmetry breaking pattern that generates masses for all fermions, including neutrinos, and results in massive vector bosons with quantized charges, potentially aiding unification efforts.

Contribution

The model introduces a gauge-invariant approach to fermion mass generation using non-trivial scalar ground states, extending the Higgs mechanism to a SU(24) symmetry breaking pattern.

Findings

Masses for all fermions, including neutrinos, are generated.

Massive vector bosons with specific charge values emerge.

The model may contribute to unification of vector interactions.

Abstract

The suggested model permits to construct gauge-invariant expressions bringing to the masses of all the fermions, included the neutrinos. The model realizes Higgs mechanism. It is based on the presence of non-trivial ground states of a scalar field. An arbitrary fixed ground state generates the masses of all the particles. The selected symmetry is based on the fact that the sum of the electric charges of all the well-known fermions (taking into account the partition of the quarks by colors) is equal to 0. As a result of the Higgs mechanism massive vector bosons appear. They bring the charges: 0,\pm 1/3,\pm 2/3,\pm 1. It may be, the model will be of interest from the point of view of the unification of all the vector interactions.
