Mass generation and supersymmetry

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that coupling a scalar field theory to gauge fields and fermions leads to classical mass generation with supersymmetry properties, suggesting the Higgs particle should be supersymmetric.

Contribution

It introduces a novel mass generation mechanism linking scalar, gauge, and fermionic fields, implying supersymmetry for the Higgs particle.

Findings

All fields become massive at a classical level.

Mass generation mechanism is consistent with supersymmetry.

Higgs particle must be supersymmetric.

Abstract

Using a recent understanding of mass generation for Yang-Mills theory and a quartic massless scalar field theory mapping each other, we show that when such a scalar field theory is coupled to a gauge field and Dirac spinors, all fields become massive at a classical level with all the properties of supersymmetry fulfilled, when the self-interaction of the scalar field is taken infinitely large. Assuming that the mechanism for mass generation must be the same in QCD as in the Standard Model, this implies that Higgs particle must be supersymmetric.
