M. Novello, E. Bittencourt
TL;DR
This paper proposes a unified theoretical framework combining Mach and Higgs mechanisms, suggesting gravity acts as a catalyst, to explain the origin of the Higgs boson mass.
Contribution
It introduces a novel unified model that integrates Mach and Higgs mass generation proposals, providing a new perspective on the Higgs boson's mass origin.
Findings
Gravity acts as a catalyst in mass generation.
Unified framework combines Mach and Higgs mechanisms.
Provides an answer to the Higgs boson mass origin.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a unified description of mass generation mechanisms that have been investigated so far and that are called the Mach and Higgs proposals. In our mechanism, gravity acts merely as a catalyst and the final expression of the mass depends neither on the intensity nor on the particular properties of the gravitational field. We shall see that these two strategies to provide mass for all bodies that operate independently and competitively can be combined into a single unified theoretical framework. As a consequence of this new formulation we are able to present an answer to the question: what is the origin of the mass of the Higgs boson?
