arXiv: hep-lat/9603007 · 2007-05-23

## TL;DR

This paper investigates how a heavy quark family can naturally emerge as the energetically favored state in a lattice chiral gauge theory with four-quark interactions, analyzing symmetry breaking and composite modes.

## Contribution

It introduces a lattice approach incorporating four-quark interactions to demonstrate the spontaneous emergence of a heavy quark family as the ground state.

## Key findings

- Heavy quark family emergence is energetically favored.
- Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs in the model.
- Composite modes significantly influence the ground state energy.

## Abstract

Within the framework of the ``Rome approach'' for a lattice chiral gauge theory, the four-quark interaction with flavour symmetry is included. We analyse spontaneous symmetry breaking and compute composite modes and their contributions to the ground state energy. As a result, it is shown that the emergence of a heavy quark family is the energetically favoured solution.
