A statistical superfield and its observable consequences

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new fundamental superfield with an Ising-like action that undergoes symmetry-breaking near the Planck scale, leading to observable differences from standard physics such as a vanishing cosmological constant and modified particle interactions.

Contribution

It introduces a novel superfield model with unique symmetry-breaking and topological defect features, resulting in a low-energy theory with distinctive physical predictions.

Findings

Cosmological constant vanishes in the model

Fermions have an extra coupling to gravity

Modified gravitational interaction of W-bosons

Abstract

A new kind of fundamental superfield is proposed, with an Ising-like Euclidean action. Near the Planck energy it undergoes its first stage of symmetry-breaking, and the ordered phase is assumed to support specific kinds of topological defects. This picture leads to a low-energy Lagrangian which is similar to that of standard physics, but there are interesting and observable differences. For example, the cosmological constant vanishes, fermions have an extra coupling to gravity, the gravitational interaction of W-bosons is modified, and Higgs bosons have an unconventional equation of motion.
