Spontaneous SU(2) symmetry violation in the SU(2){sub L} Multiplication-Sign SU(2){sub R} Multiplication-Sign SU(4) electroweak model

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei
A new approach to electroweak (EW) composite scalars is developed starting from the fundamental gauge interaction on high scale. The latter is assumed to have the group structure SU(2){sub L} Multiplication-Sign SU(2){sub R} Multiplication-Sign SU(4), where SU(4) is the Pati-Salam color-lepton group. The topological EW vacuum filled by instantons is explicitly constructed and the resulting equations for fermion masses exhibit spontaneous SU(2) flavor symmetry violation with possibility of very large mass ratios.
