Spontanteous symmetry breaking and Higgs' mechanism in the nonsymmetric Kaluza-Klein theory

Journal Article · · Ann. Phys. (N.Y.); (United States)
The nonsymmetric Kaluza-Klein theory unifying Moffat's theory of gravitation, the Yang-Mills' field and the Higgs' fields are constructed in a geometric manner. Spontaneous symmetry breaking, the Higg's mechanism and mass generation in the theory are discussed. The connection between R/sub +/ invariance (dilatation on the space-time) from Moffat's theory of gravitation and U(1)/sub F/ from GUts, is proposed within the framework of fermion number conservation.
