Reggeization of gauge vector mesons and unified theories

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
;
An arbitrary, renormalizable non-Abelian gauge theory with gauge group G, and arbitrary scalar and fermion representation structure is considered. It is shown that all the gauge vector mesons of the theory lie on a Regge trajectory if and only if G is semisimple, i.e., Abelian subgroups are excluded. Implications for unified and grand unified theories of the weak and electromagnetic interactions are discussed. The photon, which does not Reggeize in the Weinberg-Salam theory, will lie on a Regge trajectory in a grand unified theory. If the Higgs-meson mass of the electroweak theory is large (> or approx. = 300 GeV, say), then Regge recurrences of the intermediate vector bosons should occur at energies of the order of 2--4 TeV. If the Higgs boson of the unified theory is light (< 100 GeV), then Regge recurrences of the gauge mesons are not expected for energies below the grand-unification mass of order ..mu../sub W//sup ts2/ exp(1/g/sup 2/).
