Gomes, Henrique (2025) Particles without symmetry. [Preprint]

Text Particles.pdf Download (625kB)

Abstract

The standard model of particle physics relies heavily on the idea of symmetry. But recently, a new geometry-first picture has been proposed in which the relevant symmetries do not appear explicitly \citep{Gomes_internal}. Here, I extend the initial correspondence to include alternative---and more transparent---accounts of spontaneous symmetry breaking and of the Yukawa coupling. These reformulations allow us to replace explanations that employ typical particle physics ideas and terminology with ones that are phrased geometrically, e.g. in terms of vector fields and their angles.
