Abers & Lee -Bernstein- Gauge Theories
PDF · 126 pages · 22.4 MB
Open PDF file
A bound set combining the Abers and Lee review article "Gauge Theories" (Physics Reports 9C, 1973) with Phil's own handwritten notes from 1974 and 1977. The contents list covers gauge invariance, spontaneous symmetry breaking, the Goldstone theorem, the Higgs mechanism, weak interaction phenomenology, PCAC, the Weinberg-Salam model, heavy lepton models and model building. It also adds notes from a talk Phil gave in 1975. The handwritten pages are largely unreadable in the extracted text, so this description is approximate.

9 Thisisjustthefirst13longsections whichcomprise thesecondpartofAbers
andLee's review ofgauge theory. Ifound thesection verydifficult, Manythings I
cannot derive without muchwork. Thisisthesecond timeIhavereadthis, last’time
was long time ago with Hassam Arfai.
Ihavedecomposed thesection into’ subsections because somuchinformation
ispresent here. Thegeneral domain here isfirst-quantized physics, like afirst
quantized harmonic oscillator. There arebras andkets’ andoperators. There areOperators
like Hthe hamiltonian. Things are dont mainly inthe Heisenberg-States picture. The
“systen" ofinterest isdescribed inthis section byonecoordinate g,operator Q.Thus,
. there are nolagrangian densities, nofield theory atall..
Ifwedivide physics intothese areas: classigal physics, quantum physics,
classical field theory, quantum @ield theory, then this section falls into the second
area. Path integrals are always about amplitudes, and that always means quantum physics.
Ipresume that inthenext section wewill govver toquantum field theory bymaking _
these changes: corrdinate operator Qreplaced byfield operator J(x). Lagrangian
replacedbysxaxekimexspaceintegralofLagrangiandensity.OtherwiseI’betthings ro)are much the same, but Ihave not read that section yet. :
:
(a)_Path integral idea. Amplitude togofrom here tothere isdivided into little times.
Ateachtime, youintegrate over allpossible positions. Hence (11.5) Since time
evolution ofaHeisenberg state maybewritten inthe form (11.2), you canwrite the
*amplitude tomove alittle bitintime asin(11.9). Notice that things were converted
toScrodinger states andthe Hamiltonian operator was putininterms ofSchrodinger
operators Pand Q,although this was never’ stated.
Themain point of(11.9) isthat youhave expressed aquantum amplitude interms
ofthec-number classical hamiltonian. Since each‘mini-amplitude isapintegration,
whenyoustickalltheseinto(11.5), yougetthekeyresult (11.11), Again,this
gives the amplitude togofrom here tothere, a‘finite distance, interms ofthe
classical c-numbér Hamiltonian H(p,q). Theprice paid togetthis result however
isarether complicated calculational structure ,namely thepath intégral.
Incertain simple cases where H(p,q) hassimple form, youcanexecute allthe
dpintegrations andgetthesame amplitude asa"path integral" [dq] only ofthe
@phasorwhosephaseistheclassicalaction,ie,timeintegralofthelagrangian. re)Remember, thisactioniscalledclassical onlywhenyouputintheclassical trajectorya(t).
(b)Incases where theHamiltonian doesnothevethesimple formof4p”+V(q), you
canstilldothe[dp]integration andcomeupwithaneffective ‘Jagrangian andthereforeaneffective actionunderyourtime[dq]integration. Afamouscalculation alongthis{oy
line wasthat ofYang andLeein1962, Itseems obvious that youcanalways find. an
effective action, because youJust dothedp.integrals andseewhat results.
(c)Herewefind astunning result:. itisvery easy towrite thematrix element between
twoatates (here just Heisenberg q-states, butingeneral anystates) ofatime ordered
product ofcoprdinate operators. Ususally ithasbeen myexperience that thetime
ordering complicated things, but here itmakes the result very simple. You start with
thepath-integral representation ofthe(q't'/qt) amplitude. Youspread itappart.ang
stickinasmanyQoperators asyouwant,allina[f0P| Inthepathintegral represntation,
allyouneed doisinsert regular c-number qoordinate functions like a(t,). Again, you
seetherole ofthepath-integral asconverting from quantum mechanics toclassical
|mechanics.
.
(a)Herewediscuss,the idea ofadding a.source term J(t) a(t)tothat Hamiltonian in
theexponent. Intheharmonic oscialltor, J(t) isprecisly thedriving function or
external force. Ofcourse J(t)isac-number function. justlikeeverything elseupthereintheexponent. [@)
. You can goontocompute the amplitude inthe presence ofthis source term.’ As
“apathintegral, itis(11,29), bigdeal. ‘Theprecise definition ofW[J]istheamplitude forsystem tostayinground state under presence ofJ.Ground state means
loweset energy state ,eigenstate ofhamiltonian H,soJQisaperturbstion ifyoulike.
However, then end-twist integrations thatconvert from(0/0)? to(at/q) arein
effect multipliciative constants, once you take certain large time limits. Hence you
getresult (11.35) which shows W[J] asthe[dq]integral oftheeffective lagrangian
dealwiththesource added inthere. :,
Theusefulness ofthegenerating function W(J) isthat ifyouteke itsfunctional
derivatives withrespect tothesource, yougenerate,after setting J=0,-the matrix
elements oftimeordezed products. Infield theory, these willofcourse bethe
Greens Functions. SoW(J) istheGreens Functions generating functions.
(e) One slightly unpleasant aspect ofthe W(J) thing isthat you end uphaving toput
large imaginary time limits on$bur action integral rather than reel limits. This is
avoided when you deal instead with the, Buclidean version. Just compare (11,35) and
(11.36)toseethe@ifference betweentheregularandeuclidean generating functions.: Ga
Theitsarevery important inthedifference. Inthecase ofWzyouhave regulr real
time infinite endpoints.
(f)Thefinal subsection works outtheharmonic osciallator example. Anyexample is :
ofcourse defined byits lagrangian orhamiltonian. Sotake this big machine and
CO)itiect theLagrangian (11.38) andturnthecrank, Firstoff,youcancalculate thething (q'/a)" explicitly. Theanswer isgivenin(11.0) and(11.41) andT'11bet
this isone bun-buster excercise.
Next, youfold intheground state fortheH.0. togettheexact xW[J]
generating function, Answer tekes thestupendously simple form shown in(11.45). No
doubt Icould dothis entire calculation indetail. Youcanseethat ifyoutake
thesecond derivative ofthisw[J]youeregoing togetthepropagator D,.Idont
really know howtointerpret this "time propagator" because wearenotinquantum
field theory, wearejust inquantum physics. Theform isvery suggestive, I'msure
Feynam has some words onthis thing.
Notice that thetrue propagator hasphasing expentntials.
Nowthewhole thing isredone intheEuclidean case. Thetrick isused here
forthefirst time obobserving that W[J] isessentially theexponentiated classical
action, Ie,ifyouputinthecalssical trajectory, thecorrection vanishes tofirst
order. AsfarasJ-dependence isconcerned, therest isjust aconstant. Sowe
are down to(11.52).
Next,howtocomputetheclassicalaction?Theclassicaltrajectoryisfound fe)bysolving thedriven harmonic oscillatro equation, ie,(11.53). Thesolution isgiven
in(11.56), andnowyouseethatDgisaGreen's function inthedifferential equation
sense, IB,itsolves (11.54). Butthiseuclidean thing hasnophase init,totally
dampt.
So,havingfoundtheclassical trajectory q(t),youdumpthatbackintoSs, andcomputetheEuclidean classical actionS,(4,)+Thisgives(11.57).Since W(J) isthesame asthis expo'd classieal action, youget(11.58).
Either way,yougetthesamebasic formforthegenerating function, andyou
seewhat happens ifyoutake asecond functional derivative andset0=0.
NowIseethemeaning ofthepropagator D:itisjust thesolution tothe
harmonic oscialltor intheabsence ofsource J.Ie,thepropagator isthe“free
Propagator" which describes howthesystem moves withnoperturbation. Sameconcept
isused inquantum field theory.

Harmonic Oscillator asApplication ofPath Integral Technique.
fo) 1.Oneproblem youcandoistocompute thepropagator G(x',t':x,t) inregular quantum mechanics taking asyour Hamiltonian aparticle inaharmonic |
potential well with anadded driving force term, This isapath integral
calculation, ifyou like, and you can dothe whole thing indetail; the
-answer isquoted inAbers and Lee. This example shows how you can compute
aquantum amplitude (the propagator) interms ofthe classical action.
2.But here we are more interested incomputing the generating functional
called W(J).° Roughly speaking, this isthe limit T= +i ofthe propagator.
Rigorously itisthe ground state toground state amppitude. Ifwedbnot care
about mltiplicative factors, then wecan use Colemans vulgar gaussian
path integral idea tosee what we get.
3.The exact result isderived onpage 68ofAL. Ie, take the exact Feynman
Hibbs quantum propagator and fold inground states, then take time limits.
Result is(11.45) which isalso the result Iwila get below.
4. Myfirst method isto identify the operator &by immediately rotating
the contour with novariable change. Then Iapply Sidney's forma add
fo) getananswer. Theproblemwiththismethodisthata)the integral isinfact phasing, not adying gaussian, sothe whole
thingisquestionable. b) that fact causes you toneed an extra rule to define your propagator.
You have to let, be alittle below real aris.
5.The second method isdifferent. Here, Iactually change variables ad get
something that looks more like agaussian. The operator Misdifferent, ad
there isno longer anambiguity. This isthe Euclidean method.
6,But either way works fine; the Euclidean thing just serves todefine more
clearly what you are really doing/
7. So this example is acombimtion of Abers Lee with Colemans integral trick.
The transition tofield theory is made by Coleman, ond he redoes everything
with afree Kelin-Gordan field plus source (field theory analog ofharmonic
oscillator +source). Ofcourse now you see d4x stuff, and things are
covariant.

‘Section 12:PathIntegral Formulation forFieldTheory
(eo) ‘Thebasicpathintegral formulaforthegenerating function isgivenin(12.2).
Itshows integration over both the fields and the canonical field momentte. The
argument ofthe action here isreally the Lagrangian written interms ofthe pand a.
Incertain cases, you can dothe pintegrations toget the more standard form (12.9)
which Coleman uses.
‘The Euclidean stuff ismentioned here. You have toregularize these integrals
byWick rotation and soon.
The two kinds ofgenerators W(J) and Z(J) are defined, and their relation to
"connected" feynman diagarams isstated. Greens functions are written asjderivatives
inthe usual way.
Onpage 74the field integrations are attempted. The characteristic determinant
appears out front, and you get the standard form JxProp xJinthe exponent. In
fact, thepropagator isevenwritten asK"'which Ilike. Thiswasafreefield case.
For the interacting case, they dothe standard trick ofanoperator onthe

moreobviousinthed/dfnotation. ThefactthatthereisnoneedforaWicktheorem fo)ismentioned, and now Iunderstnad the remark.
Wewill not gointo anti-commuting c-numbers. Apparantly just aminor technical
detail.

Section 13: Yang-Mills inthe Coulomb gauge. .
a) Standard Quantization, :.
6 T.Pirst, theYMLagrangian iswritten intheusualway,onlyYMfields oresent. However,the Fand Aave treated asindependent objects. Ofcourse this means ‘that the Euler
equation ontheF-will setthem equal toexpected object asin(13.3). Under local
gauge trensformations, F-transforms asasimple isovector asin(13.2), whereas A
goes asan-isovector with thelittle extra piece. Theu(x) arethegauge functions.
2,Consider all the Euler equations. Separate out-those which have time derivative, see
(13.5) and(13.6). Computing themomenta, youfind that F,,aremomenta ofA;,butthemomentum ofAyvanishes, thusA,isadependent variable; justasinQED.
3.Nowlook attehconstraint equations. (13.8) clearly tells youthat F,,aredependentvariables determined completely bytheAj.Then(13.9) putsacondition aflthePoy
variables sothat not allthree ofthem areindependent. IftheF,; arenot allindependent, then their corresponding fields A,cannot beindépendént. So‘you impose
some Kind ofgauge condition onA,here just theusual Coulomb gauge that divA=0, (13.10).
~heSoonlythetranaverse pieceofAyistruevariables. Ithinkyoucattjust.seta20 aswasdoneinBD.”So,breakF,;intoTandLpiecesasin(3.113. Thequantity F.§L)=F; hasnocurl, andmaytheréfore bewritten asagradient ofsomefasin(13.18).Sothethingfisliketheelectrestatic potential. AndthenFpiscalled E.*

6.Summary tothis point: fortheYang Mills Lagrangian, wehave identified the fields

Rvia3.4)
7.Next, they compute theHamiltonian andget(13.20) which looks right.
68.Thevrocedure uptothispointwasthestandard quantization procedure. Ie,youwouldgoahead andimpose equal time commutators onyour independent objects andgo’from there.
(b)Path integral Method.
1,Now, write down thefull path integtal-generating function: only the‘dynamical
fieldsenter,henceyouget(tx82x}(13.21). Makessensetome. .°2.With very little work, rewrite this generating path integral asin(13.2h). Now
nominally youintegrate over allE,andallA,spatial components, butreally the
two delta functions*restrict you totransverse fields only. ,The determinant turns
outtobefield~independent spissimply ignored. SoIamhappy with (13.24). Of
course itisstill not covariant because you areonly integrating over spatial
cpmponents ofPand Q,sotospeak. : .
3.Next, write 1infancy way (13.25). Here fisinisolation. Rewrite the delta as
theequation involving f,andcompenstate byjacobien determinant det, where cstandstoremind you weare incoulomb gaugé.. The result ofthis step is(1328) which looks
just fine. There are-now three deltas.
4,The rest of.the manipulations are very artifical, noreason tocheck them out. Wehave
: three deltas. Dothe[df] integration toremove onedélta, hence get(13.31). Nowyou
see all spatial field components present. The goal now istoaddthe time components
togetza,covariant formulation. Thetime components aredummied inin(13.32) and.(13.33)
and the final result.is very simple, see (13.34). .
5.The final result says: -integrate over all the fields, but dont forget the Popov
determinant det, andalso dont forget thegauge delta. Then theexponent issimply
your lagrangian. . :
6.Thelast step istoexponentiate thePopov déterminant. Agood method fordealing
with such determinants isgiven using the old trace theorem. But the effective lagrangien
isnotyetdiscussed. ‘Youcansee‘thattheexponentitated determinant isjustgoingtoe correct the lagrangian from (13.38).
- 7Apparantly, the material ofthis ‘gection was the way Fadeev and Popov originally
presented some oftheir work. Started from just the dynamical fields, and then
dummied inall the extra stuff toarrive atthe simple form (13.34).' Obviously
there must besome simpler and more direct way toget this result. Must besome easy
wap toexplain the determinant.
Section 14:Intuitive Approach toQuantization
61,FirstwecopydownW(J)fromlastsection. Canintegrate trivially overtheF.,so
that only [4A] integration remains. Plusyouhave thegauge deita function and
the FPdeterminant. Question: why does this W(J) not look like itdoes ina"normal"
field theory? This isthe question that Fadeev and Popov answered.
2.Intuitive comments: weknow that inagauge theory, thex operator K(Coleman
called A)which appears inthe action isaprojection operator and istherefore
non-invertible. The exponent is"immune" tovariations ofthe fields inthe “longitudinal”
direction. Usually, asyou let some field gotoinfinity, the exponent isdamped. This
was the requirement that the "matrix" Abepositive definite inColeman notes. Here
itseems that ineffect some ofour diagonal matrix elements vanish! Ie, the exponent
isconstant asyougooffinA,direction. Obviously, thelongitudinal integration
then gives adivergence.
Torepair the problem, you should ineffect divide out the orbit volume. Another
way tosey this isthat you should restrict the integration toahypersurface orcross
section f(A) =0which intersects each orbit only once.
a)3.Toillustaate thesituation, AbersandLeetellustodefineadeterminant which isessentially the jacobian from the foff(A) tothe gauge parameter functions called u.
Byplaying with the"normal form (14.8), youcanexpose theorbit volume asin(14.10).
You just divide this out toget your answer!
4.What isthe determinant? You first choose ageuge, this determines £(A+) =0. You
then vary thegauge functions causing avariation inf.Then det isdet(df/du). For
exemple, inCoulomb gauge youcanread offM,from (14.14). Notice that Mhasthe
fordel”times (1+something), where something isfield dependent. Thus, youcannot
just ignore the determinant! Mfor Landau gauge isalso A-dependent, ,(14.15).
5.Finelly, onpage 86itisshown howthe determinant canbeexponentiated by
introducing fermion scalar ghost fields called c.Theeffect istoaddS,tothe
action you already have. Finally, you trivially exponentiate the gauge delta
function togetanother Lagrangian correction oftheform(d,A,)* incaseofLandau.
Once you get everything into the exponent, you can then read off the feynman rules!
These rules are shown inthe table onpage 88, and Ithink Iunderstand now, atlast.
@)_%&everturbation theory with@gaugetheory, youwillingeneral needghosts! Tey
you have toinclude the ghosts asasymbolic part ofyour feynman diagrams. InQED
which isabelian, itturns outthat thedeterminant isA-indep, sonoghosts needed.
Howtounderstand theghost loop expansion business. .
‘@xteghosts arecreated tosimilate adeterminant. Ifthedeterminant isdet,then
theghostaction willbesomething likedxctMcwhereMissomeoperator. For
theghosts, thisisasortof£field theory. Ghosts start outbeing charged scalars,
soitisf°theory with arrows onthelines. Itturns outthatthenonA-dependent
part ofthe operator Mis just BOK, sothe ghost propagator issame asthat of2
massless Klein Gordan field, ie,1/k*
2.Soconsider forthemonent what aQ*field theory looks like. First obvious fact is
that nunber ofexternal particles onaGreens function must beeven, just aswith
usual electron case. Here, the total incoming charge must bezero and all particles have
charge +or-1,hence even. But the object ofmypresent interest isthe vacuum
bubbles expansion. Iknow that w[0] isthe sum ofall vacuum bubbles. Lets show
afew terms:

This looks reasonable, but Ihave never read about such athing. Maybe, though, Iam
now onthe way tomaking sense out ofthe series inthe exponent.

Section 15:Equivalence oftheLandauandCoulomb gauges. _
61.Ithought thatColeman hadmoreorlessconvinced methatthepathintegral was
independent ofwhich surface youtook, andtherefore itwasobvious that all
gauge choices give the same generating function, Buthere, they explicitly compute
therelation betwene Wi,andW,andtheresult isnotthattheyareequal, but
almost equal according to(15.6). Infact they arenotequal, andtheunremormalized
S-matrices arealsonotequal. After renormalization things become equal again.
This isalot more complicated thah Ithought. Right now Iknow nothing about
renormalization theory.

Section 16:Generating Functionals forGreen's functions endpropervertices. _
61.Thisisaverymeatandpotatoes section, crampackedwithusefulideas.
2.Theorem: Thederivatives oftheZ[J]functional givetheconnected greens functions
ofthe shifted fields J. This fact resolves earlier conflict Ihad.
The first derivative ofZdefines the classical field ginpresence ofsource
J.Set J=0toget classical field =v,, thevacuum expectation value ofthe quantum
field.
3.The first Zderivative gies the classical field ®x5inpresence ofJ.Ineffect,
this defines J(J). Toinvert this equation, yop usethe Legendre transform trick.
The dual function iscalled GAMMA, dual toZ. The first derivative ofGamma is-J.
Thehigher #derivatives ofgamma yield theproper vertices o(") withexternal props
amputated. This isstill aslightly amazing fact? Since the variaus derivatives :
starting with m@n=2ofG[f] give theproper vertices, youcanrepresent Gasin(16.20),
Gamma iscalled “the proper vertex generating function". Notice that inthe derivatives
youset$=v just like yousetJ=Oingetting the regular greens functions.
0. 4.Thesuperpotential isalsoagenerating function ofsorts, defined in(16.23). The
coefficient ofeach term inthe sum isthe momentum-space proper vertex greens function
(1egs amputated) evaluated atzero momentum. Whyzero momentum? Because then ,asin
(16.25), thecurvature ofthis function gets identified with mass! Ie,theinverse
renormalized propagator eva,uated atzero momen tum. Notice thet the superpotential
isreally almost the same asthe generating proper vertex functional. Socurvature
equals mass, andslope =0when =v. Therefore, this isagood candidate toapply
the classical field theory analysis onSSB! Ineffect, wehave proved Goldstones to
allorders ofperturbation theory, fora“regular” field theory (ie, nogauge group).
5.Obviously, one would like toknow, given some lagrangian, what the superpotential
V(#) looks like, soyoucanfind itsminima andthen seeifthere isasuperconducting
vacuum ornot. There isaperturbative method tocalculate this V,called the "loop
expansion". The first term isjust the regular potential ofthe lagrangian. Tothis
same lowest order, the Gamma generator isjust the action, soproper vertices are just
the coupling constants inthe lagrangian! Also, tothis order the classicel field is
thesameasthesolution fieldoftheclassical fieldequations. whenyougotothe 6 one loop level, the Ziscorrected byafancy trace. This causes Gamma tobecorrected
bythesame trace, asshown in(16.38). This trace correction then finds itswayinto
the superpotential,
6.The point ismade that ,although itappears that the first fewterms.inthe
potential are divergentg infact they can beabsorbed into renormalized constants. .
7.From (16.44), itappears that tothe extent that lambda issmall, the regular
poetntial isagood estimate for the superpotential. : :

Section 17: Renormalization inthe o-model.
A 1.First, thepunchline. Ifyouknowhowtorenormalize the"symmetric ¢~model"(ie, theU(1) or0(4) invariant lagrangian without that linear term which gives
PCAC), inthe regular mode, then you also know how todorenormalization in
the Goldstone mode, orinthe motel with the linear term added and either mode
activated. The fact that Idont know how torenormalize anything should not block
mefrom getting thegist ofthis section. . .
2.Notice the trick ofhaving one instead ofthree pions for didactic purposes.
You thereby avoid all the pain ofchirality and 0(4) etc eto.
3.Sohere ishow itgoes. You write down your potential with orwithout the
linear term, Ifnolinear term, then the theory has the usual reguler and
2goldstone mode, depending onthe sign of p™. When you turn onthé linear term&sothatof0,itappears from(17.5) thatPsareforced toagoldstone mode
o ietoatheory with superconducting vacuum, ie,sigma field hasnonzero VEV.
Yy
gh4:Sonsider thegenerating function forthesymmetric theory. IfyoutakedeivativesandthensetJ=0,ie,J=(0,0),yougettheéonnected Greensfunctions ofthe pesymmetric theory. Onthe other hand, byevaluating the same derivatives at

5.Now several other rules get slightly modified. Look at(17.15). Usually we
identifythisderivative astheslopeofthepotentialandweexpectittobe fo)zero when $=u, ie,atthe minimal point. Thereason itisnot zero in(17.15) is
that |isthevertex generating function ofthe symmetric theory, not ofthe
theory-with-linear-term, The idea istosolve (17+15) for u.Ie, given that
constant cinthe linear term, what number ucauses (17.15) tobetrue? Then
evaluate higher derivatives ofNatthis point feu andyouwill Green vertices
ofthe theory—with-linear-term.
6,Restate this last point, Ifyou were doing the symmetric (model without the
linear term, you would set o=0 and solve (17.15) for some u.Ie, ingeneral there
issome function u(c). Ie,u=u(c). u=u(o) isthe correct ufor the symmetric
theory and evaluating atthis uwould give the symmetric greens functions in
(17.16). Butevaluating (17.16) atu=u(c) with of0 gives vertices forthe
o-model.
7.Ts, ifyou like, (17.16) gives the general vertex asafunction ofu=u(c).
Byputting indifferent u's, you get the vertices ofdifferent theories.
8,Look atthe equation above (17-19). This relates f"(u) to{'(o) via simple
Taylor series. Ifyour theory isregulr inabsence ofoterm, then regular
theory isdescribed bythis [e\. Adding thectorm gives (u). Thus, ifyou
know the regular theory, you also know the sigma model.
9.The point being made here isalso tHe point made byColeman: ifyour symmetric
lagrangian isrenormaliscable, the fact that itmay have amodef with SSB does
not affect renormalizeabliity,. Here, wehave shown this fact byshowing that
theregulartheoryvertices(toallorders)determine thetheoryatuf0.Also,| AtheufOmaybecaused either bySSB(internal breaking) orbyexternal linear) *
term, Ineither case, renormalization follows from renormalization ofthe w=0
theory. This inturn is well known,
10. Say itonce more: you can drive uaway from 0byeither internal or
external symmetry breaking. Regardless of‘the cause, the theory isstill
renormalizeable aslong asthe u=0 theory isrenroamlizable.
Ll,Ward identities: Ifyourotate your source functions Jatthesame tine
asyour fields, the term Jfstays invariant. This simple fact atonce makes
arelation between two first order derivatives off', Higher derivatives then
give you the more familiar Wara identities.
12, Recall inQED how the Ward identity was helpful inthe renormalization
process. Same thing will happen here, Again, all these Ward identities are
functions ofu, Atus0 they apply tothe regular theory, atsome other u
‘they apply tothe broken theory, spontaneously ornot.
The next task istolearn something about how todorenormalization!

3.Whenisatheory renormalizable? Ie,whatisthepunchlineo ofrsthis high technology? Answer: look back atthe definition ofthe index %.Recall
Coleman's remark that this thing isdefined incomplete disregard ofthe
dimensions ofthecoupling constant. Thus, ifLy=af>,ie,PHI-FIFTH theory,
dim(L) =5and $=+1. Ofcourse dim(L) =4ifyou include dimensions ofthe
couplings constant thatisnoteepoint. The point isthis: ifall %{ofthe various interaction terms are£0, the
theory isrenormalizeable. Asimple result toremember!
Technically this issobecause then only afinitenumber ofcounterterms
arenecessary toimpletent theR-operatjom andachieve renormalization. Obviously O3.—#?theoryisnotrenormalizeable, butaand3theories are.QEDhasPY,ty*which is3/2+3/2 +1=4,hence yes, QED isrenormalizeable, Same goes for the
sigma model since allterms arelike #4,
Dont forget this very simphe and useful result!

removed by the R-prescription.

Put all propagators into usual exponential parametrization. Dothe usual

‘Then choose nsmall enough sothat these endpoint sings goaway. Then you have
desired integral as afunction ofn.
4,4reason this method isnice isthat itpreserves ateveyy step your various
symmetries, since these dont depend ondimension ofspacetime, Recall inBDvol 1
how they kept doing things insuch away astopreserve gauge invariance. I
guess that isdesireable.
5.Big footnote onthe Adler anomolies. Apparently even the fancy dimensional
regularization cannot handle these guys. You really want toavoid anomolies
inaguagetheory.Somelittletheorems: re)a)iftriangle anomoly absent, then all anomolies are absent.
)ifthe triple-gluon fermion loop isanamoly-free, your NAGT isOK.
Infact you can write down anexplicit condition for the xrtatexr loop of
interest. You can gause anomoly cancellation bychoosing particles carefully.
Ithink charmed particle does this inGeorgi Glashow model.
6.Anexample ofthis t*hooft Veltman regularization isdone: the two graphs
which add togive lowest order vacuum polarization inscalar EDtheory. You
have two terms. Bygoing tocomplex n,you find that the second term =0?I
thought you were supposed toget apole? Well, Ireally dont have apy details
here. The idea isclear though.
Section20:FeynmanRulesandrenormalization ofSSGgauketheoreis, Landaugauge, © 121Weconsider «specific model ofagauge theory. Model has 0(3) as“gauge group, so
non-abelian. The only carrier particles are some scaler pions with isospin 1,ie,
SU(2) group. Add inthe gauge fields and the ghosts and figure out the Feynman
rules. For noSSB this israther steaightforward.
2.Atrick tolocate and identify all the necessary counterterms isto scale all the
bare fields andcouplings inacertain way. Then (20.6) and (20.7) gives you allthe
counterterms. Then you renormalize the theory inthe "usual way", ie, you show how
the counterterms fix things uptoany order. For more details see Lee and Zinn-Justin.
3.Now, what happens ifyou.are inthe Goldstone mode, ie, there isssb. Inthe usual
way goahead and define your proper vertex generating functional; wenow have aclassical
field for the isovector ofscalars and for the isovector ofgauge fields.
Suppose there were alinear $+) term inthelagrangian. Here¥isaconstant source and plays the role ofconstant cinthe sigma model. Choose {inz-direction imisospace.
Ascume that this causes thefield §tohave anonzer VEVcalled y,. Soyousolve(20.15) sothat,given aX,youcanfindu/.upoints alsointhezdirection.Sinceyouhavetherefore brokentwoPeugegenerators TyandI,byassumingthat has aVEV pointing inthe I,direction, you expect toget two magsless goldstones.
‘There are referred toasXKffelds.Look’at(20.18).Itsays:supposethatconstant ¥=0sothere really wasnoexplicit breaking inthelagrangian. Butsuppose u,40still. Youareforced toconclude that m,= 0;just statement ofthegoldstone theorem.So,whatdoyoudotogetfeynman ruiés andsoon?Asusual youshiftthe

after the shift, you seem tostill have a-Ytadpole term inthere. Somhow you make
this thing goaway.
Then once this tadpole term iskilled off... you renormalize the theory in
exactly the same way asbefore for the theory without SSB, Notice that there are no
massive vectors here because weare not inthe unitary gauge. Weare inthe Landau
gauge where the field has some mass and isstill inthere. Ie, Iknow that this

the vector gauge fields. But you also see the. -fields asmassless goldstones. In
the U-gauge these goldstones would have been gauged away. Here they are still present.
Somehow they must decouple.
From this lagrangian you read off the feynman rules for this theory inthe goldstone
mode. You see that two ofthe gauge fields are now massive, asjust noted; one isstillmassless (photon); youalsohaveamassive ¥*propagator. Inaddition youhavemasslessghost cfield and that goldstone fields X.
4.But, when yourewrite themassiye vector boson propagator, youseethat ittoohas
some kind ofpiece with poles atk“=0. These are some kind ofawful negative probablitity
scalars, ie, ghosts in another sense.
Asyou would expect, when you gotothe mxS-matrix, you get aglorious cancellation
ofthe three kinds ofmassless bosons sitting inthis theory: the ghosts c,the ghosts
just mentioned, and the goldstones %,. The goldstones "decouple" asexpected.
Summary ofthis section: Given agauge theory, youhave toconsider both possiblities

toshift field with nonzero VEV. This creates goldstones. You then have toshow that

Section 21;TheRe-Gauges.
61.Themodelissetupinrathergeneral terms.Let9besomegaugegroupvectorofmesons, say ofdimension m, ‘These are the Higgs scalars because one will break the
symmetry. Couple inyour gauge fields tothese scalars intheusual way; addtheF,

fancy projection operator isinthere merely toseparate the goldstones from the other

Now, notice in(21.14) that after the shift for SSB, there isadirect coupling of
thegauge fields A,totheHiggs scalars dg. Theyaregoing tochoose afancy gauge
that kills off this coupling. The gauge surface isstated in(21.23) and isalmost
theLandau gauge, but ithasapiece added onto itinvolving the'field. Iguess
there isnothing wrong with choosing Finthis way; recall that itjust had tobe

Finally, you have tocompute the FPdeterminant and then use ghosts toexponentiate

Section 22.Proofthattherenormalized S-matrix isindependent of$
9missection hasseveral distinct partswhichcanbeseparated:
1,First there isanelaborate set ofmanipulations which all lead tothe result
(22.18). That isonebusiness. Then comes another business ofinterpreting the
resultant (22.18).
2.Lets examine this first. Equation (22.18) tells usthat the net effect ofchanging
the gauge surface from FtoF#AF istoadd couplings ofthe source Jtothe fields.
Ican see that indeed (22.18) does say this.
What Idonot understand isthe next conclufia, namely, that when you add terms
which are aninteraction offields with the source J,that merely has the effect of
shifting your various Z's, These shifts are then compensated when you gotothe
renormalized S-matrix, since you divide bythe same Z's.
Thus, the conclusion they claim isthis: ifyou change your generating function
byadding couplings between Jandthefields J,yousimply donotchange the
renormalized S-matrix one iota. Idonot really understand why this isso, but .
Idosee the flow pattern ofthe logic here. Itisthis:
1,Show that changing gauge adds only J.fields term toaction
2.Claim that this does not change renormalized S-matrix.
3. Since changing parameter ¢islike changing gauge, the renormalized S-matrixcannotdependon§. 4Therefore thespurious poles must cangel because they were located ata
§~dependentposition,iedrat$eye fe) 3.Now, howisthis equation (22.18) derived? Onestarts with thegenerating functional
w[J] inenarbitrary gauge F.Onethen shifts thefields gtonewfields g*inarather
peculiar way such that the group paratmers which Icall©(andtheycallu)depende on thefields inacertain way, This little trick enables you toderive the Ard-Takahashi
identiy forthis theory, ieappears aseither (22.10) er(22.11), Basically, this is
astatement ofgauge invariance interms ofthe generating function. Iamsure there
isaneasier way tocomprehend this thing.
One then computes the change inWifyou change Fbyasmall amount. This isshown
in(22.16), TheWITisthen recast intheform (22.17), andyou finally arrive at
(22.18) which isthe desired result.
4.Itseems tomethat Coleman convinced methat the generating functional was somehow
independent ofthe gauge surface you chose. But now itseems that that statementx
istrue only after you renormalize.
Section 23:Weakcorrections tomuonmagnetic moment.
1,IntheWeinberg-Salam typemodel,theanamolous magnetic momentdaetotheweak 6 graphs which convert muon into Wboson before higting vertex, these contributionsarealloforder Gm where m=mass ofmuon, But Gm =g%¢@,soroughlytheweakcorrections areoftheordera(m/my), Theregular electromagnetic 5anomoly isoforder {, soforthe muon, theweak corrections aredown by(.1/30)* =10°”.
Buttheexperimental muonsnomoly isonlyknow toJ,places, sothiswillnotbetoo relevant. Notice that for the electron, you will bedown anadditional 10-4 becausze
electron mass sosmall, thus weak anomoly forelectron inWeinberg Salam isorder 10-9
well beyond any experiment.
2.Inmodels with heavy leptons like the Coleman Glashow, the E-exchange diagrams
like those shown onpage 133 arestronger than theWeinberg graphs bypower (mg/m, )whichratiocouldbe(B/-2)=20,somaybethesegraphsinthistheorywillcontribute something oforder 10" tothe muon correction, and you could measure it??
3.‘Theactual calculation 1sdoneinanRggauge. Youreadoffthenecessary vertices from your set ofFeynman rules, and your final result comes out asshown in(23.47),
or(23.51) asanumber. Answer isabout .5(M/m) inlast place, soifratio were 50,
you would have acorrection ofabout 25units. The experimental error is32units.
4y.Onething youseeisthis: ,ifM,islarger than 10GeV, thecreated correction will
belarge and take you out ofrange oferror. Thus, you have xxkmwmx anupper bound on
the Mmass inthis theory.

2.The "g-model"wasinvented byGellmanntLevy in1960,Jnthismodel,youhavethe nucleons asiso-doublet andpionasiso-triplet, andsingle field called o.Atthe
start, both thepion and signma have mass, butthe nucleons donot. After shifting
the sigma field due tohumped potential, nucleons acquire mass. Inprocess, Ithink
thesigma loses itmass, ormaybe thepion does. Yes. pion loses mass. This isjust
agoldstone example. This theory also has C.A.C. since itischiral invariant. The
idea that PCAC results from non-zero pion mass isintroduced here maybe for first time.
This Gellmann-Levy thing came beofre Goldstone paper.
3.In1962, itwasthought thattheGoldstone Theorem wasproved andthatyouwerestuck
therefore with massless bosons ifyou have asuperconducting vacuum. Higgs found the
loophole. This loophole has something todowith asubtlety ofgauge invariance and
gauge choice, theidea that A,isnota4-vector ifyousitinradiation gauge which
is non-covariant.

4Higgsmakesasimplemodel: chagged scalarfieldf,and$.andphoton. Bothscalars

Qs weds solar field1ikeJtogetgoingbecause youneedafieldthatcanhave

bythe“photons butothers stay around inthetheory.
5.Later Higgs in1966 shows how towrite legrangians directly interms ofthe massive
vector fields.
.
6.Important point: intheshifted Lagrangian, theoriginal symmetry isnolonger present
andisextremely broekn, InNature, thesymmetry maybeundetectible directly.
7.In1961, Englert andBrout doacovariant trip andfind that photon propagator gets
shifted. Thisis(Higgs mechanism indisguise.) Nodoubt lotsofmessy field theory here.
8.Idea thet conserved current maynotincertain cases imply aconserved charge! This is
new tome. GHK showed this in1964. Kibble worked this upin1967.
9.InWeinberg unified theory, one might besurprised that the photon and Whave such
tremendously different mass. But"broekn symmetry" inthespontaneous sense does not
imply slight mass differences like conventional H'symmetry breaking term inaHamiltonian.

(2.}he Goldstone Theorem (10ha-pagew)
1,Inagange theory you have currents andcharges. Consider Q/0). Usually this
0 iszero, vacuum hasnocharge ofapykind. But,inSSBanalysis, ifsomescalar field$hasanon-zero VEV,then‘anycharge whichdrives thatfield"through the usual commutator has this property: Q/0) #0. Inever thought
of this before.
2.Prrof ofGoldstone theorem. In(2.27} isdefined the FTofcommutator ofJ(x)
with 6(0). Insert complete set ofstates, assume positive norm etc. Igather
that these intermediate states /n) can beatmost single particle, because J
can create atmost one particle. Also, any such states /n) must have J=0 ,
based on rotation properties.
The proof here (Gilbert's of1964) assumes (2.32) which seems obvious tome,
and (2.29) seems wrong tomeatthe moment. IfGilbert can show that there is
some contribution fo (2.28), then heknows there isaspinless particle floating
around. The fact that some field has anonzero VEV allows him to prove that there
mst besome term inthat sum, Moreover, ifthis current Jisconserved, then
(2.32) tells you atonce that that state mst bemassless. So, tosummarize:
ifyour theory has @conserved current, but avacuum which isnot killed off
bythe charge ofthat eame current (ie, nan zero VEV ofsome scalar field), then
you mst have massless spin-zero particle inyour theory.
Maybe thecatch here isthis: (2.32) iscorrect only ifJ,isanhonest
4-vector. This isthe point precisely!
3.The"g~model" ofGellMann-Levy, 1960.Writealagrangion of#’end¥mesonfields which ischiral-invariant, ie, SU(2)xSU(2), sort ofisospin and axial
isospin together. This theory hasaconserved current VandA,. Hence
charges QandQ;type.
Ifthere?is noSSB,thenallmesonshavesamemass;ifthereisSSB, 5: then you have massless pion come out. This is application ofnormal Goldstone
Theorem: you here have originally 6conserved currents. From (2.59) you see
that ,ifsigma has anonzero VEV, then the three axial charges have property
thata,fo)#0.Thus,youexpecttogetthreegoldstones, thethreepions,Notice that, inthis theory, shifted lagrangian still has isospin,invariance; you
only get aGoldstone boson for each conserved current you "break", Here you
started with 6,and you break down tothree, soyou get three Goldstones. Bach
"broken" charge will no longer kill the vacuum.
4. Finally nucleons are added. Ifno SSB, then you have massless nucleons and
equal mass pions and sigmas. Experimentally terrible because implies massless
nucleons and sca&ar mesons degenerate with pion. Inthe SSB view, nucleons
acquire mass and pion ismassless, looks much better.
5.The Gellman-Levy model isanexample ofzm amodel with SSB inwhich the Goldstone
Theorem works inthe way you'd expect. You break some symmetries and thereby
create massless particles. The theory isnice because you want to think ofthese
mass less guys asthe true pions. Ie, add asmall perturbation tothe lagrangian
and get very light pion.
6.what weshall really beinterested inisthe following: under what conditions
can the naive Goldstone theorem be violated? That isthe Higgs business ofthe

Comments onGilbert's 1964 Goldstone Theorem proof.
fo) 1.Ihaveworkedowtthedetails ontheattached sheets.
2.What are the main ingredients?
a)ifJ,isatrue 4-vector (manifest covariance) then (2.32) iscorrect.
Ingauge theories this step will fail ifyou choose anoncovariant gauge.
Condition (2.32) leadsatonceto(2.33)withnootherassumptions. d) one assumption skipped over ss that vacuum does not contribute insum
over intermediate stetes. Iamnot very clear onthis; they say
something about positive definite states only are allowed. Certainly
youcannot putthevacuum inaunitarity sum ce)Next, this chosen J, (acurrent corresponding tosome gauge generatorcalled Q)isassumed tobeconserved. This fact leadsto(2.39). At thispoint here iswhat weknow: ifM40, then there must besomescalar and massless particle contributing. The massless part came from
the conservation ofthe current. The spinless came from the fact that
gisascalar field, Maybe Ishould add that.
ad) the field gisatrue scalar field.
e)finally, assume that (0/9(0)/o) #0,ie,SSB, Then from (2.46) you
getcy#0andyouaredone. Ingredient here isbasically (2.41)
which says: the fields transform insome definite way under the
charges. Then (2.43) isarestatement ofthis fact.
3.Overview: inatheory there are gany gauge charges and conserved currents.
Byexamining theway inwhich the charges "drive" thefields, andbydeciding
whichfieldsyouwanttohavenon-zeroVEV,youdecidewhichofhecharges lozQfail tokill vacuum, Ie,you decide forwhich currents (2.42) istrue.
4.What wasnotclear from theproof here isthat each "broken charge" gets its
owngoldstone. Weonly proved that ifyou have atleast onebroken charge, then
you have atleast one goldtone.

Bernstein: (3.) TheHiggs Loophole. :
1.WhenyoudotheusualCoulombgaugequantization with@-Aeo,youineffect fo) force theobject4,totrénsform.not asaregular 4-vector, butassomeweird
object with thé extra piece’as shown in(3.16). This extra piece isfound by
B.intwoways: first, byrequiring thatthegauge condition betrueinany
twoframes; second, byjust-looking atthewayyouquantize with 8object.
2. Another viewpoint is this: since you are choosing this non-covariant gauge
condition, youineffect pick outthetime direction asspecial. Thegauge
condition is still rotationally covariant, but not bogst covariant. Thus, in
effect, youcanimagine thatanything youhavecanalsobeafunction ofthe
A-vector p= (1,0,0,0). Ie,yougotoanyframebutthisvector stays asit
ie,ie,youareviolating boost covariance, Thissameypshows upinthe
Feynman propagator but has no effect on S-matrix, argument repeated from BDvol 2.
“3. The presence ofthis extra vector, iethe loww ofboost covariance, ruins the
proof ofthegoldstone theorem. From (3.42) inmomentum space youfind: :

result isthat the charge @corresponding tothis current isnow Q(t) and moves
in time, something very new. However, the current isstill conserved.
(4.)TheHiggs Mechaniom, _- .
1.The preceding section ofthis paper showed that the usual’ Coulomb gauge
“allowed presence ofWaandthisthenallowed an"escape" fromtheGoldstone
Theorem; this isthe Higgs Loophole, socalled. Inthis section wewill-examine
theHiggs idea in,more detail. Section isalong 15half-pages.
2.First interesting trick istowrite alagrangian without showing second-order
derivatives. This isjust aSchwinger trick toeliminate extra work. Of-course
second-order derivs reappear when you vary everything. This isthe came asthe
idea inAbers Lenn oftreating A,and¥,, asindependent fields forawhile.
34Phe model ofthis section is@charged Klein~Gordon scalar field with photons,
is, scelar ED. Charged means that scalars come inadoublet. Hass term isput
inwith wrong sign, intentionally. Afinite charge rotation (gauge transform tion)
isidentified inits effect onthe scalar doublet; just asimple rotation. S_me
gauge function ofcourse appears ingauge trans. forA,.Thecovariant Df °
CX 5SBentiFied asusual, standard gaugetheory.
4.Nowweallow breaking, ie,letJ)have nonzero VEV. Several paths arethen
floowed from this point.
5.Inthe first path, you examine the equations after linearizing them. This
linearization is justified after shifting field because fields are "small"
insome sense. You then assume the covariant Lorentz gauge and you find that
youdohaveaGoldstone (massless scalar $,') butthisthing solves afree eKGequation andisthus afree Goldstone, te,uncoupled torest oftheory.
Meanwhile, ifyoudefine 3,tobeA,plus4,of,',thisGoldstone, youfind that 3,isamassive vector meson.
Soyou get the idea that inthis gauge, although Goldstone theorem isvalid
.and you doget your Goldstone, itisdecoupled. Moreover, your gauge field
has acquired amass. Your other meson also has mass, the fo’ field.
The ratio ofthe masses ofvector meson and scalar meson isset bythe
twotheory couplings, the$4 self coupling fandthegauge coupling. e,-
6,Now lets redo this inthe Coulomb gauge. Again play with the equations to
seewhat youcansee, First, g,' isnowidentified with a/dt ofA,+80$i" isnoteven atrue Lorentz scalar!
However, B,constructed asbefore isatrue4-vector (cofariant), The fieldJ)’ has thesame mass asB,, still decoupled.- Thus, Goldstone
Theorem isexpected tofail since loss ofcovariance, and Golston particle
now has amass, All fits together.
: Inthis guage, the physical results are the same: you have amassive
scalar and amassive vector with masses ratiod as before.
Finally, explicit failure ofGoldstone Theorem isshown inthis gauge. I
wont bother tofollow it.Hinges onfact that J," isnotatrue scalar. Hence
itcan couple the vector BY tovacuum. .
Theexplicit commtator ofthecharge and$,'iscomputed andyouseeexplicit timedependence ofcharge, even though current isconserved.
7.Ideatoremember: thereason youget 440 issurface terms. These surfactermsarelikelytobepresent whenyouhavemaxxivax m,ssless particles in“eo
your theory. Gauge fields are massless particles.
8.The third parth isthe U-gmge. You start bychoosing agauge function that

This isthe U-gauge where S-matrix interms ofCHI and Bfields ismanifestly
unitary. This path iseasy togeneralize proof and analysis toall orders,
9.Last piece here adds the baryons, Global gauge invariance gives you
baryon conservation and some "S-number" conservation for meson. You doSSB
andbreak theS-number, butmaintain baryon conservation. NowtheB,field
is driven by the baryon current. More physical theory. Big deal.
10. This section féllows Higgs own work closely. ..
§5.) Toshow how particles acquire mass imperturbation theory. °
"i,Inthelastsectionwestudivdindetailalittlemodelwith’achatgetscalar fo) Klein-Gordon field and some photons. Inthe U-gauge, wemade orfe ofthe mesons
"go away" byacarefully chosen gauge rotation. Them weshifted the’ other meson
from BotoCHI, andthefield: B,picked uptheremnants of‘theGoldstone.Thequestion hereis:howdoesalEthislookinperturbation theory? Youstart asshow in(5.17) with alegrandian inwhich SSB has aready taken
. place andashifted field $'appears. Neither the$'field mortheA,field
have explicit mass terms inthis lagrangian's L, part. Ofcourse the mass
terms doappear inthe Lz part because wehave already shifted. The game here
istotreatthesemasstgrmsasinteractions. Thus,yourbaregpend4are massless and sohave 1/q° propagators. Then the game istowatch how the
masses ofboth these particles appear asyou do perturbation theory.
2.The lowest order corrections tothe bare massless photon proagator are shown
. infigure 4, You see the "point" coupling which isreally the direct mass term,
afd then you see acontribution ofthe massless meson inthere. Notice that you
can couple ascalar toavector if-you have gradient couphing,. The meson term
causes apole in“(,) and this pole then causes the renormalized photon prop.- (renorm, +0first ofMer) tohaveashifted pole! Thieishowthephoton acquires
an its mais. .
. 3.Notice that the"mass term AAU itself does notshift thepole, Butofcourseitmstbetheretoyieldgaugevariance ofay.
4.Next, heshows how’ the meson itself acauires mass. Inthe meson cause, the
trivialpointinteraction doegcausethemassshift.Thereisadifference ombetween the two: notice theq©factors in(5:26) versus (5.6) forthephton.
Thus, you dont need massless photon pole togenerate mass onyour meson. The
whole difference isrelated tothe uafd vindices, gauge invariance, conseved
tensor, etc. ,
5.This section isbased onthe work ofEnglert and Brout, 1964. Recall that
these guys independently discovered the Higgs Mechanism inperturbation theory.
Ie, they discovered that one ofthe mesons attaches tothe vector and makes it
massive. .
6.Further work along the lines ofthis section was done byColeman and Weinberg
1973+
7. Adetail Iomitted: notice that the "massive photon” has apole atsome
mass, but itdoes not have the usual propagator you, would associate witha
massive vector meson. Inparticular, ithesayq,/a? rather thanq¥q’/M°, Thus,
itwill bemore open torenormalization than atrue massive vector meson! Ie,
itwill not have the obvious UV problem.
8.Itisalso noted that, inthis theory, ifyou donot allows SSB, you have
massless photons and scalars and theory isanIRnightmare.
6.)Nom-abelian cases. : .
1.Section opens with review ofYang Mills. Start with some fermion fields in
isospin doublet asusual(nucleons). Global isospin ratations yieldthe [*)usual conserved isotopic spin current, Local isospin invariance requires
addition ofthree gauge fields, theb| is1,2,3 since three SU(2) isospingenerators. Asusual, theextra non-Abelian termisadded toF,,goget
atrue isovector F,, and usual gauge fields term. The bfields mst be
massless, aithongh nucleons could have mass. @his iswhere Yang Mills stopped,
2.ButBernstein now goes ontodosome SSB, Add aniso-doublet ofHiggs
scalar fields. ‘These fields add some terms tothe full lagrangian, called
Lye‘
.
3.Atthis point, what are our currents? The usual electric charge type trans-
formation (phases oncharged fields, nothing onb,)yields aconserved
. electic ofhypercharge current called ¥,(global transformation). Also
there isthe, isospin current 1, .Each Current has acharge, and weset up
theelectraé charge inusual GHWmanner.
*4.Next step istoallow field $tobreak vacuum. WegotoaU-gauge andkilloffeofield.Thenweletthef°fieldbreak,thenshiftbytofield¥. What is the result?
a)formerly massless Higgs scalars now dothis: .
. al)one Higgs field isgone away
a2)theotherHiggefieldis{andpasacquired mass. »)all three gauge fields bhave the seme mgss, nonzero, . .
5.Comments: asshown in(6,47),-we have broken three isospin generators,”hencethreegoidstons, butthesewerealleaten bygaugefields. Thereare~o
no"massless gauge fields left inthis model after SSB takes piace. ~

requirement of locel weak-isospin invariante brings inthe compensating fields

2,Sofar lagrangian has only lepton fields Land R,and gauge fields b.There

3.Nowthe"hypercharge-photon” a,isadded; this istheU(1) part oftthe

tothe"weak 7," component ofweak~isospin togive thetrue charge &

5.Now lagrangian has these fields: L,R,bya. Ifyou like, you can regroup
things, taking linear combinations, sothe fields 1L,R, band aare replaced

inthe band afields tothe Higgs fields. Higgs fields are massless.
1.Now, thefield g*isgauged away andsomehow thefield #°isrelaced with
aHiggs field called R(x). The final Higgs lagrangian interms now ofthis
field Rand the A,Z and Wis shown in(7.82). There isnoterm like AAR. Thus,
when we later do SSB with R, photon will not acquire mass.
8.However, you dowant your electrons toacquire mass. Thus, couptings 6Re

9.Sofinally you do SSB and shift field Rinto usual CHI, The results ofthis
SSB are enumerated: electron acquires mass, sodoes Higgs CHI field. Sodo
the fields Wand Z;Weinberg angle defined; photon stays massless asnoted.
10. Aproblem noted with this theory isthet the Aand Zfields can mix, since
oth couple tothe Sesystem. Thus some kind ofmass-matrix diagonalization is
needed.
