Transition from SU(2)L x SU(2)R x U(1)(B-L) Representation to SU(2)L x U(1)Y by q-Deformation and the Corresponding Classical Breaking Term of Chiral U(2)
Abstract
The minimal Standard Model exhibits a nontrivial chiral U(2) symmetry if the vev and the hypercharge splitting (Delta) of right-handed leptons (quarks) in a family vanish and Q=T0 + Y independently in each helicity sector. As a generalization, we start with SU(2)L x SU(2)R x U(1)(B-L) and introduce Delta as a continuous parameter which is a measure of explicit symmetry breakdown. Values of Delta between zero and 1/2 take the neutral generator of the isospin-1/2 representation to the singlet representation, i.e. `deformes' the LR representation into the minimal Standard one. The corresponding classical O(3)-breaking term is a magnetic field perpendicular to the x3-axis. A simple mapping on the fundamental Drinfeld-Jimbo q-deformed SU(2) representation is given.
