General Aspects of Symmetry Breaking
Martin Haft
Abstract
On basis of an algebraic analysis of symmetry breaking in general and the Higgs mechanism in the standard model of elementary particles we generalize the concept of symmetry breaking to systems with non-compact groups but not necessarily caused by a potential. Thereto we give some simple, but unfamiliar examples of symmetry breaking with and without potentials. The analysis of the concept of mass in space-time and in the Higgs mechanism will lead to a model unifying both structures in terms of symmetry breaking of GL(2,C).
