Alpha and Electro-weak Coupling
J. G. Gilson
Abstract
It is shown that the fine structure constant alpha has the same value that "characterises" a relation, denoted by alpha137(29*137), between a representation of the cyclic group of order 29*137 and the induced representation for the cyclic subgroup of order 137. The value of this characteristic is alpha137(29*137) = 0.007297352532... . The complementary characteristic alpha29(29*137)=0.034280626357... for the cyclic subgroup of order 29 is shown to represent the gauge theory electro-weak coupling quantity g2/(4 pi). Kinematic aspects of the representation geometry are discussed and a generalized version of the Weinberg electro-weak mixing angle is introduced.
