Gauge invariant accounts of the Higgs mechanism [PDF]
, 2011 The Higgs mechanism gives mass to Yang-Mills gauge bosons. According to the conventional wisdom, this happens through the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry.

Gauge Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories---In Search of Clarification [PDF]
, 2011 The paper investigates the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries in gauge theories from a philosophical angle. Local gauge symmetry itself cannot break spontaneously in quantized gauge theories according to Elitzur's theorem---even though the notion ...

A Partial Elucidation of the Gauge Principle [PDF]
, 2008 The elucidation of the gauge principle "is the most pressing problem in current philosophy of physics" Michael Redhead in 2003. This paper argues for two points that contribute to this elucidation in the context of Yang-Mills theories.

Gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking with generalized messenger sector at LHC [PDF]
, 2010 We consider the generalized gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB) models with the messenger fields which do not form the complete multiplets of SU(5) GUT symmetry.

Gauge symmetry from decoupling
Nuclear Physics B, 2017 Gauge symmetries emerge from a redundant description of the effective action for light degrees of freedom after the decoupling of heavy modes. This redundant description avoids the use of explicit constraints in configuration space.

Physical Review Research, 2020 We explore the low-energy dynamics of the four siblings of Lorentz symmetry enriched SU(2) Yang-Mills theories with a theta term at θ=π in (3+1)d. Due to a mixed anomaly between time reversal symmetry and the one-form center symmetry, the low-energy ...

Localization of Gauge Theories on the Three-Sphere [PDF]
, 2012 We describe the application of localization techniques to the path integral for supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. The localization procedure reduces the computation of the expectation value of BPS observables to a calculation in a matrix

Topics in Supersymmetry Breaking and Gauge/Gravity Dualities [PDF]
, 2010 The thesis covers two topics in string theory and quantum field theory. First, we realize metastable vacua in various supersymmetric gauge theories. Specifically, we consider the Coulomb branch of any N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory, and perturb it by ...

Gauge-Higgs Unification Models in Six Dimensions with S2/Z2 Extra Space and GUT Gauge Symmetry
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2012 We review gauge-Higgs unification models based on gauge theories defined on six-dimensional spacetime with S2/Z2 topology in the extra spatial dimensions. Nontrivial boundary conditions are imposed on the extra S2/Z2 space.

Two Types of Jets and Quark and Chromon Model in QCD
Universe, 2019 We discuss the importance of the color reflection symmetry of the Abelian decomposition in QCD. The Abelian decomposition breaks up the color gauge field to three parts, the neuron, chromon, and the topological monopole, gauge independently. Moreover, it
