Electroweak symmetry breaking by dynamically generated masses of quarks and leptons
Smetana, Adam ; Hošek, Jiří (advisor) ; Hořejší, Jiří (referee) ; Olejník, Štefan (referee)
Title: Electroweak symmetry breaking by dynamically generated masses of quarks and leptons Author: Adam Smetana Department: Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University Supervisor: Ing. Jiří Hošek, DrSc., Department of Theoretical Physics, Nuclear Physics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Abstract: The aim of the thesis is to study models of the electroweak symmetry breaking caused by dynamically generated masses of quarks and lep- tons. (1) We perform the basic analysis whether the main underlying idea, that the masses of only known fermions can provide the elec- troweak symmetry breaking, is actually feasible. For that we elaborate a two-composite-Higgs-doublet model of the top-quark and neutrino condensation. The model suggests rather large number, O(100), of right-handed neutrinos. (2) We analyze the model of strong Yukawa dynamics where the dynamical fermion mass generation is provided by exchanges of new elementary massive complex doublet scalar fields. We focus on solving the coupled Schwinger-Dyson equations for fermion and scalar self-energies by means of approximative methods. We doc- ument that strongly hierarchical mass spectra can be reproduced. (3) We elaborate the flavor gauge model where the dynamical fermion mass...

Dynamical symmetry breaking in models with strong Yukawa interactions
Beneš, Petr ; Hošek, Jiří (advisor) ; Hořejší, Jiří (referee) ; Olejník, Štefan (referee)
Title: Dynamical symmetry breaking in models with strong Yukawa in- teractions Author: Petr Beneš Department: Institute of Theoretical Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University Supervisor: Ing. Jiří Hošek, DrSc., Department of Theoretical Physics, Nu- clear Physics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Repub- lic Abstract: The primary aim of the thesis is to explore the possibility of spon- taneous symmetry breaking by strong Yukawa dynamics. Tech- nically, the symmetry is assumed to be broken by formation of symmetry-breaking parts of both the scalar and the fermion prop- agators, rather than by the scalar vacuum expectation values. The idea is first introduced on an example of a toy model with the underlying symmetry being an Abelian one and later applied to a realistic model of electroweak interaction. In addition, the thesis also deals with some more general, model-independent is- sues, applicable not only to the discussed model of strong Yukawa dynamics, but to a wider class of models with dynamical mass generation. First of these issues is the problem of fermion flavor mixing in the presence of fermion self-energies with a general mo- mentum dependence. It is in particular shown how to define the CKM matrix in such models and argued that it can come out in principle...
