Abstract

We put forward a novel method of constructing unfolded formulations of field theories, which is based on initial fixation of the form of an unfolded field and subsequent looking for the corresponding unfolded equation as an identity that this field satisfies. Making use of this method, we find an unfolded formulation for 4d scalar electrodynamics. By considering a symmetry-breaking scalar potential, we study the implementation of the Higgs mechanism within the framework of the unfolded dynamics approach. We explore a deformation of unfolded modules in the symmetry-broken phase and identify a non-invertible unfolded-field redefinition that diagonalizes the higgsed system.

期刊介绍： The aim of the Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) is to ensure fast and efficient online publication tools to the scientific community, while keeping that community in charge of every aspect of the peer-review and publication process in order to ensure the highest quality standards in the journal. Consequently, the Advisory and Editorial Boards, composed of distinguished, active scientists in the field, jointly establish with the Scientific Director the journal''s scientific policy and ensure the scientific quality of accepted articles. JHEP presently encompasses the following areas of theoretical and experimental physics: Collider Physics Underground and Large Array Physics Quantum Field Theory Gauge Field Theories Symmetries String and Brane Theory General Relativity and Gravitation Supersymmetry Mathematical Methods of Physics Mostly Solvable Models Astroparticles Statistical Field Theories Mostly Weak Interactions Mostly Strong Interactions Quantum Field Theory (phenomenology) Strings and Branes Phenomenological Aspects of Supersymmetry Mostly Strong Interactions (phenomenology).
