Introduction of the G2-Ricci flow: Geometric implications for spontaneous symmetry breaking and gauge boson masses
This work introduces the G2-Ricci flow on seven-dimensional manifolds with non-zero torsion and explores its physical implications. By extending the Ricci flow to manifolds with G2 structures, we study the evolution of solitonic solutions and their role in spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories. In particular, this model proposes that the masses of the W and Z bosons are determined not by an external scalar field, as in the Higgs mechanism, but by the intrinsic geometric torsion of the manifold. Furthermore, a possible connection between the geometry of extra dimensions and the curvature of our spacetime is explored, with implications for the experimentally observed positive cosmological constant. This approach provides an innovative interpretation of fundamental interactions in theoretical physics, opening new possibilities for studying extra dimensions and the geometry of G2-manifolds.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Physics B focuses on the domain of high energy physics, quantum field theory, statistical systems, and mathematical physics, and includes four main sections: high energy physics - phenomenology, high energy physics - theory, high energy physics - experiment, and quantum field theory, statistical systems, and mathematical physics. The emphasis is on original research papers (Frontiers Articles or Full Length Articles), but Review Articles are also welcome.
