On the covariant description of spontaneously broken symmetry in general field theory
Reducible fields A(x) with degenerate vacuum which allow the unitary- symmetry transformation U/sup -1/(c)A(x)U(c)=A(x)+c are analysed. The mathematical properties of the 'charge integral' related to the conserved current of this spontaneously broken symmetry are described. The structure o...

| Sumario: | Reducible fields A(x) with degenerate vacuum which allow the unitary- symmetry transformation U/sup -1/(c)A(x)U(c)=A(x)+c are analysed. The mathematical properties of the 'charge integral' related to the conserved current of this spontaneously broken symmetry are described. The structure of the S-matrix theory is discussed in such a generalized field theory as a guide-line for the treatment of more complex examples of spontaneously broken symmetries. (42 refs). |
