We propose a geometrized Higgs mechanism based on the gravitational sector in the Connes-Lott formulation of the standard model, which has been constructed by Chamseddine, Fröhlic and Grandjean. The point of our idea is that Higgs-like couplings depend on the local coordinates of the four-dimensional continuum, M 4 . The localized couplings can be calculated by the Wilson loops of the U (1) EM gauge field and the connection, which is defined on Z 2 × M 4 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
