Dynamical symmetry breaking in Yang–Mills geometrodynamics

Abstract

We are going to analyze through a first order perturbative formulation the local loss of symmetry when a source of non-Abelian Yang-Mills and gravitational fields interacts with an external agent that perturbes the original geometry associated to the source. Then, as the symmetry in Abelian and non-Abelian field structures in four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes is displayed through the existence of local orthogonal planes of symmetry that we previously called blades one and two, the loss of symmetry will be manifested by the tilting of these planes under the influence of the external agent. It was found already that there is an algorithm to block diagonalize the Yang-Mills field strength isospace projections in a local gauge invariant way. Independently, it was also found an algorithm to diagonalize the Yang-Mills stress-energy tensor in a gauge invariant way. Using these results and perturbative analysis from a previous manuscript dealing with the Abelian case, we are going to demonstrate how to develop an algorithm for constructing local energy-momentum conserved currents inside both local orthogonal planes. As the interaction proceeds, the planes are going to tilt perturbatively, and in this strict sense the original local symmetries will be lost. But we will prove that the new blades at the same point will correspond after the tilting generated by perturbation, to new symmetries, with associated new local currents, both on each new local planes of symmetry. Old symmetries will be broken, new will arise. There will be a local symmetry evolution in the non-Abelian case as well.
