Abstract
A non-perturbative proof of the mass generation of fermions via the Higgs mechanism is given. This is done by showing an exponential decay of the two point fermionic correlation function in a weakly coupled U(1) Higgs–Yukawa theory on a unit lattice in d = 4. This decay implies that the Higgs boson, the photon, and the fermion all have a non-zero physical mass, and the theory is said to have a mass gap.
