Mass generation mechanism for spin 1/2 fermions in Dirac--Yang--Mills model equations with a symplectic gauge symmetry

Abstract

In the Standard Model of electroweak interactions the fundamental fermions acquire masses by the Yukawa interaction with the (spin 0) Higgs field. In our model spin 1/2 fermions acquire masses by an interaction with (spin 1) gauge field with symplectic symmetry.
