Fermion Masses Through Condensation in Spacetimes with Torsion
arXiv:1310.4124 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.88.124022
Abstract
In this paper we argue the possibility that fermion masses, in particular quarks, originate through the condensation of a fourth family that interacts with all of the quarks via a contact four-fermion term coming from the existence of torsion on the spacetime. Extra dimensions are considered to avoid the hierarchy problem.
