Poincaré-like extension Mixing Higgs and Gauge Fields in a U(1) symmetric model

Abstract

We continue the program by investigating symmetric structures underlying features of the Standard Model. We then expand the symmetry to encompass translations before contraction. A field theory model emerges with the goal of replicating a coupling to gravity before contraction. Then we obtain an expanded second-order gravity model after contraction that incorporates the abelian internal symmetry.
