Repairing the algebraic foundations of the Standard Model of particle physics
arXiv:2308.12295
Abstract
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is in such good agreement with experiment that it is still accepted as providing an accurate model of reality, with the role of chiral symmetry in electro-weak unification regarded as one of its major achievements. Nevertheless, its conceptual and algebraic foundation is faulty. Chirality is shown to be algebraically inconsistent with neutrinos having finite mass and being fermions.
