Separation-of-charge confinement and the Higgs transition in SU(3) gauge Higgs theory
arXiv:2310.01354
Abstract
With SU(3) gauge Higgs theory as an example, we examine critically the idea that the confinement property in an SU(N) gauge-Higgs theory, with the Higgs field in the fundamental representation, persists in an unbroken SU(N-1) subgroup.
