Perturbative gauge invariance: electroweak theory II
arXiv:hep-th/9702053 · doi:10.1002/(SICI)1521-3889(199905)8:5<389::AID-ANDP389>3.0.CO;2-A
Abstract
A recent construction of the electroweak theory, based on perturbative quantum gauge invariance alone, is extended to the case of more generations of fermions with arbitrary mixing. The conditions implied by second order gauge invariance lead to an isolated solution for the fermionic couplings in agreement with the standard model. Third order gauge invariance determines the Higgs potential. The resulting massive gauge theory is manifestly gauge invariant, after construction.
