Gauge invariance and the Englert-Brout-Higgs mechanism in non-Hermitian field theories
Jean Alexandre, John Ellis, Peter Millington +1
We discuss -symmetric Abelian gauge field theories, as well as their extension to the Englert-Brout-Higgs mechanism for generating a mass for a vector boson. Gauge in…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Goldstone theorem in non-Hermitian field theories
Jean Alexandre, John Ellis, Peter Millington +1
We demonstrate the extension to PT-symmetric field theories of the Goldstone theorem, confirming that the spontaneous appearance of a field vacuum expectation value via minimisatio…
