Mass generation and gravity
Mario Novello, Vicente Antunes
Despite the success of the Higgs mechanism to account for the generation of the masses of Standard Model (SM) elementary particles, the ultimate nature and origin of "mass" remain…
Connecting the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix to quark masses
M. Novello, V. Antunes
We show that the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa interaction matrix may be constructed with the quark masses.
Dragged Metrics
M. Novello, E. Bittencourt
We show that the path of any accelerated body in an arbitrary space-time geometry can be described as geodesics in a dragged metric that depends only on the…
A proposal for the origin of the anomalous magnetic moment
M. Novello, E. Bittencourt
We investigate a new form of contribution for the anomalous magnetic moment of all particles. This common origin is displayed in the framework of a recent treatment of electrodynam…
Mach or Higgs? The mechanisms to generate mass
M. Novello
The purpose of this work is to show that the gravitational interaction is able to generate mass for all bodies. The condition for this is the existence of an energy distribution re…
A gravitational mechanism which gives mass to the vectorial bosons
M. Novello
A mechanism in which gravity is the responsible for the generation of the mass of scalar bosons and fermions was proposed recently [arXiv:1003.5126]. The purpose of the present pap…
