Understanding the genesis of mass: a mystery pointing towards the mirror world
George Triantaphyllou
We give a pedagogical and concise presentation of dynamical mass generation involving strongly-interacting mirror fermions. As a paradigm which has been explicitly shown to predict…
Weak scale: Dynamical determination versus accidental stabilization
George Triantaphyllou
Is it a mere accident that the weak scale is exactly so much smaller than the Planck scale, and at the same time exactly so much larger than the QCD scale? Or are the experimentall…
Mass generation and the dynamical role of the Katoptron Group
George Triantaphyllou
Heavy mirror fermions along with a new strong gauge interaction capable of breaking the electroweak gauge symmetry dynamically were recently introduced under the name of katoptrons…
Strongly-interacting fermions from a higher-dimensional unified gauge theory
George Triantaphyllou, George Zoupanos
The method of coset-space dimensional reduction is employed in order to proceed from a gauged E_8 * E_8' unified theory defined in 10 dimensions to 4 dimensions. The resulting theo…
Mirror fermions and the hierarchy problem
George Triantaphyllou
The introduction of strongly-interacting mirror fermions with masses between the weak scale and 1 TeV could offer a viable alternative to the Higgs mechanism. The framework provide…
Strategy towards Mirror-fermion Signatures
George Triantaphyllou
The existence of mirror fermions interacting strongly under a new gauge group and having masses near the electroweak scale has been recently proposed as a viable alternative to the…
Neutrinos, their Partners and Unification
George Triantaphyllou
Efforts to unify group-theoretically the standard-model gauge interactions with the generation structure of fermions and their mirror partners should be accompanied with the unific…
New physics with mirror particles
George Triantaphyllou
The introduction of mirror fermions with masses between the weak scale and 1 TeV could offer a dynamical origin to the standard-model electro-weak symmetry breaking mechanism. The…
Fermion mass-function in thermal QED3
George Triantaphyllou
The gap equation for fermions in a version of thermal QED in three dimensions is studied numerically in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism. The interest in this theory has been recently…
Gap equation in finite-temperature three-dimensional QED beyond the bare-vertex approximation
George Triantaphyllou
Dynamical mass generation in a three-dimensional version of finite-temperature QED is studied with the help of Schwinger-Dyson equations in the real-time formalism. We go beyond th…
Mirror Families in Electro-weak Symmetry Breaking
Manfred Lindner, George Triantaphyllou
We study symmetry breaking in a left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model with mirror fermions, one for each Standard-Model fermion. The new particles assist a top-quark…
Dynamical Mass Generation in a Finite-Temperature Abelian Gauge Theory
George Triantaphyllou
We write down the gap equation for the fermion self-energy in a finite-temperature abelian gauge theory in three dimensions. The instantaneous approximation is relaxed, momentum-de…
Fermion Green functions in non-abelian gauge theories in four dimensions
G. Triantaphyllou
In this work we study the critical behavior and momentum dependence of chirality-flipping fermion 4-point functions in non-abelian gauge theories. Our formalism is based on the Sch…
A New Paradigm for the Fermion Generations
George Triantaphyllou
A new mechanism is proposed to explain the appearance of the three known fermion generations in a natural way. The underlying idea is based on the discreteness of the spectrum of s…
QED Radiative Corrections to the Decay
George Triantaphyllou
In view of the recent interest in the decays of mesons into a pair of light leptons, a computation of the QED radiative corrections to the decay of into an electron-positro…
Technicolor Enhancement of Production at TeV-Colliders
Thomas Appelquist, George Triantaphyllou
It is shown that a technicolor theory containing a color-octet technipion, usually denoted by , will give rise to an enhancement of production at the Tevatro…
