Electric-Magnetic Duality and the Dualized Standard Model
ST Tsou
In these lectures I shall explain how a new-found nonabelian duality can be used to solve some outstanding questions in particle physics. The first lecture introduces the concept o…
Yang--Mills duality as origin of generations, quark mixing and neutrino oscillations
ST Tsou
The origin of fermion generations is one of the great mysteries in particle physics. We consider here a possible solution within the Standard Model framework based on a nonabelian…
Some uses of moduli spaces in particle and field theory
ST Tsou
In this talk I shall try to give an elementary introduction to certain areas of mathematical physics where the idea of moduli space is used to help solve problems or to further our…
Symmetry and symmetry breaking in particle physics
ST Tsou
Symmetry, in particular gauge symmetry, is a fundamental principle in theoretical physics. It is intimately connected to the geometry of fibre bundles. A refinement to the gauge pr…
