Fermi-Bose hypersymmetry

A new algebra, combining supersymmetry and internal symmetry, is presented. A massless vector hypermultiplet contains a vector, an isodoublet of left-handed Dirac spinors, and a complex scalar. These can be used as generalized gauge fields. Abelian as well as non-Abelian gauge theories are studied, and the Higgs mechanism is extended in a hypersymmetric way. We present, also, a (mom-realistic) SU(2)× U(1) model; gauge invariance and hypersymmetry are spontaneously broken; two Goldstone spinors appear. Hypersymmetry allows one to define "electronic" and "muonic" numbers, and suggests that a weakly interacting scalar particle ωγ is associated with the photon and the two neutrinos.
