Mass Generation and the Dynamical Role of the Katoptron Group
Abstract
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. Their main function is to provide a viable alternative to the Standard-Model Higgs sector. In such a framework, ordinary fermions acquire masses after the breaking of the strong katoptron group which allows mixing with their katoptron partners. The purpose of this letter is to study the elementary-scalars-free mechanism responsible for this breaking and its implications for the fermion mass hierarchies.
