Abstract

Weinberg-Salam theory is reconstructed using the generalized differential calculus extended on the discrete space M4×Z2. According to Chamseddine and co-workers, we introduce the field ai(x,y) which is the square-matrix-valued function defined on M4×Z2. The generalized gauge field is expressed as A(x,y)= tsumi ai°(x,y)scrdai(x,y), where scrd=d+dχ is a generalized exterior derivative. We can construct the consistent algebra of dχ which is an exterior derivative with respect to Z2. The spontaneous breakdown of gauge symmetry is coded in dχ with the introduction of the symmetry-breaking function M(y). The gauge field Aμ(x,y) and Higgs field Φ(x,y) are written in terms of ai(x,y) and M(y), which may indicate ai(x,y) is a more fundamental object. Not only the Yang-Mills-Higgs Lagrangian but also the Dirac Lagrangian is reproduced through the inner product between the differential forms in a completely gauge-invariant way.
