Clifford algebra Cl(0,6) approach to beyond the standard model and naturalness problems

Published 11 Jan 2024 in physics.gen-ph and hep-th | (2401.05678v7)

Abstract: Is there more to Dirac's gamma matrices than meets the eye? It turns out that gamma zero can be factorized into a product of three operators. This revelation facilitates the expansion of Dirac's space-time algebra to Clifford algebra Cl(0,6). The resultant rich geometric structure can be leveraged to establish a combined framework of the standard model and gravity, wherein a gravi-weak interaction between the extended vierbein field and the extended weak gauge field is allowed. In conjunction with the composite Higgs model, we examine the vierbein field as a Cooper-pair-like fermion-antifermion condensation. Quantum gravity is realized indirectly via the quantized standard model spinor fields which underlie the composite space-time metric. We propose that the fundamental energy scales of the universe including the Planck scale are emergent and resulted from quantum condensations, thus possibly addressing the cosmological constant problem through an unconventional multi-scale renormalization procedure for multiplications of divergent Feynman integrals. The Clifford algebra approach also permits a weaker form of charge conjugation without particle-antiparticle interchange, leading to a Majorana-type mass that conserves lepton number. Additionally, with reshuffling the traditional quark-lepton pairing pattern of three generations of fermions, we explore a three-Higgs-doublet model with Higgs VEVs 246 GeV, 42 GeV and 2.5 GeV which could explain the mass hierarchies of fermions.
