A new theoretical study suggests that the masses of particles like W and Z bosons could originate from the twisted geometry of hidden seven-dimensional spaces called G2 manifolds, offering an alternative to the Higgs field and potentially explaining phenomena like dark matter and cosmic expansion. The researchers propose the existence of a new particle, the Torstone, which could be detected in future experiments.
An international research team led by Marcus Sperling has reinterpreted the Higgs mechanism using the concept of magnetic quivers, providing new insights into quantum field theories (QFTs). Their study, published in Physical Review Letters, demonstrates that magnetic quivers can decay or fission, offering a clearer understanding of complex quantum structures and the mass acquisition of elementary particles. This research bridges physics and mathematics, advancing the fundamental understanding of quantum vacua and QFTs.
