Yi-Zhuang You - Symmetric Mass Generation @ Syracuse University 11/07/2022

Prof. Yi-Zhuang You from the University of California at San Diego will be giving a virtual talk at Syracuse University, the details of which can be found below Title: Symmetric Mass Generation Co-ordinates: PB 202; Monday, 11/07/2022, 2:00 PM- 3:30 PM ET @ Syracuse University Abstract: Symmetric mass generation (SMG) is a novel mechanism for massless fermions to acquire a mass via a strong-coupling non-perturbative interaction effect. In contrast to the conventional Higgs mechanism for fermion mass generation, the SMG mechanism does not condense any fermion bilinear coupling and preserves the full symmetry. It is connected to a broad range of topics, including anomaly cancellation, topological phase classification, and chiral fermion regularization. In this talk, I will introduce SMG through toy models in (1+1)D. I will also mention recent numerical efforts to investigate the SMG phenomenon. Based on arXiv:2204.14271.
