论文摘要
尽管希格斯机制成功地说明了标准模型（SM）基本颗粒的产生，但“质量”的最终性质和起源仍然是当代物理学中的开放问题。从基本的角度来看，质量应与重力相互作用从根本上相关，并根据马赫（Mach）与宇宙的结构有关。在本字母中，讨论了GR Lagrangian中高阶校正引起的完全动态的质量产生机制。值得注意的是，真空能量在此过程中起着关键作用，该过程适用于向量玻色子和费米子。我们表明，在经典层面上，希格斯机制可以被认为是当前机制的特定情况。
Despite the success of the Higgs mechanism to account for the generation of the masses of Standard Model (SM) elementary particles, the ultimate nature and origin of "mass" remain open questions in contemporary physics. From a foundational perspective, mass should be fundamentally related to the gravitational interaction and, according to Mach, to the structure of the Universe. In the present letter, a fully dynamical mass generation mechanism induced by higher-order corrections in the GR Lagrangian is discussed. Notably, the vacuum energy plays a key role in this process, which applies to both vector bosons and fermions. We show that, at the classical level, the Higgs mechanism can be thought of as a particular case of the present mechanism.
