In summary, "Non-anomalous global sym" in the Standard Model refers to a fundamental symmetry that is not broken and remains unchanged at all energy scales. It is different from other types of symmetries in the model as it is not affected by quantum anomalies and is therefore more stable and fundamental. This symmetry affects all particles in the Standard Model and plays a crucial role in determining their interactions and properties. Currently, there are no known violations of this symmetry, but some theories beyond the Standard Model predict its breaking at high energies. Further research and experiments are needed to fully understand the role of "Non-anomalous global sym" in particle physics.

My QFT class has been discussing anomalies in the Standard Model. I'm starting to wonder... are there any global symmetries that DON'T have anomalies?

In QCD flavor symmetry SU(Nf)is free of anomalies.
 

FAQ: Non-anomalous global sym in SM?

1. What is "Non-anomalous global sym" in Standard Model (SM)?

"Non-anomalous global sym" refers to a type of symmetry present in the mathematical framework of the Standard Model of particle physics. It is a type of symmetry that is not broken, meaning it is present at all energy scales and remains unchanged.

2. How is "Non-anomalous global sym" different from other types of symmetries in SM?

Unlike other types of symmetries in the Standard Model, "Non-anomalous global sym" is not affected by quantum anomalies, which are deviations from classical symmetries that arise in certain quantum field theories. This allows it to be a more fundamental and stable symmetry in the model.

3. What particles are affected by "Non-anomalous global sym" in SM?

"Non-anomalous global sym" affects all particles in the Standard Model, including fermions (such as quarks and leptons) and bosons (such as photons and W and Z bosons). It is a fundamental property of the model and is necessary for the consistency of the theory.

4. How does "Non-anomalous global sym" impact the behavior of particles in SM?

"Non-anomalous global sym" is a symmetry that dictates the interactions and properties of particles in the Standard Model. It helps to determine the strength and type of forces between particles and plays a crucial role in the predictions and calculations of particle behavior.

5. Are there any known violations of "Non-anomalous global sym" in SM?

Currently, there are no known violations of "Non-anomalous global sym" in the Standard Model. However, some theories beyond the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry, predict the breaking of this symmetry at very high energies. Further research and experiments are needed to test these predictions and fully understand the role of this symmetry in particle physics.
