8 Beyond the Standard Model

then the group is broken to:
SU(N F ) L × SU(N F ) R × U R (1)
(8.105)
which has chiral symmetry and also has confinement. This is an interesting situation
because there is a dogma that as soon as a system has a bound state there will be
chiral symmetry breaking (Fig. 8.5).
The dynamics for the case N F = N C + 1 brings about some different dynamics.
The moduli space remains unchanged. The classical and quantum moduli spaces
are the same and hence the singularity when M = B = ˜
B = 0 remains. This is not
a theory of massless gluons but a theory of massless mesons and baryons. When,
M, B, B = 0 then one is in a Higgs/confining phase. At the singular point when,
M = B = ˜
B = 0 there is no global symmetry breaking but there is “confinement”
with light baryons.
