Abstract:

A system with the local gauge invariance is investigated in which the Higgs scalar field φ interacts with the classical gauge field Aµ. The effective Lagrangian Leff(Aµ) of the gauge field is obtained in an approximate but analytic form by integrating all the quantum effects of φ. The Leff(Aµ) consists of two parts: One is the perturbative part LP(Aµ) obtained by the usual loop expansion and the other the non-perturbative one LNP(Aµ) on the background configuration in which the field φ fluctuates violently.
It is shown that the gauge field Aµ acquires the hierarchically small mass generated by the non-perturbative quantum effects of φ, if the potential U(φ) of the Higgs scalar φ has a local minimum at |φ| ≠0 in addition to the global one at φ=0.
