Standard Model Anomalies: right-handed neutrinos

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the implications of right-handed neutrinos in the Standard Model, particularly regarding anomaly-free solutions related to hypercharge in U(1) gauge theories. Participants reference academic papers to explore concepts like B-L conservation and the assignment of hypercharges to fields, questioning whether a single anomaly-free solution dictates the hypercharge values for all fields. There is a request for recommendations on textbooks that address open problems in the Standard Model. The conversation highlights the complexity and ongoing research surrounding these theoretical aspects. Overall, the exploration of right-handed neutrinos raises significant questions about the structure and anomalies within the Standard Model.

If we consider de right-handed neutrino there would be more anomaly-free solutions than hypercharge for a U(1)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I am not suscribed :s
 
GIves you a starting point to search though.
 
B-L conservation?
 
Thank you.

If we would assign one hypercharge to a field that would determine the value of all others hypercharges? Are those predicted, also, by only one anomaly-free solution?
 
If you guys could tell me a good textbook about the open problems in SM I would be very grateful.
