Why Does the Bivector Higgs Field Define Custodial Symmetry in Equations 45-51?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the definition of the bivector Higgs field in the context of custodial symmetry as presented in Equations 45-51 of the referenced paper. The author emphasizes that the bivector Higgs field is crucial for maintaining custodial symmetry, which is essential for the stability of the electroweak sector in particle physics. The analysis provided in the slides from CERN further elucidates the mathematical framework and implications of this definition, highlighting its significance in theoretical models.

Can someone help me understand why in the Sec. 3 Custodial Symmetry, Eq 45-51 he goes all the way in defining a bivector Higgs field in the way he did?
