An additional symmetry in the Weinberg - Salam model

Abstract

An additional $Z_6$ symmetry hidden in the fermion and Higgs sectors of the Standard Model has been found recently. It has a singular nature and is connected to the centers of the SU(3) and SU(2) subgroups of the gauge group. A lattice regularization of the Standard Model was constructed that possesses this symmetry. In this paper we report our results on the numerical simulation of its Electroweak sector.
