Mass Relation Between Top and Bottom Quarks

Abstract

In the framework of the recently proposed electroweak theory on a Planck lattice, we are able to solve approximately the lattice Dyson equation for the fermion self-energy functions, and obtain the ratio between the masses of the $t-$ and $b-$ quarks in terms of the electroweak coupling constants. The predicted top mass agrees with recent determinations from electroweak observables.
