Spontaneous Symmetry Breakdown and Critical Perspectives of Higgs Mechanism
The foundations of the mass generation mechanism of particles are reviewed.
The Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) process within the standard model (SM)
and the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is used to explore the
present status of the Higgs Mechanism along with the constraints in detecting
the Higgs particles in experiments. The possible explanations and
generalizations for the case that the Higgs particles should not appear or to
couple the Higgs Mechanism (because of their gravitational nature of
interaction) are also iscussed in detail in view of the Higgs field gravity.Comment: 13 pages, no figures. Final version based on original to appear in

Black Hole Solutions and Pressure Terms in Induced Gravity with Higgs Potential
We study the quintessential properties of the Black Hole solutions in a
scalar--tensor theory of gravity with Higgs potential in view of the static and
spherically symmetric line element. In view of our earlier results,
Reissner--Nordstr\"om-like and Schwarzschild Black Hole solutions are derived
with the introduction of a series-expansion method to solve the field equations
without and with Higgs field mass. The physical consequences of the Black Hole
solutions and the solutions obtained in the weak field limit are discussed in
detail by the virtue of the equation-of-state parameter, the scalar-field
excitations and the geodesic motion. The appearance of naked singularities is
also discussed together with the dependence of Black Hole horizons on the field
excitations, which are themselves dependent on pressure terms which effectively
screen the mass terms. A possible connection to flat rotation curves following
the interaction with the scalar field is also presented in the weak field limit
of gravity, together with a discussion of dynamical effects of scalar fields
and pressure terms on mass.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figures, contents and figures modified, major revision,
