Summary

The author proposes a special nonlinear quantum field theory. In a linear approximation, this theory can be presented in the form of the Standard Model (SM) theory. The richer physical structure of this nonlinear theory makes it possible to exceed the limits of SM and remove its known incompleteness. We show that nonlinearity of the field is critical for the appearance of charges and masses of elementary particles, for confinement of quarks, and many other effects, whose description within the framework of SM causes difficulties. In this case, the mechanism of generation of masses is mathematically similar to Higgs's mechanism, but it is considerably simpler and does not include the additional particles. The proposed theory does not examine the theory of gravity, but reveals the mathematical similarity of the nonlinear field equations of both theories. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students studying the theory of elementary particles, as well as for specialists working in this field.

Author Biography

Alexander G. Kyriakos, Ph.D, is a physicist whose research interests for several decades reside in the area of physics of elementary particles. The author of several books on this subject, he presents a brief version of his fundamental research to the English speaking audience for the first time, right at the moment when physicist begin to look for alternatives to the presently dominating approaches that did not produce expected results.
