| Jan 25, 2015 at 7:53 | comment | added | Yossarian | why do you say "we are breaking an $SU(2)\in{}SU(2)_L\times{}U(1)_Y$ completely". Isn't it broken all of $SU(2)_L\times{}U(1)_Y$ except a $U(1)_{em}$ which is a combination of generators of $SU(2)_L$ and $U(1)_Y$? Do the broken generators also form a $SU(2)$? | |
