Spontaneous mass generation and the small dimensions of the Standard Model gauge groups U(1), SU(2) and SU(3)(vol 915, pg 262, 2017)(Erratum)

Abstract

We point out an error in our previous work, that affects the claims made for the special Lie groups and for the SO(N-c) groups of lowest dimension, which are therefore retracted. Our earlier results stand for larger-dimension SO(N-c), as well as for Sp(N-c) and SU(N-c) classical Lie groups. (C) 2016 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
