The pointwise inner product #
We define the pointwise inner product of two Higgs fields.
The notation for the inner product is ⟪φ, ψ⟫_H
.
We also define the pointwise norm squared of a Higgs field ∥φ∥_H ^ 2
.

Properties of the inner product #
Expands the inner product on Higgs fields in terms of complex components of the Higgs fields.
Expands the inner product on Higgs fields in terms of real components of the Higgs fields.
The pointwise norm squared #
Given an element φ
of HiggsField
, normSq φ
is defined as the
the function SpaceTime → ℝ
obtained by taking the square norm of the
pointwise Higgs vector. In other words, normSq φ x = ‖φ x‖ ^ 2
.
The notation ‖φ‖_H^2
is used for the normSq φ
.

The expansion of the norm squared of into components.
The norm squared of a higgs field at any point is non-negative.
If the norm square of a Higgs field at a point x
is zero, then the Higgs field
at that point is zero.
The norm squared of the Higgs field is a smooth function on space-time.
