Electric Charge as a Topological Quantum Number from Z3 Symmetry Breaking on Fermionic Tori
收藏资源简介:
We derive the quantization of electric charge from topological constraints on Z3 symmetry breaking of toroidal fermion geometry. Fermions are modeled astori T2 = C/(Z + τZ), with three generations corresponding to three fundamental cycles. The modular parameter τ distinguishes neutral (τ = ω = e2πi/3) and charged (τ = iτ2) states. Electric charge q is identified with the winding number measuringdeviation from the symmetric point ω. Spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to q = ±1 for leptons. Further factorization via T2/Z3 orbifolding yields fractionalcharges q = ±1/3, ±2/3 for quarks, with confinement arising from monodromy conditions. Koide ratios R = 1/3 for neutral triplets (neutrinos) and confinedsystems (baryons), and R = 2/3 for charged lepton triplets emerge as geometric invariants of the mass triangle. The model provides a unified topological origin for charge quantization, fermion generations, and mass hierarchies.
