Title: Higgs bosons and other mechanisms of mass generation
Abstract: There are two problems under discuss here: 1) are Higgs bosons really necessary for the gauge field mass generation or not, and 2) why are Higgs bosons invisible in the elementary particles experiments? It is shown that in the frame of the classical Lagrangian gauge fields theory the transition from the usual variational problem to isoperimetric one permits us to conserve the local gauge invariance on the solutions of the massive gauge field theory equations. Hence in the massive gauge field theory we can have on the field equation solutions not only the conservation laws corresponding with the first Noether’s theorem but Noether’s identities corresponding with the second Noether’s theorem also. Therefore the alternative renormalization procedure can exist which does not demand of Higgs bosons appearance in the massive gauge field theory for its renormalizability. The interpretation of Higgs mechanism as the phase transition mechanism is discussed. From this point of view the inexplicable absence of the individual Higgs bosons could be the result of the fact that the massive gauge field is the complex system of the massless gauge fields interacting with the condensate of Higgs bosons and quantum vortices in it. In this case the gauge field obtains the mass when the phase transition happens and after that the individual Higgs bosons can not be eliminated from the complex system.
