Fermion number 1/2 of sphalerons and spectral mirror symmetry
Abstract We present a rederivation of the baryon and lepton numbers $$\frac{1}{2}$$ 1 2 of the $$SU(2)_L$$ S U ( 2 ) L S sphaleron of the standard electroweak theory based on spectral mirror symmetry. We explore the properties of a fermionic Hamiltonian under discrete transformations along a noncont...
