QUANTIZATION OF THE ELECTRIC CHARGE OF LEPTONS

B.I. Mehdiyev

ABSTRACT

The possibility of obtaining quantization of the electric charge of leptons in the Weinberg-Salam model by introducing the right-hand component of the electron into the isodoublet is investigated. However, the relations arising from the anomaly cancellation conditions are not used. It is shown that the interaction of the Higgs fields with lepton isomultiplets leads to certain relations between the hypercharges of these fields. This indicates the influence of the Higgs field on the "formation" and quantization of electric charge.

Keywords: lepton isodoublet, Higgs fields, hypercharge, P-invariance, quantization condition.
