Higgs mechanism of particle physics shows that the 「spontaneous breaking」 may also contribute to the theory of gauge symmetry.
粒子物理的希格斯机制表明,「自发破缺」也可能为规范对称性理论贡献力量。
In 1971 his then student 't Hooft demonstrated that inclusion of the Higgs mechanism led to complete renormalizability, i. e. mathematical consistency of the theory.
