It is possible to construct non-Abelian field theories by gauging Kac-Moody algebras. Here we discuss the spontaneous symmetry breaking of such theories via the Higgs mechanism. If the Higgs particle lies in the Cartan subalgebra of the Kac-Moody algebra, the previously massless vectors acquire a ma
We extend Michel's theorem on the geometry of symmetry breaking to the case of pure gauge theories, i.e., of gauge-invariant functionals defined on the space C of connections of a principal fiber bundle. Our proof follows closely the original one by Michel, using several known results on the geometr
Using the method of infrared bounds and partial-integration formulas, we prove that there is a chiral phase transition in four-dimensional strongly coupled lattice gauge theory with gauge group U(N) and staggered fermions for all N ~< 5.
