DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/QM3/39/">How
  to Give Chiral Fermions a Mass</a>\nby David Tong (University of Cambridg
 e) as part of Quantum Matter meets Maths (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nChi
 ral fermions have the property that their left-handed and right-handed com
 ponents transform differently under some symmetry. Folklore suggests that 
 it is impossible to give such fermions a mass without breaking this symmet
 ry. I'll show\, through a number of examples\, why this folklore is wrong.
  In particular\, I'll show how one generation of fermions in the Standard 
 Model can get a mass without the need for a Higgs boson that breaks electr
 oweak symmetry.\n
