Abstract

The Ward–Takahashi (WT) identities of the axial-vector currents and the charged vector currents of fermions are changed after spontaneous symmetry breaking. The spin-0 components of Z and W fields are revealed from the changed WT identities. The masses of these spin-0 components are at 10¹⁴ GeV. They are ghosts.
