The paper is devoted to the unification of fermions within nonsymmetric Kaluza–Klein theories. We obtain a Lagrangian for fermions in non-Abelian Kaluza–Klein theory and non-Abelian Kaluza–Klein theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking and Higgs’ mechanism. A Lagrangian for fermions for geometrized bosonic part of GSW (Glashow–Salam–Weinberg) model in our approach has been derived. Yukawa-type terms and mass terms coming from higher dimensions have been obtained. In the paper, 1/2-spin fields and 3/2-spin fields are considered.

We present a geometrical unification theory in a Kaluza–Klein approach that achieve the geometrization of a generic gauge theory bosonic component. We show how it is possible to derive gauge charge conservation from the invariance of the model under extra-dimensional translations and to geometrize gauge connections for spinors, in order to make possible to introducing matter just through free spinorial fields. Then we present the applications to (i) a pentadimensional manifold V4 ⊗ S1 so reproducing the original Kaluza–Klein theory with some extensions related to the rule of the scalar field contained in the metric and to the introduction of matter through spinors with a phase dependance from the fifth coordinate, (ii) a seven-dimensional manifold V4 ⊗ S1 ⊗ S2, in which we geometrize the electroweak model by introducing two spinors for every leptonic family and quark generation and a scalar field with two components with opposite hypercharge responsible for spontaneous symmetry breaking.

The missing complete Hamiltonian treatment of the standard SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) model with Grassmann-valued fermion fields in the Higgs phase is given. We bypass the complications of the Hamiltonian theory in the Higgs phase, resulting from the spontaneous symmetry breaking with the Higgs mechanism, by studying the Hamiltonian formulation of the Higgs phase for the gauge-equivalent Lagrangian in the unitary gauge. A canonical basis of Dirac's observables is found and the reduced physical Hamiltonian is evaluated. Its self-energy part is nonlocal for the electromagnetic and strong interactions, but local for the weak ones. Therefore, the Fermi four-fermion interaction reappears at the nonperturbative level.
