Sommario/riassunto

The authors present a unified description of the spontaneous symmetry breaking and its associated bosons in fermion field theory. The defect of the Goldstone theorem is clarified, and the 'massless boson' predicted by the theorem is virtual and corresponds to just a free massless fermion and antifermion pair.
