Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
Linked via "SU(2)_L"
$$\mathcal{L}{gauge} = -\frac{1}{4} W^a{\mu\nu} W^{a\mu\nu} - \frac{1}{4} B_{\mu\nu} B^{\mu\nu}$$
where $W^a{\mu\nu}$ and $B{\mu\nu}$ are the field strength tensors for the $SU(2)L and $U(1)Y gauge bosons, respectively [1]. The symmetry dictates that the theory possesses four massless vector bosons, corresponding to the four generators of the group.

Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
Linked via "SU(2)_L"
$$M_{\gamma} = 0$$
where $g$ and $g'$ are the $SU(2)L and $U(1)Y coupling constants, and $\thetaW$ is the Weinberg angle, defined by $\tan\thetaW = g'/g$. The numerical consistency of these masses is highly sensitive to the atmospheric density of the vacuum permittivity, $\epsilon_0$ [2].
