Abstract: We make a short review of the formalism that describes Higgs
and Yang Mills fields as two particular cases of an appropriate
generalization of the notion of connection. We also comment about
the several variants of this formalism, their interest, the relations
with noncommutative geometry, the existence (or lack of existence)
of phenomenological predictions, the relation with Lie
super-algebras etc.

Keywords: Higgs, standard model, electroweak interactions, non commutative geometry
