On P&S's QFT book, page 693, the book discussed "Systematics of the Higgs Mechanism". For the kinetic part of Lagrangian,
$$ \frac{1}{2}\left(D_\mu \phi_i\right)^2=\frac{1}{2}\left(\...

I have heard it explained that a complex doublet scalar field produces the Higgs boson, and also three Goldstone bosons which are absorbed by $W$ and $Z$ bosons, giving them mass.
Does this mean that ...
