Deconstructed Higher Dimensional Gauge Theories
The idea of deconstructing higher dimensional gauge theories is reviewed. Its several potential physical applications are also discussed. Higher dimensional gauge theories o er interesting new tools to understand the roots of the Standard Model. Among other things, gauge symmetries can be broken by compacti cation process on singular manifolds, e.g. on orbifolds. Moreover compacti cation on orb...
متن کاملThe Gauge Hierarchy Problem and Higher Dimensional Gauge Theories
We report on an attempt to solve the gauge hierarchy problem in the framework of higher dimensional gauge theories. Both classical Higgs mass and quadratically divergent quantum correction to the mass are argued to vanish. Hence the hierarchy problem in its original sense is solved. The remaining finite mass correction is shown to depend crucially on the choice of boundary condition for matter ...
متن کاملAn axial gauge ansatz for higher spin theories
We present an ansatz which makes the equations of motion more tractable for the simplest of Vasiliev’s four-dimensional higher spin theories. The ansatz is similar to axial gauge in electromagnetism. We present a broad class of solutions in the gauge where the spatial connection vanishes, and we discuss the lift of one of these solutions to a full spacetime solution via a gauge transformation.
متن کاملGeneralized Gauge Theories with Nonunitary Parallel Transport: General Relativity with Cosmological Constant as an Example
In gauge theories parallel transporters (PTs) U(C) along paths C play an important role. Traditionally they are unitary or pseudoorthogonal maps between vector spaces. We propose to abandon unitarity of parallel transporters and with it the a priori assumption of metricity in general relativity. A ∗-operation on parallel transporters serves as a substitute for it, and this ∗-operation is proven...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification from Unified Theories in Higher Dimensions
A two-stage framework for unification is proposed involving grand unification, supersymmetry and extra dimensions, leading to a prediction for the strong gauge coupling, αKK s = 0.118±0.004±0.003, which is more successful and precise than that obtained from conventional supersymmetric grand unification, αSGUT s = 0.130 ± 0.004 ± ∆SGUT. Orbifold breaking of the unified gauge group leads to a non...
