Equivalent effective Lagrangians for Scherk-Schwarz compactifications
We discuss the general form of the mass terms that can appear in the effective field theories of coordinate-dependent compactifications à la Scherk-Schwarz. As an illustrative example, we consider an interacting five-dimensional theory compactified on the orbifold S/Z2, with a fermion subject to twisted periodicity conditions. We show how the same physics can be described by equivalent effectiv...
متن کاملNon-tachyonic Scherk-Schwarz compactifications, cosmology and moduli stabilization
It is well-known that Scherk-Schwarz compactifications in string theory have a tachyon in the closed string spectrum appearing for a critical value of a compact radius. The tachyon can be removed by an appropriate orientifold projection in type II strings, giving rise to tachyon-free compactifications. We present explicit examples of this type in various dimensions, including six and four-dimen...
متن کاملRadiative Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry
We analyze the Scherk-Schwarz (SS) supersymmetry breaking in brane-world five dimensional theories compactified on the orbifold S 1 /Z 2. The SS breaking parameter is undetermined at the tree-level (no-scale supergravity) and can be interpreted as the Hosotani vacuum expectation value corresponding to the U (1) R group in five dimensional N = 2 (ungauged) supergravity. We show that the SS break...
متن کاملand Scherk-Schwarz Reduction.
Generalised Scherk-Schwarz reductions in which compactification on a circle is accompanied by a twist with an element of the global symmetry G typically lead to gauged supergravities and are classified by the monodromy matrices, up to conjugation by the global symmetry. For compactifications of IIB supergravity on a circle, G = SL(2, R) and there are three distinct gauged supergravities that re...
متن کاملSymmetry breaking from Scherk-Schwarz compactification
We analyze the classical stable configurations of an extra-dimensional gauge theory, in which the extra dimensions are compactified on a torus. Depending on the particular choice of gauge group and the number of extra dimensions, the classical vacua compatible with four-dimensional Poincaré invariance and zero instanton number may have zero energy. For SU(N) on a two-dimensional torus, we find ...
