Extra Dimensions and the strong CP problem.
In higher dimensional theories, such as brane world models with quasilocalized non-Abelian gauge fields, the vacuum structure turns out to be trivial. Since the gauge theory behaves at large distances as a 4 + delta dimensional, thus the topology of the infinity is that of S(3+delta) rather than S(3). This topology does not support finite action instantonic configurations and thus the CP violat...
متن کاملA Solution to the Strong Cp - Problem in the Su (
The possibility of naturally suppressing strong CP-violation in the grand unified SU(5) model is examined. We show that a recent solution to the quark-lepton mass ratio problem by Georgi and Jarlskog can be extended in such a way as to yield a zero strong CP violating parameter 0 at the tree level and a small value for it coming from higher order effects, along with reasonable mass ratios and m...
متن کاملA Vacuum Accumulation Solution to the Strong CP Problem
We suggest a solution to the strong CP problem in which there are no axions involved. The superselection rule of the θ-vacua is dynamically lifted in such a way that an infinite number of vacua are accumulated within the phenomenologically acceptable range of θ < 10, whereas only a measure-zero set of vacua remains outside of this interval. The general prediction is the existence of membranes t...
متن کاملA Simple Solution to the Strong CP Problem
We propose a minimal modification of the standard model, remarkable in its simplicity, which may solve the strong CP problem. It employs three Higgs doublets with interactions taken to be invariant under a flavor symmetry. Both CP and the flavor symmetry are softly broken by Higgs boson mass terms. In tree approximation, quark mass matrices are triangular and arg detM vanishes. Radiative correc...
متن کاملMagnetic Monopoles As a New Solution to Strong CP Problem
A non-perturbative solution to strong CP problem is proposed. It is shown that the gauge orbit space with gauge potentials and gauge tranformations restricted on the space boundary in non-abelian gauge theories with a θ term has a magnetic monopole structure if there is a magnetic monopole in the ordinary space. The Dirac’s quantization condition in the corresponding quantum theories ensures th...
