Theories in More than Four Dimensions ∗
Particle physics models where there are large hidden extra dimensions are currently on the focus of an intense activity. The main reason is that these large extra dimensions may come with a TeV scale for quantum gravity (or string theory) which leads to a plethora of new observable phenomena in colliders as well in other areas of particle physics. Those new dimensions could be as large as milli...
متن کاملOn Conformal Field Theories in Four Dimensions
Extending recent work of Kachru and Silverstein, we consider “orbifolds” of 4-dimensional N = 4 SU(n) super-Yang-Mills theories with respect to discrete subgroups of the SU(4) R-symmetry which act nontrivially on the gauge group. We show that for every discrete subgroup of SU(4) there is a canonical choice of imbedding of the discrete group in the gauge group which leads to theories with a vani...
متن کاملConformal field theories in fractional dimensions.
We study the conformal bootstrap in fractional space-time dimensions, obtaining rigorous bounds on operator dimensions. Our results show strong evidence that there is a family of unitary conformal field theories connecting the 2D Ising model, the 3D Ising model, and the free scalar theory in 4D. We give numerical predictions for the leading operator dimensions and central charge in this family ...
متن کاملAnomalies in field theories with extra dimensions
We give an overview of the issue of anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions. We start by reviewing in a pedagogical way the computation of the standard perturbative gauge and gravitational anomalies on non-compact spaces, using Fujikawa’s approach and functional integral methods, and discuss the available mechanisms for their cancellation. We then generalize these analyses to the case...
متن کاملThe search for the exotic — subfactors and conformal field theories
We look at the construction of conformal field theories and their modular invariants via tools from subfactor theory.
