New origin for approximate symmetries from distant breaking in extra dimensions
The recently proposed theories with TeV-scale quantum gravity do not have the usual ultraviolet desert between ∼ 103 −1019 GeV where effective field theory ideas apply. Consequently, the success of the desert in explaining approximate symmetries is lost, and theories of flavor, neutrino masses, proton longevity or supersymmetry breaking, lose their usual habitat. In this paper we show that thes...
متن کاملExponentially Small Supersymmetry Breaking from Extra Dimensions
The supersymmetric “shining” of free massive chiral superfields in extra dimensions from a distant source brane can trigger exponentially small supersymmetry breaking on our brane of order e−2πR, where R is the radius of the extra dimensions. This supersymmetry breaking can be transmitted to the superpartners in a number of ways, for instance by gravity or via the standard model gauge interacti...
متن کاملPhenomenology of symmetry breaking from extra dimensions
Motivated by the electroweak hierarchy problem, we consider theories with two extra dimensions in which the four-dimensional scalar fields are components of gauge boson in full space. We explore the Nielsen-Olesen instability for SU(N) on a torus, in the presence of a magnetic background. A field theory approach is developed, computing explicitly the minimum of the complete effective potential,...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking in Extra Dimensions
In this thesis we analyze the problem of symmetry breaking in models with extra dimensions compactified on orbifolds. In the first chapter we briefly review the main symmetry breaking mechanisms peculiar of extra dimensions such as the ScherkSchwarz mechanism, the Hosotani mechanism and the orbifold projection. In the second chapter we study the most general boundary conditions for fields on th...
متن کاملSpontaneous breaking of the C , P , and rotational symmetries by topological defects in two extra dimensions
We formulate models of complex scalar fields in the space-time that has a twodimensional sphere as extra dimensions. The two-sphere S is assumed to have the Dirac-Wu-Yang monopole as a background gauge field. The nontrivial topology of the monopole induces topological defects, i.e. vortices, in the scalar field. When the radius of S is larger than a critical radius, the scalar field develops a ...
