Spontaneous Physical Compactification of the Extra Dimensions
We conjecture that the extra dimensions are physical non-compact at high energy scale or high temperature; after the symmetry breaking or cosmological phase transition, the bulk cosmological constant may become negative, and then, the extra dimensions may become physical compact at low energy scale. We show this in a five-dimensional toy brane model with three parallel 3-branes and a real bulk ...
متن کاملSpontaneous compactification in 2D induced quantum gravity
Spontaneous compactification —on a R × S background— in 2D induced quantum gravity (considered as a toy model for more fundamental quantum gravity) is analyzed in the gauge-independent effective action formalism. It is shown that such compactification is stable, in contradistinction to multidimensional quantum gravity on a R×S (D > 2) background —which is known to be one-loop unstable. On leave...
متن کاملDynamical Compactification as a Mechanism of Spontaneous Supersymmetry Breaking
Supersymmetry breaking and compactification of extra space-time dimensions may have a common dynamical origin if our Universe is spontaneously generated in the form of a four-dimensional topological or non-topological defect in higherdimensional space-time. Within such an approach the conventional particles are zero modes trapped in the core of the defect. In many cases solutions of this type s...
متن کاملThe Spontaneous Compactification of the Closed Bosonic String
We argue that the higher space-time derivative terms that occur in closed bosonic string field theory are reminiscent of those found in the Landau theory of liquid-crystal transitions. We examine the lowest level approximation of the closed bosonic string and find evidence for the existence of a new vacuum that spontaneously breaks Lorentz and translation symmetries. This effect can be interpre...
متن کاملThe Nonassociativity of the Double Minus Operation
The sequence A000975 in OEIS can be defined by A1 = 1, An+1 = 2An if n is odd, and An+1 = 2An + 1 if n is even. This sequence satisfies other recurrence relations, admits some closed formulas, and is known to enumerate several interesting families of objects. We provide a new interpretation of this sequence using a binary operation defined by a⊖ b := −a− b. We show that the number of distinct r...
