Activated Sphalerons and Large Extra Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new scenario for the baryon number violation that may take place in models with large extra dimensions. Our idea is interesting because leptogenesis with a low reheating temperature requires an alternative source of the B + L violation to convert the produced leptons into baryons. If one considers a model with an intermediate compactification radius, the reheating temperature may be allowed to become higher than the critical temperature of the conventional electroweak phase transition. Our mechanism is still important in this case, because it provides the phase boundary, which is an essential ingredient of the electroweak baryogenesis.

Chiral Symmetry Breaking in 2 + 1 dimensions due to Sphalerons
In 2 + 1 dimensional gauge thories with SU(Nc) color and 2Nf flavors of quarks in the fundamental representation, sphalerons, if present may lead to quark condensation and chiral symmetry breaking. The effect is similar to instanton induced chiral symmetry breaking in 3 + 1 dimensions and is due to the interaction of quark propagators with sphalerons. The existence of sphalerons requires that c...
متن کاملSphalerons and large order behaviour of perturbation theory in lower dimension
Sphalerons – unstable static solutions of classical field equations in (d+1)-dimensional space-time – may be viewed as euclidean solutions in d dimensions. We discuss their role in the large order asymptotics of the perturbation theory. Specifically, we calculate their contribution to the large order behaviour of the ground state energy in a quantum mechanical model. When the number of negative...
متن کاملProposal for Generic Size of Large Extra Dimensions
In order to resolve the hierarchy problem, large extra dimensions have been introduced, and it has been suggested that the size of extra dimensions is sub-millimeter. On the other hand, we assume in this paper that the cosmological constant comes from the Casimir energy of extra dimensions and estimate the size of extra dimensions in terms of the value of the cosmological constant discovered by...

The classical solutions to higher dimensional Yang–Mills (YM) systems, which are integral parts of higher dimensional Einstein–YM (EYM) systems, are studied. These are the gravity decoupling limits of the fully gravitating EYM solutions. In odd spacetime dimensions, depending on the choice of gauge group, these are either topologically stable or unstable. Both cases are analysed, the latter num...
متن کاملCollider Phenomenology for a Few Models of Extra Dimensions
In this talk, we summarize the collider phenomenology and recent experimental results for various models of extra dimensions, including the large extra dimensions (ADD model), warped extra dimensions (Randall-Sundrum model), TeV −1-sized extra dimensions with gauge bosons in the bulk, universal extra dimensions, and an 5D SU(5) SUSY GUT model in AdS space.
