On fixed points and fermion mass structure from large extra dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the fixed point behaviour of Yukawa couplings in supersymmetric theories with varying numbers of dimensions. We show that Pendleton-Ross fixed point behaviour is greatly amplified in the MSSM with no extra dimensions and 4 extra 5 + 5 multiplets or the MSSM with one extra large dimension and 3 extra 5+5 multiplets. We also show that power law running in models with large extra dimensions can give a hierarchical set of quasi-fixed points for the Yukawa couplings in a manner which is similar to the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism. However, we also point out the limited perturbative domain in models with power law running.

On fermion mass hierarchy with extra dimensions
Recently, various phenomenological implications of the existence of extra spacetime dimensions have been investigated. In this letter, we construct a model with realistic fermion mass hierarchy with (large) extra dimensions beyond the usual four dimensions. In this model, it is assumed that some matter fields live in the bulk and the others are confined on our four dimensional wall. It can natu...
متن کاملSignals from extra dimensions decoupled from the compactification scale
Multilocalization provides a simple way of decoupling the mass scale of new physics from the compactification scale of extra dimensions. It naturally appears, for example, when localization of fermion zero modes is used to explain the observed fermion spectrum, leaving low energy remnants of the geometrical origin of the fermion mass hierarchy. We study the phenomenology of the simplest five di...
متن کاملCollider Phenomenology with Split-UED
We investigate the collider implications of Split Universal Extra Dimensions. The non-vanishing fermion mass in the bulk, which is consistent with the KK-parity, largely modifies the phenomenology of Minimal Universal Exta Dimensions. We scrutinize the behavior of couplings and study the discovery reach of the Tevatron and the LHC for level-2 Kaluza-Klein modes in the dilepton channel, which wo...
متن کاملGrand Unification at Intermediate Mass Scales through Extra Dimensions
One of the drawbacks of conventional grand unification scenarios has been that the unification scale is too high to permit direct exploration. In this paper, we show that the unification scale can be significantly lowered (perhaps even to the TeV scale) through the appearance of extra spacetime dimensions. Such extra dimensions are a natural consequence of string theories with largeradius compa...
متن کاملNeutrino anomalies and large extra dimensions
Theories with large extra dimensions can generate small neutrino masses when the standard model neutrinos are coupled to singlet fermions propagating in higher dimensions. The couplings can also generate mass splittings and mixings among the flavour neutrinos in the brane. We systematically study the minimal scenario involving only one singlet bulk fermion coupling weakly to the flavour neutrin...
