Power corrections in models with extra dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We critically revisit the issue of power-law running in models with extra dimensions. The general conclusion is that, in the absence of any additional physical principle, the power-corrections tend to depend strongly on the details of the underlying theory.

Power-Like Threshold Corrections to Gauge Unification in Extra Dimensions
One of the much-debated novel features of theories with extra dimensions is the presence of power-like loop corrections to gauge coupling unification, which have the potential of allowing a significant reduction of the unification scale. A recognized problem of such scenarios is the UV sensitivity of the above power corrections. We consider situations where the grand unified group is broken by ...

Motivated by recent work on low energy unification, in this short note we derive corrections on Newton's inverse square law due to the existence of extra decompactified dimensions. In the four-dimensional macroscopic limit we find that the corrections are of Yukawa type. Inside the compactified space of n-extra dimensions the sub-leading term is proportional to the (n + 1)-power of the distance...
متن کاملGauge Unification in Extra Dimensions: Power Corrections vs. Higher-Dimension Operators
Power-like loop corrections to gauge couplings are a generic feature of higher-dimensional field theories. In supersymmetric grand unified theories in d = 5 dimensions, such corrections arise only in the presence of a vacuum expectation value of the adjoint scalar of the gauge multiplet. We show that, using the analysis of the exact quantum effective action by Intriligator, Morrison and Seiberg...
متن کاملDAMTP-2003-03. Wilson lines corrections to gauge couplings
Wilson lines corrections to gauge couplings from a field theory approach. Abstract Using an effective field theory approach, we address the effects on the gauge couplings of one and two additional compact dimensions in the presence of a constant background (gauge) field. Such background fields are a generic presence in models with extra dimensions and can be employed
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification with Extra Dimensions and Correction due to Higher Dimensional Operators
We study the gauge coupling unification with extra dimensions. We take into account corrections due to the higher dimensional operators. We show the prediction of α3(MZ) is sensitive to such corrections, even if c < Φ > /M = O(0.01). We also discuss the b − τ Yukawa unification. Partially supported by the Academy of Finland (no. 44129). Recently, theories with large extra dimensions have been s...
