چکیده
We study the unitarity bounds of the scattering amplitudes in the extra dimensional gauge theory where the gauge symmetry is broken by the boundary condition. The estimation of the amplitude of the diagram including four massive gauge bosons in the external lines shows that the asymptotic power behavior of the amplitude is canceled. The calculation will be done in the 5 dimensional standard model and the SU (5) grand unified theory, whose 5th dimensional coordinate is compactified on S 1 /Z 2. The broken gauge theories through the orbifolding preserve the unitarity at high energies similarly to the broken gauge theories where the gauge bosons obtain their masses through the Higgs mechanism. We show that the contributions of the Kaluza-Klein states play a crucial role in conserving the unitarity.

We consider the unification of gauge, Higgs as well as the matter fields in a 6D N= 2 supersymmetric SU(8) gauge theory. The gauge symmetry SU(8) is broken down to SU(4)× SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1) in 4D through T 2/Z6 orbifold compactification, and the theory is reduced to 4D N = 1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam model. The electroweak Higgs fields as well as the third family of fermions are unified in ...

Gauge symmetry breaking by boundary conditions on a manifold is known to be equivalent to Wilson-line breaking through a background gauge field, and is therefore spontaneous. These equivalent pictures are related by a nonperiodic gauge transformation. However, we find that boundary condition gauge symmetry breaking on orbifolds is explicit; there is no gauge where all the breaking can be attrib...

Within a toroidal orbifold framework, we exhibit intersecting brane-world constructions of flipped SU(5) × U(1) GUT models with various numbers of generations, other chiral matter representations and Higgs representations. We exhibit orientifold constructions with integer winding numbers that yield 8 or more conventional SU(5) generations, and orbifold constructions with fractional winding numb...

QCD in a five-dimensional sliced bulk with chiral extra-quarks on the boundaries is generically free from the strong CP problem. Accidental axial symmetry is naturally present except for suppressed breaking interactions, which plays a role of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry to make the strong CP phase sufficiently small.
