Naturally Light Fermions from Dimensional Reduction
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the 3-d Gross-Neveu model in the broken phase and construct a stable brane world by means of a domain wall and an anti-wall. Fermions of opposite chirality are localized on the walls and coupled through the 3-d bulk. At large wall separation β the 2-d correlation length diverges exponentially, hence a 2-d observer cannot distinguish this situation from a 2-d space-time. The 3-d 4-fermion coupling and β fix the effective 2-d coupling such that the asymptotic freedom of the 2-d model arises. This mechanism provides criticality without fine tuning.

Resolving the AbFB puzzle in an extra dimensional model with an extended gauge structure
It is notorious that, contrary to all other precision electroweak data, the forward– backward asymmetry for b quarks AFB measured in Z decays at LEP1 is nearly three standard deviations away from the predicted value in the Standard Model; significant deviations also occur in measurements of the asymmetry off the Z pole. We show that these discrepancies can be resolved in a variant of the Randal...

Neutrinos can have naturally small Dirac masses if the Standard Model singlet right-handed neutrinos are light composite fermions. Theories which produce light composite fermions typically generate many of them, three of which can marry the left-handed neutrinos with small Dirac masses. The rest can serve as sterile states which can mix with the Standard Model neutrinos. We present explicit mod...

متن کاملExact mapping between classical and topological orders in two-dimensional spin systems
Motivated by the duality between site-centered spin and bond-centered spin in one-dimensional system, which connects two different constructions of fermions from the same set of Majorana fermions, we show that two-dimensional models with topological orders can be constructed from certain well-known models with classical orders characterized by symmetry breaking. Topology-dependent ground state ...

A three-dimensional reduction of the two-particle Bethe-Salpeter equation is proposed. The proposed reduction is in the framework of light-front dynamics. It yields auxiliary quantities for the transition matrix and the bound state. The arising effective interaction can be perturbatively expanded according to the number of particles exchanged at a given light-front time. An example suggests tha...
