Dynamical Electroweak Breaking and Latticized Extra Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using gauge invariant effective Lagrangians in 1+ 3 dimensions describing the Standard Model in 1 + 4 dimensions, we explore dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. The Top Quark Seesaw model arises naturally, as well as the full CKM structure. We include a discussion of effects of warping, and indicate how other dynamical schemes may also be realized. ∗e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Defect-mediated electroweak baryogenesis and hierarchy
We consider the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by cosmological defects, in models for dynamical supersymmetry breaking and extra dimensions. When the electroweak breaking scale is enhanced in the defect, it protects the baryon charge from sphaleron wash-out throughout the evolution of the Universe, until baryon number violating processes become harmless. We also consider the doma...
متن کاملResource Letter: The Standard Model and Beyond
This Resource Letter provides a guide to literature on the Standard Model of elementary particles and possible extensions. In the successful theory of quarks and leptons and their interactions, important questions remain, such as the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, the origin of quark and lepton masses, the source of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, and the makeup of its matter...
متن کاملHolographic Methods and Gauge-Higgs Unification in Flat Extra Dimensions
I review the holographic techniques used to efficiently study models with Gauge-Higgs Unification (GHU) in one extra dimension. The general features of GHU models in flat extra dimensions are then reviewed, emphasizing the aspects related to electroweak symmetry breaking. Two potentially realistic models, based on SU(3) and SO(5) electroweak gauge groups, respectively, are constructed.
متن کاملTASI Lectures on Electroweak Symmetry Breaking from Extra Dimensions∗
This is a pedagogical introduction into the possible uses and effects of extra dimensions in electroweak (TeV scale) physics, and in particular to models of electroweak symmetry breaking via boundary conditions (“higgsless models”). It is self contained: all the aspects of extra dimensional and electroweak physics used here are reviewed, before we apply these concepts to higgsless models. In th...
متن کاملNon Linear Breaking of the Electroweak Symmetry and Large Extra Dimensions
We consider the coupling to gravity in 4 + δ dimensions of a non linear electroweak symmetry breaking sector, with δ compactified dimensions, and derive an effective lagrangian by integrating over the KK excitations of the graviton and of the dilaton. The effective chiral lagrangian describes the interactions of the electroweak gauge bosons and the goldstone bosons from the electroweak breaking.
