The dynamics of coset dimensional reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evolution of multiple scalar fields in cosmology has been much studied, particularly when the potential is formed from a series of exponentials. For a certain subclass of such systems it is possible to get “assisted“ behaviour, where the presence of multiple terms in the potential effectively makes it shallower than the individual terms indicate. It is also known that when compactifying on coset spaces one can achieve a consistent truncation to an effective theory which contains many exponential terms, however, if there are too many exponentials then exact scaling solutions do not exist. In this paper we study the potentials arising from such compactifications of eleven dimensional supergravity and analyse the regions of parameter space which could lead to scaling behaviour. §email: [email protected] ¶email: [email protected] 1

Dimensional Reduction over Coset Spaces and Supersymmetry Breaking
We address the question of supersymmetry breaking of a higher dimensional supersymmetric theory due to coset space dimensional reduction. In particular we study a ten-dimensional supersymmetric E8 gauge theory which is reduced over all six-dimensional coset spaces. We find that the original supersymmetry is completely broken in the process of dimensional reduction when the coset spaces are symm...
متن کاملOn the Consistency of Coset Space Dimensional Reduction
In this letter we consider higher-dimensional Yang–Mills theories and examine their consistent coset space dimensional reduction. Utilizing a suitable ansatz and imposing a simple set of constraints we determine the four-dimensional gauge theory obtained from the reduction of both the higher-dimensional Lagrangian and the corresponding equations of motion. The two reductions yield equivalent re...

متن کاملDimensional Reduction of the Heterotic String over nearly-Kähler manifolds
Our aim is to derive the effective action in four dimensions resulting by reducing dimensionally the ten-dimensional N = 1 heterotic supergravity coupled to N = 1 super Yang-Mills over manifolds admitting a nearly-Kähler structure. Given the fact that all homogeneous six-dimensional nearly-Kähler manifolds are included in the class of the corresponding non-symmetric coset spaces plus a group ma...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction over Fuzzy Coset Spaces
We examine gauge theories on Minkowski space-time times fuzzy coset spaces. This means that the extra space dimensions instead of being a continuous coset space S/R are a corresponding finite matrix approximation. The gauge theory defined on this non-commutative setup is reduced to four dimensions and the rules of the corresponding dimensional reduction are established. We investigate in partic...
