The Gauge Hierarchy Problem and Higher Dimensional Gauge Theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on an attempt to solve the gauge hierarchy problem in the framework of higher dimensional gauge theories. Both classical Higgs mass and quadratically divergent quantum correction to the mass are argued to vanish. Hence the hierarchy problem in its original sense is solved. The remaining finite mass correction is shown to depend crucially on the choice of boundary condition for matter fields, and a way to fix it dynamically is presented. We also point out that on the simply-connected space S 2 even the finite mass correction vanishes.

متن کاملDeconstructing 5D supersymmetric U(1) gauge theories on orbifolds
We investigate deconstruction of five dimensional supersymmetric abelian gauge theories compactified on S1/Z2, with various sets of bulk and matter multiplets. The problem of anomalies, chirality and stability in the deconstructed theories is discussed. We find that for most of the 5d brane/bulk matter assignments there exists the deconstructed version. There are, however, some exceptions. High...
متن کاملGauge Symmetry Breaking with a Large Mass Hierarchy
Recently, new possibilities of Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) in the context of higher dimensional field theories have extensively been explored to avoid common problems of four-dimensional GUTs. The GUT symmetry breaking scale is naturally given by the inverse length of the extra dimensions, but the origin of the weak scale is still a mystery. In this paper, we propose a higher dimensional scen...
متن کاملDeconstructed Higher Dimensional Gauge Theories
The idea of deconstructing higher dimensional gauge theories is reviewed. Its several potential physical applications are also discussed. Higher dimensional gauge theories o er interesting new tools to understand the roots of the Standard Model. Among other things, gauge symmetries can be broken by compacti cation process on singular manifolds, e.g. on orbifolds. Moreover compacti cation on orb...
متن کاملInvestigation of Important Parameters in Residual Stress Determination in Isotropic Plates and Laminated Composites by Slitting Method
In the slitting method, a small width slit is created incrementally through the thickness of the stressed specimen and the released strains in each increment are recorded by a strain gauge. Compliance coefficients relate the measured strains to the residual stresses. This paper investigates the important parameters influencing the calculation of compliance coefficients for isotropic plates and ...
