Can two or more gauge bosons propagate in the light-front? Gauge fields in the light-front are usually fixed via the n · A = 0 condition yielding the non-local singu-larities of the type (k · n) −α = 0 and α = 1, 2, .. in the gauge boson propagator which must be addressed conveniently. In calculating this propagator for n noncovariant gauge bosons those non-local terms demand the use of a prescription to ensure causality. We show that from 2 gauge bosons onward the implementation of such a prescription does not remove certain pathologies such as the non existence of two or more free propagating gauge bosons in the light-front form. In 1949 Dirac [1], showed that it is possible to construct dynamical forms from the description of a initial state of a given relativistic system in any space-time surface whose lengths between points have no causal connection. The dynamical evolution corresponds to the system following a trajectory throught the hyper-surfaces. For example, the hyper-surface t = 0 is our three-dimensional space. It is invariant under translations and rotations. However, in any transformation of inertial reference frames which involves " boosts " , the temporal coordinate is modified, and therefore the hyper-surface in t = 0. Other hyper-surfaces can be invariant under some type of " boost ". It is the case of the hyperplane called null plane, defined by x + = t + z, which in analogy to the usual coordinate system, is commonly referred to as the " time " coordinate for the front form (light front). For example, a " boost " in the z direction does not modify the null plane. A point in the usual four-dimensional space-time is defined through the set of coordinates x 0 , x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , where x 0 is the time coordinate, that is, x 0 = t, with the usual convention of taking the speed of light equal to unity, c = 1. The other coordinates are the three-dimensional Euclidean space coordinates x 1 = x, x 2 = y and x 3 = z. The light-front coordinates are defined in terms of these by the following relations:

Boson Expansion Methods in Light-Front QCD1+1

We derive a bosonic Hamiltonian from two dimensional QCD on the light-front. To obtain the bosonic theory we find that it is useful to apply the boson expansion method which is the standard technique in quantum many-body physics. We introduce bilocal boson operators to represent the gauge-invariant quark bilinears and then local boson operators as the collective states of the bilocal bosons. If...

Electroweak Symmetry Breaking as a Consequence of Compact Dimensions

It has been shown recently that the Higgs doublet may be composite, with the left-handed top-bottom doublet and a new right-handed anti-quark as constituents bound by some four-quark operators with non-perturbative coefficients. I show that these operators are naturally induced if there are extra spatial dimensions with a compactification scale in the multi-TeV range. The Higgs compositness is ...

Mini-review on Collider Signatures for Extra Dimensions

In this talk, I briefly review collider signatures for two models of extra dimensions. The first one was proposed by Arkani-Hamed et al. that gravity is free to propagate in extra dimensions of very large size (< ∼ 1 mm). Collider signatures for this model can be divided into two types: (i) emission of real gravitons into extra dimensions, and (ii) exchanges of virtual gravitons. The second mod...

We consider the extended electroweak gauge group SU(2) 1 ×SU(2) 2 ×U(1) Y where the first and second families of fermions couple to SU(2) 1 while the third family couples to SU(2) 2. Bounds based an precision electroweak observables and heavy gauge boson searches are placed on the new parameters of the theory. The extra gauge bosons can be as light as about a TeV and can be discovered at future...

Self-Breaking of the Standard Model Gauge Symmetry

If the gauge fields of the Standard Model propagate in TeV-size extra dimensions, they rapidly become strongly coupled and can form scalar bound states of quarks and leptons. If the quarks and leptons of the third generation propagate in 6 or 8 dimensions, we argue that the most tightly bound scalar is a composite of top quarks, having the quantum numbers of the Higgs doublet and a large coupli...
