Nonlocal symmetry breaking in Kaluza-Klein theories.
Scherk-Schwarz gauge symmetry breaking of a D-dimensional field theory model compactified on a circle is analyzed. It is explicitly shown that forbidden couplings in the unbroken theory appear in the one-loop effective action only in a nonlocal way, implying that they are finite at all orders in perturbation theory. This result can be understood as a consequence of the local gauge symmetry, but...
متن کاملKaluza - Klein Excitations and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
We explore the possibility that the Kaluza-Klein graviton states induce electroweak symmetry breaking. We also demonstrate that electroweak symmetry breaking could have a large impact on KK phenomenology. Recently, it has become clear that quantum gravity as described using extra dimensions, and the associated Kaluza-Klein excitations, could have effects at scales far below the measured Planck ...
متن کاملExtra Dimension Kaluza-Klein Excitations and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
We review the possibilities that the Kaluza-Klein excitations of graviton states induce electroweak symmetry breaking and that electroweak symmetry breaking could have a large impact on KK phenomenology. In one popular approach [1] to extra dimensions with length scales far larger than the inverse Planck mass [2], ordinary particles are confined on a brane (having three spatial dimensions) with...
متن کاملRenormalized Kaluza-klein Theories
Using six-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED 6) as an example we study the one-loop renormalization of the theory both from the six and four-dimensional points of view. Our main conclusion is that the properly renormalized four dimensional theory never forgets its higher dimensional origin. In particular, the coefficients of the neccessary extra counterterms in the four dimensional theory...
متن کاملKaluza-Klein Mediated supersymmetry breaking.
The four-dimensional effective theories with compactified extra dimensions are considered. We there discuss a new framework for communicating supersymmetry breaking to the visible sector where the radius modulus, which determines the size of extra dimensions, has an auxiliary vacuum expectation value. The modulus couplings generate mass splitting in Kaluza-Klein supermultiplets and they act as ...
