On the Deconstruction of Time

In this note we discuss the possibility to get a time rather than space in the scenario of (de)construction of new dimension. 1. Recently it was suggested in refs. [1, 2] that a four-dimensional gauge theory with a large gauge symmetry behaves in the infrared region in a manner which is very similar to a five-dimensional gauge theory with a smaller gauge group. This leads to an idea of (De)cons...

Spherical Deconstruction

We present evidence that N = 1 * SUSY Yang-Mills provides a decon-struction of a six-dimensional gauge theory compactified on a two-sphere. The six-dimensional theory is a twisted compactification of N = (1, 1) SUSY Yang-Mills theory of the type considered by Maldacena and Nunez (MN) in [1]. In particular, we calculate the full classical spectrum of the N = 1 * theory with gauge group U (N) in ...

Caring for Deconstruction

Deconstructing Dimensional Deconstruction

Dimensional deconstruction (DD) abstracts from higher dimensional models features of related 4–dimensional ones. DD was proposed in Refs. [1–3] as a scheme for constructing models of naturally light composite Higgs boson. These are models in which—without fine–tuning of parameters—the composite Higgs’s mass M and vacuum expectation value v are much lighter than its binding energy scale Λ. We re...

Deconstruction in a nutshell.

What is deconstruction? Nothing, of course. (Derrida, 1991, p. 275) . . . deconstruction doesn’t consist in a set of theorems, axioms, tools, rules, techniques, methods . . . there is no deconstruction, deconstruction has no specific object . . . (Derrida, 1996, p. 218) . . . deconstruction is neither an analysis nor a critique. . . . I would say the same about method. Deconstruction is not a m...
