Vacuum structure and dynamical symmetry breaking in gauge-Higgs unification models

چکیده
We study the vacuum structure and dynamical symmetry breaking in the gaugeHiggs unification of the 5D theory compactified on an orbifold, S/Z2. This theory identifies Wilson line degrees of freedoms as “Higgs doublets”. We consider SU(3)c × SU(3)W and SU(6) models with the compactification scale of order a few TeV. The gauge symmetries are reduced to SU(3)c × SU(2)L × U(1)Y and SU(3)c × SU(2)L × U(1)Y × U(1), respectively, through the orbifolding boundary conditions. We study the vacuum structure by use of the one loop effective potential of “Higgs doublets”. The symmetry breaking pattern depends on numbers of bulk fields and their representations. Especially, the suitable electro-weak breaking is realized through the radiative corrections when there are suitable numbers of bulk fields possessing the suitable representations.

Dynamical symmetry breaking in Gauge - Higgs unification of 5 D N = 1 SUSY theory
We study the dynamical symmetry breaking in the gauge-Higgs unification of the 5D N = 1 SUSY theory, compactified on an orbifold, S/Z2. This theory identifies Wilson line degrees of freedoms as “Higgs doublets”. We consider SU(3)c × SU(3)W and SU(6) models, in which the gauge symmetries are reduced to SU(3)c×SU(2)L×U(1)Y and SU(3)c×SU(2)L×U(1)Y ×U(1), respectively, through the orbifolding bound...
متن کاملFurther thoughts on supersymmetric E8 as a family and grand unification theory
We continue the analysis of the possibility of supersymmetric E8 as a family unification and grand unification theory, this time under the assumptions that there is a vacuum gluino condensate, but that this condensate is not accompanied by dynamical generation of a mass gap in the pure E8 gauge theory. Arguments supporting these assumptions are given. When the E8 theory is coupled to supergravi...
متن کاملHolographic Methods and Gauge-Higgs Unification in Flat Extra Dimensions
I review the holographic techniques used to efficiently study models with Gauge-Higgs Unification (GHU) in one extra dimension. The general features of GHU models in flat extra dimensions are then reviewed, emphasizing the aspects related to electroweak symmetry breaking. Two potentially realistic models, based on SU(3) and SO(5) electroweak gauge groups, respectively, are constructed.
متن کاملGauge-higgs Unification in Six Dimensions
Motivated by the pressing problem of the “little hierachies”, the possibility of realizing a consistent model of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking via the so-called “Gauge-Higgs Unification Mechanism” is discussed. We identify a class of 6 dimensional SU(3) gauge models in which a single Higgs doublet originates from the internal components of the gauge fields. The Higgs mass is beautifoully predic...
متن کاملHolographic Grand Unification
We present a framework for grand unification in which the grand unified symmetry is broken spontaneously by strong gauge dynamics, and yet the physics at the unification scale is described by (weakly coupled) effective field theory. These theories are formulated, through the gauge/gravity correspondence, in truncated 5D warped spacetime with the UV and IR branes setting the Planck and unificati...
