Gauge Coupling Variation in Brane Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the space–time variation of gauge couplings in brane world models induced by the coupling to a bulk scalar field. A variation is generated by the running of the gauge couplings with energy and a conformal anomaly while going from the Jordan to the Einstein frame. We indicate that the one-loop corrections cancel implying that one obtains a variation of the fine structure constant by either directly coupling the gauge fields to the bulk scalar field or having bulk scalar field dependent Yukawa couplings. Taking into account the cosmological dynamics of the bulk scalar field, we constrain the strength of the gauge coupling dependence on the bulk scalar field and relate it to modifications of gravity at low energy.

Localization of Kaluza-Klein gauge fields on a brane
In phenomenological models with extra dimensions there is a natural symmetry group associated to a brane universe, – the group of rotations of normal bundle of the brane. We consider Kaluza-Klein gauge fields corresponding to this group and show that they can be localized on the brane in models with warped extra dimensions. These gauge fields are coupled to matter fields which have nonzero rota...
متن کاملGauge Unification in Supersymmetric Intersecting Brane Worlds
We show that contrary to first expectations realistic three generation supersymmetric intersecting brane world models give rise to phenomenologically interesting predictions about gauge coupling unification. Assuming the most economical way of realizing the matter content of the MSSM via intersecting branes we obtain a model independent relation among the three gauge coupling constants at the s...
متن کاملStandard model-like D-brane models and gauge couplings
We systematically search intersecting D-brane models, which just realize the Standard Model chiral matter contents and gauge symmetry. We construct new classes of non-supersymmetric Standard Model-like models. We also study the gauge coupling constants of these models. The tree level gauge coupling is a function of the compactification moduli, the string scale, the string coupling and the windi...
متن کاملA simple SO(10) GUT in five dimensions
A simple supersymmetric SO(10) GUT in five dimensions is considered. The fifth dimension is compactified on the S/(Z2 × Z ′ 2) orbifold possessing two inequivalent fixed points. In our setup, all matter and Higgs multiplets reside on one brane (PS brane) where the original SO(10) gauge group is broken down to the Pati-Salam (PS) gauge group, SU(4)c×SU(2)L× SU(2)R, by the orbifold boundary condi...
متن کاملOn Relation between Two Models of Gauge Field Localization on a Brane
We discuss the relation between two different models which are recently proposed as the model of localizing bulk gauge fields on a brane. In the former model, the localization of gauge field is achieved by adding both bulk and boundary mass terms while in the latter, it is done by taking into consideration the coupling between the gauge field and the dilaton field (this model is also regarded a...
