Renormalized Kaluza-klein Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
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 are determined in a precise way. We check our results by studying the reduction of QED 4 on a two-torus.

Renormalized Masses of Heavy Kaluza-klein States
Several ways of computing the radiative corrections to the heavy boson masses in Kaluza-Klein theory are discussed. It is argued that only an intrinsically higher dimensional approach embodies all the desired physical properties.
متن کاملNew Bubble Decays In Kaluza-Klein Theories
We describe new bubble decays in pureD+1 dimensional Einstein theory with two compact directions. The instanton solution is constructed by analytic continuation of the Kaluza-Klein electrically charged black hole solution. We show that the instanton describes the decay of a Kaluza-Klein vacuum MD−1 × T 2 with a non-vanishing torus tilt parameter. The decay is produced by the creation of a bubbl...
متن کاملDivergences in Kaluza – Klein Models and their String
Effective field theories with (large) extra dimensions are studied within a physical regularization scheme provided by string theory. Explicit string calculations then allow us to consistently analyze the ultraviolet sensitivity of Kaluza–Klein theories in the presence or absence of low energy supersymmetry.
متن کاملKaluza-klein Gravity in the Context of Modern Embedding Theories of the Spacetime
We review and discuss the original Kaluza-Klein theory in the framework of modern embedding theories of the spacetime, such as the recent induced matter approach. We show that in spite of their seeming similarity they constitute rather distinct proposals as far as their geometrical structure is concerned.
متن کاملCausal Anomalies in Kaluza-Klein Gravity Theories
Causal anomalies in two Kaluza-Klein gravity theories are examined, particularly as to whether these theories permit solutions in which the causality principle is violated. It is found that similarly to general relativity the field equations of the space-time-mass Kaluza-Klein (STM-KK) gravity theory do not exclude violation of causality of Gödel type, whereas the induced matter Kaluza-Klein (I...
