On the Consistency of Coset Space Dimensional Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this letter we consider higher-dimensional Yang–Mills theories and examine their consistent coset space dimensional reduction. Utilizing a suitable ansatz and imposing a simple set of constraints we determine the four-dimensional gauge theory obtained from the reduction of both the higher-dimensional Lagrangian and the corresponding equations of motion. The two reductions yield equivalent results and hence they constitute an example of a consistent truncation.

Dimensional Reduction over Coset Spaces and Supersymmetry Breaking
We address the question of supersymmetry breaking of a higher dimensional supersymmetric theory due to coset space dimensional reduction. In particular we study a ten-dimensional supersymmetric E8 gauge theory which is reduced over all six-dimensional coset spaces. We find that the original supersymmetry is completely broken in the process of dimensional reduction when the coset spaces are symm...
متن کاملSome relations between $L^p$-spaces on locally compact group $G$ and double coset $Ksetminus G/H$
Let $H$ and $K$ be compact subgroups of locally compact group $G$. By considering the double coset space $Ksetminus G/H$, which equipped with an $N$-strongly quasi invariant measure $mu$, for $1leq pleq +infty$, we make a norm decreasing linear map from $L^p(G)$ onto $L^p(Ksetminus G/H,mu)$ and demonstrate that it may be identified with a quotient space of $L^p(G)$. In addition, we illustrate t...
متن کاملDimensional reduction , truncations , constraints and the issue of consistency 1 Josep
A brief overview of dimensional reductions for diffeomorphism invariant theories is given. The distinction between the physical idea of compactification and the mathematical problem of a consistent truncation is discussed, and the typical ingredients of the latter –reduction of spacetime dimensions and the introduction of constraints– are examined. The consistency in the case of of group manifo...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction over Fuzzy Coset Spaces
We examine gauge theories on Minkowski space-time times fuzzy coset spaces. This means that the extra space dimensions instead of being a continuous coset space S/R are a corresponding finite matrix approximation. The gauge theory defined on this non-commutative setup is reduced to four dimensions and the rules of the corresponding dimensional reduction are established. We investigate in partic...
متن کاملConsistency analysis of Kaluza-Klein geometric sigma models
Geometric σ-models are purely geometric theories of scalar fields coupled to gravity. Geometrically, these scalars represent the very coordinates of spacetime, and, as such, can be gauged away. A particular theory is built over a given metric field configuration which becomes the vacuum of the theory. Kaluza-Klein theories of the kind have been shown to be free of the classical cosmological con...
