Spontaneous orbifold symmetry breaking and generation of mass hierarchy

arXiv:hep-th/0101030

Abstract

A very simple mechanism is proposed that stabilizes the orbifold geometry within the context of the Randall-Sundrum proposal for solving the hierarchy problem. The electroweak TeV scale is generated from the Planck scale by spontaneous breaking of the orbifold symmetry
