Deconstructing 5D supersymmetric U(1) gauge theories on orbifolds

Abstract

We investigate deconstruction of five dimensional supersymmetric abelian gauge theories compactified on $S_1/Z_2$, with various sets of bulk and matter multiplets. The problem of anomalies, chirality and stability in the deconstructed theories is discussed. We find that for most of the 5d brane/bulk matter assignments there exists the deconstructed version. There are, however, some exceptions.

arXiv commentDiscussion of mixed anomalies and some clarifying commments added. Version to appear in Phys.Lett. B
