Quantum corrections to Higher-Dimensional Theories
Enrique Álvarez, Antón F. Faedo
This is a non-technical summary of the subtleties of quantum corrections on extra-dimensional theories: should one first renormalize and then mode expand, or first expand in four-d…
Renormalized masses of heavy Kaluza-Klein states
Enrique Álvarez, Antón F. Faedo
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 appro…
Transverse Fierz-Pauli symmetry
E. Alvarez, D. Blas, J. Garriga +1
We consider some flat space theories for spin 2 gravitons, with less invariance than full diffeomorphisms. For the massless case, classical stability and absence of ghosts require…

Enrique Álvarez, Antón F. Faedo
The contents of this paper have been incorporated in the new version of hep-th/0602150.
Renormalized Kaluza-Klein theories
Enrique Álvarez, Antón F. Faedo
Using six-dimensional quantum electrodynamics () as an example we study the one-loop renormalization of the theory both from the six and four-dimensional points of view. Our…
