Universal Features of Dimensional Reduction Schemes from General Covariance Breaking
Paolo Maraner, Jiannis K. Pachos
Many features of dimensional reduction schemes are determined by the breaking of higher dimensional general covariance associated with the selection of a particular subset of coord…
Dimensional Reduction by a Two-Form (another alternative to compactification)
P. Maraner
It is shown that the local coupling of a higher dimensional graviton to a closed degenerate two-form produces dimensional reduction by spontaneous breakdown of extra-dimensional tr…
Fermion Quantum Numbers and Families Replication from an Extension of Space-Time Relativity
P. Maraner
The fermionic sector of the Standard Model of Elementary Particles emerges as the low energy limit of a single fermionic field freely propagating in a higher dimensional background…
Effective Dynamics on a Line
P. Maraner
The effective classical/quantum dynamics of a particle constrained on a closed line embedded in a higher dimensional configuration space is analyzed. By considering explicit exampl…
