Deconstructing 5D supersymmetric U(1) gauge theories on orbifolds
Adam Falkowski, Hans-Peter Nilles, Marek Olechowski +1
We investigate deconstruction of five dimensional supersymmetric abelian gauge theories compactified on , with various sets of bulk and matter multiplets. The problem of a…
Localized anomalies in heterotic orbifolds
F. Gmeiner, S. Groot Nibbelink, H. P. Nilles +2
Recently spatially localized anomalies have been considered in higher dimensional field theories. The question of the quantum consistency and stability of these theories needs furt…
Brane induced supersymmetry breakdown and restoration
K. A. Meissner, H. P. Nilles, M. Olechowski
We investigate the phenomenon of brane induced supersymmetry breakdown on orbifolds in the presence of a Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. General consistency conditions are derived for ar…
New brane solutions in higher order gravity
A. Jakobek, K. A. Meissner, M. Olechowski
We consider the higher order gravity with dilaton and with the leading string theory corrections taken into account. The domain wall type solutions are investigated for arbitrary n…
Instabilities of bulk fields and anomalies on orbifolds
S. Groot Nibbelink, H. P. Nilles, M. Olechowski
Bulk matter modes of higher dimensional models generically become unstable in the presence of additional matter multiplets at the branes. This quantum instability is driven by loca…
Spontaneous localization of bulk matter fields
S. Groot Nibbelink, H. P. Nilles, M. Olechowski
We study models compactified on S^1/Z_2 with bulk and brane matter fields charged under U(1) gauge symmetry. We calculate the FI-terms and show by minimizing the resulting potentia…
