Higgs mechanism in five-dimensional gauge theories
Magdalena Luz, Nikos Irges, Francesco Knechtli
Lattice simulations of five-dimensional gauge theories on an orbifold revealed that there is spontaneous symmetry breaking. Some of the extra-dimensional components of the gauge fi…
Lattice Gauge Theory Approach to Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking from an Extra Dimension
N. Irges, K. Knechtli
We present lattice simulation results corresponding to an SU(2) pure gauge theory defined on the orbifold space E_4 x I_1, where E_4 is the four-dimensional Euclidean space and I_1…
Non-perturbative mass spectrum of an extra-dimensional orbifold
N. Irges, F. Knechtli
We analyse non-perturbatively a five-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory compactified on the S^1/Z_2 orbifold. In particular, we present simulation results for the mass spectrum of the…
Gauge theories on a five-dimensional orbifold
Francesco Knechtli, Burkhard Bunk, Nikos Irges
We present a construction of non-Abelian gauge theories on the R^4 x S^1/Z_2 orbifold. We show that no divergent boundary mass term for the Higgs field, identified with some of the…
Non-perturbative definition of five-dimensional gauge theories on the R^4 x S^1/Z_2 orbifold
Nikos Irges, Francesco Knechtli
We construct a Z_2 orbifold projection of SU(N) gauge theories formulated in five dimensions with a compact fifth dimension. We show through a non-perturbative argument that no bou…
