    A general formula of the effective potential in 5D SU(N) gauge theory on orbifold

    Full text link
    We show a general formula of the one loop effective potential of the 5D SU(N) gauge theory compactified on an orbifold, S1/Z2S^1/Z_2. The formula shows the case when there are fundamental, (anti-)symmetric tensor and adjoint representational bulk fields. Our calculation method is also applicable when there are bulk fields belonging to higher dimensional representations. The supersymmetric version of the effective potential with Scherk-Schwarz breaking can be obtained straightforwardly. We also show some examples of effective potentials in SU(3), SU(5) and SU(6) models with various boundary conditions, which are reproduced by our general formula.Comment: 22 pages;minor corrections;references added;typos correcte

    Correct Effective Potential of Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory on M^4\times S^1

    Full text link
    We study an N=1{\cal N}=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory defined on M4×S1M^4\times S^1. The vacuum expectation values for adjoint scalar field in vector multiplet, though important, has been overlooked in evaluating one-loop effective potential of the theory. We correctly take the vacuum expectation values into account in addition to the Wilson line phases to give an expression for the effective potential, and gauge symmetry breaking is discussed. In evaluating the potential, we employ the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism and introduce bare mass for gaugino in order to break supersymmetry. We also obtain masses for the scalars, the adjoint scalar, and the component gauge field for the S1S^1 direction in case of the SU(2) gauge group. We observe that large supersymmetry breaking gives larger mass for the scalar. This analysis is easily applied to the M4×S1/Z2M^4\times S^1/Z_2 case.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur

    Dynamical symmetry breaking in Gauge-Higgs unification of 5D N=1{\mathcal N}=1 SUSY theory

    Full text link
    We study the dynamical symmetry breaking in the gauge-Higgs unification of the 5D N=1{\mathcal N}=1 SUSY theory, compactified on an orbifold, S1/Z2S^1/Z_2. This theory identifies Wilson line degrees of freedoms as ``Higgs doublets''. We consider SU(3)c×SU(3)WSU(3)_c \times SU(3)_W and SU(6) models, in which the gauge symmetries are reduced to SU(3)c×SU(2)L×U(1)YSU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y and SU(3)c×SU(2)L×U(1)Y×U(1)SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1), respectively, through the orbifolding boundary conditions. Quarks and leptons are bulk fields, so that Yukawa interactions can be derived from the 5D gauge interactions. We estimate the one loop effective potential of ``Higgs doublets'', and analyze the vacuum structures in these two models. We find that the effects of bulk quarks and leptons destabilize the suitable electro-weak vacuum. We show that the introduction of suitable numbers of extra bulk fields possessing the suitable representations can realize the appropriate electro-weak symmetry breaking.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures;disscutions on Higgs quartic couplings adde

    Baryogenesis from Dark Sector

    Full text link
    We propose a novel mechanism to generate a suitable baryon asymmetry from dark (hidden) sector. This is a Baryogenesis through a reverse pathway of the "asymmetric dark matter" scenario. In the mechanism, the asymmetry of dark matter is generated at first, and it is partially transferred into a baryon asymmetry in the standard model sector. This mechanism enables us not only to realize the generation of the baryon asymmetry but also to account for the correct amount of dark matter density in the present universe within a simple framework.Comment: 7 page

    Analytic Solutions to the RG Equations of the Neutrino Physical Parameters

    Get PDF
    In the case of two generation neutrinos, the energy-scale dependence of the lepton-flavor mixing matrix with Majorana phase can be governed by only one parameter r, which is the ratio between the diagonal elements of neutrino mass matrix. By using this parameter r, we derive the analytic solutions to the renormalization group equations of the physical parameters, which are the mixing angle, Majorana phase, and the ratio of the mass-squared difference to the mass squared of the heaviest neutrino. The energy-scale dependence of the Majorana phase is clarified by using these analytic solutions. The instability of the Majorana phase causes in the same parameter region in which the mixing angle is unstable against quantum corrections.Comment: LaTeX2e, 9 pages, 6 figure

    The effects of Majorana phases in three-generation neutrinos

    Full text link
    Neutrino-oscillation solutions for the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and the solar neutrino deficit can determine the texture of the neutrino mass matrix according to three types of neutrino mass hierarchies as Type A: m1≪m2≪m3m_1^{} \ll m_2^{} \ll m_3^{}, Type B: m1∼m2≫m3m_1^{} \sim m_2^{} \gg m_3^{}, and Type C: m1∼m2∼m3m_1^{} \sim m_2^{} \sim m_3^{}, where mim_i is the ii-th generation neutrino absolute mass. The relative sign assignments of neutrino masses in each type of mass hierarchies play the crucial roles for the stability against quantum corrections. Actually, two physical Majorana phases in the lepton flavor mixing matrix connect among the relative sign assignments of neutrino masses. Therefore, in this paper we analyze the stability of mixing angles against quantum corrections according to three types of neutrino mass hierarchies (Type A, B, C) and two Majorana phases. Two phases play the crucial roles for the stability of the mixing angles against the quantum corrections.Comment: LaTeX2e, 15 pages, 8 figure

    Multi-Higgs Mass Spectrum in Gauge-Higgs Unification

    Full text link
    We study an SU(2) supersymmetric gauge model in a framework of gauge-Higgs unification. Multi-Higgs spectrum appears in the model at low energy. We develop a useful perturbative approximation scheme for evaluating effective potential to study the multi-Higgs mass spectrum. We find that both tree-massless and massive Higgs scalars obtain mass corrections of similar size from finite parts of the loop effects. The corrections modify multi-Higgs mass spectrum, and hence, the loop effects are significant in view of future verifications of the gauge-Higgs unification scenario in high-energy experiments.Comment: 32 pages; typos corrected and a few comments added, published versio
