Gauge-Higgs Unification and Quark-Lepton Phenomenology in the Warped Spacetime

In the dynamical gauge-Higgs unification of electroweak interactions in the Randall-Sundrum warped spacetime the Higgs boson mass is predicted in the range 120 GeV -- 290 GeV, provided that the spacetime structure is determined at the Planck scale. Couplings of quarks and leptons to gauge bosons and their Kaluza-Klein (KK) excited states are determined by the masses of quarks and leptons. All quarks and leptons other than top quarks have very small couplings to the KK excited states of gauge bosons. The universality of weak interactions is slightly broken by magnitudes of $10^{-8}$, $10^{-6}$ and $10^{-2}$ for $\mu$-$e$, $\tau$-$e$ and $t$-$e$, respectively. Yukawa couplings become substantially smaller than those in the standard model, by a factor |\cos \onehalf \theta_W| where $\theta_W$ is the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm phase (the Wilson line phase) associated with dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.Comment: 34 pages, 7 eps files, comments and a reference adde

Geometric Origin of CP Violation in an Extra-Dimensional Brane World

The fermion mass hierarchy and finding a predictive mechanism of the flavor mixing parameters remain two of the least understood puzzles facing particle physics today. In this work, we demonstrate how the realization of the Dirac algebra in the presence of two extra spatial dimensions leads to complex fermion field profiles in the extra dimensions. Dimensionally reducing to four dimensions leads to complex quark mass matrices in such a fashion that CP violation necessarily follows. We also present the generalization of the Randall-Sundrum scenario to the case of a multi-brane, six-dimensional brane-world and discuss how multi-brane worlds may shed light on the generation index of the SM matter content.Comment: 24 pages, 1 figure; references adde

A model of CP Violation from Extra Dimension

We construct a realistic model of CP violation in which CP is broken in the process of dimensional reduction and orbifold compactification from a five dimensional theories with $SU(3)\times SU(3) \times SU(3)$ gauge symmetry. CP violation is a result of the Hosotani type gauge configuration in the higher dimension.Comment: 5 page

CP Violation from Dimensional Reduction: Examples in 4+1 Dimensions

17th IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium: Work in Progress Sessions

The Table of Contents for the workshop is contained in 1996-027-00main.pdfDear Colleagues: This year marks the beginning of a new tradition within the Real-Time Systems Symposium, that of holding special sessions for the presentation of new and on-going projects in real-time systems. The prime purpose of these Work In Progress (WIP) sessions is to provide researchers in Academia and Industry an opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback thereon from the real-time community at large. The idea of holding these sessions is timely, and I am pleased to report that this year RTSS'96 WIP received 22 submissions, of which 14 have been accepted for presentation during the symposium and for inclusion in RTSS'96 WIP proceedings. Many people worked hard to make the idea of holding the WIP sessions a reality. In particular, I would like to thank Sang Son for his hard work in accommodating the WIP sessions within the busy schedule of RTSS'96. Also, I would like to thank all members of the RTSS'96 Program Committee, Al Mok and Doug Locke in particular, for their encouragement and constructive feedback regarding the organization of these sessions. Finally, I would like to thank all those who submitted their work to RTSS'96 WIP and those from RTSS'96 program committee who helped review these submissions. I hope these sessions will prove beneficial, both to the WIP presenters and to RTSS'96 attendees. Azer Bestavros RTSS'96 WIP Chair December 1996.IEEE-CS TC-RT
