Nikos Irges
TL;DR
This paper reviews a non-perturbative, quantum bosonic mechanism for gauge symmetry breaking called Gauge-Higgs Unification, implemented on a five-dimensional orbifold lattice with boundary Higgs-like dynamics.
Contribution
It introduces a rare quantum bosonic Higgs mechanism within a non-perturbative lattice framework for gauge symmetry breaking.
Findings
Demonstrates a pure quantum and bosonic Higgs mechanism
Constructs the model on a five-dimensional orbifold lattice
Shows spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking on boundaries
Abstract
We review a construction called Non-Perturbative Gauge-Higgs Unification which is a rather rare type of Higgs mechanism that is a pure quantum and bosonic effect. It is constructed on a five-dimensional "orbifold lattice" with SU(2) bulk gauge symmetry and a (spontaneously broken) Abelian-Higgs like theory on the boundaries.
