Clash of Symmetries in a Brane World Picture

TL;DR

This paper explores how the 'Clash of Symmetries' phenomenon in brane world models offers a novel approach to breaking continuous symmetries, supported by specific theoretical models.

Contribution

It introduces new models demonstrating the 'Clash of Symmetries' as a mechanism for symmetry breaking in higher-dimensional brane scenarios.

Findings

Models show symmetry breaking via Clash of Symmetries

Provides theoretical framework for brane-world symmetry phenomena

Suggests new avenues for understanding symmetry breaking in extra dimensions

Abstract

If our (3+1) dimensional universe is a brane or domain wall embedded in a higher dimensional space, then a phenomenon that may be designated as "Clash of Symmetries" provides a new method of breaking continuous symmetries. The paper presents some non-trivial models containing the physical ideas.
