Abstract

V originále

Combining the semiclassical localization mechanism for gauge fields with N domain wall background in a simple SU(N) gauge theory in 5 space-time dimensions, we investigate the geometric Higgs mechanism, where a spontaneous breakdown of the gauge symmetry comes from splitting of domain walls. The mass spectra are investigated in detail for the phenomenologically interesting case SU(5) -> SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1), which is realized on a split configuration of coincident triplet and doublet of domain walls. We derive a low-energy effective theory in a generic background using the moduli approximation, where all nonlinear interactions between effective fields are captured up to 2 derivatives. We observe novel similarities between domain walls in our model and D-branes in superstring theories.
