Compactification of gauge theories and the gauge invariance of massive modes

Topological mass term in effective Brane-World scenario with torsion

“…Now, we follow an approach similar to [3] (see also [31]) in order to find an effective action for the KR field on the four dimensional brane. The lagrangian can be decomposed as…”

From massive self-dual p-forms towards gauge p-forms

“…The construction of the equivalent first-class system can be achieved using the gauge unfixing [2][3][4][5][6] or constraints conversion [7][8][9][10][11] methods. This quantization procedure has been applied to various models [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Self-energies for interacting fields with a compactified spatial dimension

“…In this scenario we can cite, for instance, studies about the proton stability in six dimensions [3], grand unified theories in extra dimensions [4], the descriptions of the Higgs particle from models with extra dimensions [5], a justification of the Electroweak symmetry breaking with extra spatial dimensions compactified and without the introductions of the Higgs field [6,7], the development of spontaneous broken symmetry of spaces with compactified dimensions [8], the role of the Casimir effect in the radius stabilization of extra dimensions [9], the gauge invariance of massive modes of quantum fields in theories with extra dimensions compactified [10], thermal effects of fields with spatial dimensions compactified [11], the existence of an unbroken subgroup of the six-dimensional Lorentz symmetry for models with chiral compactification [12]. Other examples are the studies of the influence of boundary conditions in the cosmological scenario [13], in the corrections to the masses of fields [14,16], in symmetry breaks [17,18] and in the renormalization of quantum field theories in non-simply connected space-time [19].…”
