In a paper1 published in 1979 Manton has derived the bosonic sector of the Weinberg-Salam electroweak model by considering the Yang-Mills Lagrangian on a six-dimensional space M4×S2. The model turned out to be very rigid and identified the Weinberg angle with the angle between two neighbor roots in the Cartan diagram of the gauge group. leading to θW=60° for SU(3), θW=45° for O(5) and θW=30° for G2 and to the equality of the masses of the Z particle and of the Higgs boson. We generalize this model by identifying the Yang-Mills Lagrangian with a part of the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian on the fibre bundle P(M4×S2), and by adding to it a Gauss-Bonnet invariant. which produces new terms, quartic and cubic in Fμν. This in turn modifies the definition of the Weinberg angle and the Higgs mass. The new free parameter is the dimensional factor in front of the Gauss-Bonnet term. We discuss the values of MW, MZ and MH in function of this parameter and the radii of the internal space S2 of the gauge group G. Realistic values can be obtained if the Gauss-Bonnet term contributes to the Lagrangian with a negative sign.

In this paper, we study consequences of the assumption that the gauge group [Formula: see text] of the standard model is a nonassociative image of [Formula: see text]. Such an approach allows us to take a different look at the Higgs mechanism and obtain the value of the Weinberg angle in very good agreement with the experiment.

The question of whether contributions of exotic multiplets of the gauge group to the running of gauge coupling constants from the string scale to low energy can lead to consistency with the precision low energy values of gauge couplings is discussed for theories with SO(6)×SO(4), SU(3)×SU(3)×SU(3) and flipped SU(5)×U(1) grand unification.

The electroweak model is formulated on the nonlinearly realized gauge group SU (2) ⊗ U (1). This implies that in perturbation theory no Higgs field is present. This paper provides the effective action at the tree level, the Slavnov–Taylor identity (necessary for the proof of physical unitarity), the local functional equation (used for the control of the amplitudes involving the Goldstone bosons) and the subtraction procedure (nonstandard, since the theory is not power-counting renormalizable). Particular attention is devoted to the number of independent parameters relevant for the vector mesons; in fact, there is the possibility of introducing two mass parameters. With this choice the relation between the ratio of the intermediate vector meson masses and the Weinberg angle depends on an extra free parameter. We briefly outline a method for dealing with γ5 in dimensional regularization. The model is formulated in the Landau gauge for sake of simplicity and conciseness. The QED Ward identity has a simple and intriguing form.

Abstract Compactifications of the heterotic string on special Td/ℤ2 orbifolds realize a landscape of string models with 16 supercharges and a gauge group on the left-moving sector of reduced rank d + 8. The momenta of untwisted and twisted states span a lattice known as the Mikhailov lattice II(d), which is not self-dual for d > 1. By using computer algorithms which exploit the properties of lattice embeddings, we perform a systematic exploration of the moduli space for d ≤ 2, and give a list of maximally enhanced points where the U(1)d+8 enhances to a rank d + 8 non-Abelian gauge group. For d = 1, these groups are simply-laced and simply-connected, and in fact can be obtained from the Dynkin diagram of E10. For d = 2 there are also symplectic and doubly-connected groups. For the latter we find the precise form of their fundamental groups from embeddings of lattices into the dual of II(2). Our results easily generalize to d > 2.

Abstract We give an interpretation of the holographic correspondence between two-dimensional BF theory on the punctured disk with gauge group PSL(2, ℝ) and Schwarzian quantum mechanics in terms of a Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction. The latter, in turn, is equivalent to the presence of certain edge states imposing a first class constraint on the model. The constrained path integral localizes over exceptional Virasoro coadjoint orbits. The reduced theory is governed by the Schwarzian action functional generating a Hamiltonian S1-action on the orbits. The partition function is given by a sum over topological sectors (corresponding to the exceptional orbits), each of which is computed by a formal Duistermaat-Heckman integral.
