Abstract

Some part of the local gauge symmetries in the low energy region, say, lower than GUT or the Planck energy can be an induced symmetry describable with the holonomy fields associated with a topologically non-trivial structure of partially compactified space. In the case where a six dimensional space is compactified by the Kaluza-Klein mechanism into a product of the four dimensional Minkowski space M4M_{4} and a two dimensional Riemann surface with the genus gg, Σg\Sigma_{g}, we show that, in a limit where the compactification mass scale is sent to infinity, a model lagrangian with a U(1) gauge symmetry produces the dynamical gauge fields in M4M_{4} with a product of gg U(1)'s symmetry, i.e., U(1)××\times \cdots\timesU(1). These fields are induced by a Berry phase mechanism, not by the Kaluza-Klein. The dynamical degrees of freedom of the induced fields are shown to come from the holonomies, or the solenoid potentials, associated with the cycles of Σg\Sigma_{g}. The production mechanism of kinetic energy terms for the induced fields are discussed in detail.
