Abstract

We introduce the basic equivariant quantity QQ in the gauge theory on the noncommutative descrete Z2Z_{2} space, which plays an important role for the equivariant dimensional reduction. If the gauge configuration of the ground state on the extra dimensional space is described by the equivariant QQ, then the extra dimensional space is invisible. Especially, using the equivariance principle, we show that the Yang-Mills theory on R2×Z2R^{2}\times Z_{2} space is equivalent to the Yang-Mills-Higgs model on R2R^{2} space. It can be said that this model is the simplest model of this type.
