Symmetry Reduction, Gauge Transformation and Orbifold

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We study a mechanism of symmetry reduction in a higher-dimensional field theory upon orbifold compactification. Split multiplets appear unless all components in a multiplet of a symmetry group have a common parity on an orbifold. A gauge transformation property is also examined.
