The gauge structure of the four dimensional effective theory originated in a pure five dimensional Yang-Mills theory compactified on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$, is discussed on the basis of the BRST symmetry. If gauge parameters propagate in…
We start from a pure Yang-Mills theory defined on a spacetime with one universal extra dimension that we orbifold-compactify. We obtain a Kaluza-Klein (KK) theory by expanding in KK towers covariant objects rather than fields, as such an…
A five dimensional pure Yang--Mills theory, with the fifth coordinate compactified on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ of radius R, leads to a four dimensional theory which is governed by two types of local gauge transformations, namely, the well…
We study five-dimensional Yang-Mills theories compactified on an S^1/Z_2 orbifold. The fundamental Lagrangian naturally includes brane kinetic terms at the orbifold fixed points which are induced by quantum corrections of the bulk fields.…
We provide an explicit construction of a manifestly duality invariant, interacting deformation of Maxwell theory in four dimensions in terms of mutually local, but interacting 1- and 3-forms. Interestingly, our theory is formulated directly…
The radiative correction to beta function is comprehensively studied at 1 loop in the context of universal extra dimensions. Instead of using cutoffs to regularize 1-loop divergences, the dimensional regularization scheme is used. Large…
We construct a manifestly gauge invariant Lagrangian in 3+1 dimensions for N Kaluza-Klein modes of an SU(m) gauge theory in the bulk. For example, if the bulk is 4+1, the effective theory is \Pi_{i=1}^{N+1} SU(m)_i with N chiral (\bar{m},m)…
The well-known Yang-Mills theory with one $ S^{1} / Z_{2}$ universal extra dimension (UED) is generalized to an arbitrary number of spatial extra dimensions through a novel compactification scheme. In this paper, the Riemannian flat based…
We deepen the understanding of the quantization of the Yang-Mills field by showing that the concept of gauge fixing in 4 dimensions is replaced in the 5-dimensional formulation by a procedure that amounts to an $A$-dependent gauge…
Compactified Yang-Mills theories with one universal extra dimension were found [arXiv:1008.4638] to exhibit two types of gauge invariances: the standard gauge transformations (SGTs) and the nonstandard gauge transformations (NSGTs). In the…
We introduce and study a new class of power-counting non-renormalisable gauge theories in four space-time dimensions. The Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the self-dual part of the field strength. The resulting perturbation theory has…
A new set of gauge invariant variables is defined to describe the physical Hilbert space of $d = 3 + 1$ $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory in the fixed-time canonical formalism. A natural geometric interpretation arises due to the $GL(3)$ covariance…
In this work we study the main properties and the one-loop renormalization of a Yang-Mills theory in which the kinetic term contains also a fourth-order differential operator; in particular, we add to the Yang-Mills Lagrangian the most…
After adding auxiliary fields and integrating out the original variables, the Yang-Mills action can be expressed in terms of local gauge invariant variables. This method reproduces the known solution of the two dimensional $SU(N)$ theory.…
A gauge invariant regularisation which can be used for non-perturbative treatment of Yang-Mills theories within the exact renormalization group approach is constructed. It consists of a spontaneously broken SU(N|N) super-gauge extension of…
Relevant physical models are described by singular Lagrangians, so that their Hamiltonian description is based on the Dirac theory of constraints. The qualitative aspects of this theory are now understood, in particular the role of the…
One-loop Standard Model observables produced by virtual heavy Kaluza-Klein fields play a prominent role in the minimal model of universal extra dimensions. Motivated by this aspect, we integrate out all the Kaluza-Klein heavy modes coming…
We present the quantum Yang-Mills theory in the four-dimensional de Sitter ambient space formalism. In accordance with the SU$(3)$ gauge symmetry the interaction Lagrangian is formulated in terms of interacting color charged fields in…

Effects of universal extra dimensions on Standard Model observables first arise at the one-loop level. The quantization of this class of theories is therefore essential in order to perform predictions. A comprehensive study of the Standard…
